Down The Memory Hole - Paul Krugman Blog - NYTimes.com

Who doesn't read Krugman now? But this column is particularly to the point, as it highlights the counterfactual, counter-historical claims made by libertarians and the unthinking. I encounter this mindset all the time in Foss, where advocates elide the unpleasant facts of government support (via education, say, to start with) and more or less blindly trumpet a radical free market notion of free and open source software collaboration. Think again.
