The Danger of Choice

 

                           The Danger of Choice

The changes of the last year have allowed the Left to show a bit more of themselves--and what they think of us.

In one of his recent New York Times columns (“Too Much Choice Is Hurting America,” March 1, 2021), Nobel economist Paul Krugman worries about the United States having become "a country in which many of us are actually offered too many choices, in ways that can do a lot of harm.
It’s true that both Economics 101 and conservative ideology say that more choice is always a good thing. In the real world, too much choice can be a big problem. …"

Lemieux wrote, "When Prof. Krugman states that “many of us are actually offered too many choices,” he doesn’t include himself, but only the poor or those who he thinks don’t have his intellect. What would he say if some intellectual told him that he has too many book choices?"

But the elite has confidence in themselves, not the little people. In the back of their minds, the elite are not sure freedom works.
