Over at Townhall.com, this weekend, your Common Sense columnist expands on Friday’s Common Sense. It’s a tricky subject, discrimination. We hope you find it a rounded-out discussion, and worthy of sharing with your friends. The difference between the classical idea of freedom, and today’s rather different notion, is worth exploring.
So, click on over, and come back here for a few additional links:
- Mississippi State Sovereignty Committee, Wikipedia (on state support of discrimination in the South)
- “Two Approaches to Gay Marriage,” Wirkman Virkkala (on the politics of freedom versus the politics of inclusion)
- Economics of Discrimination, by Gary Becker (classic work on the subject)
- Economics of the Colour Bar, by W.H. Hutt (discrimination policies in South Africa from a great economist who urges the classical idea of republican freedom)
- The Case for Discrimination, by Walter Block (here the economics and politics take a more radical turn)
