As far as any political idea can be falsified (as Popper and others would insist on), the post-Soviet experience resoundingly refuted libertarianism (or what Europeans call “liberalism”). Marx (another one of Mr. Hampl’s influential Austrian names) was proven resoundingly correct (ironically enough, in the Soviet Union): capitalism doesn’t arise from “spontaneous order” but from a period of “primitive accumulation” in which warlords, gangsters (Soviet Union) or corporations expropriate (i.e. steal) the common property of the people. Thus, Soviet oligarchs, or the corporations who bought up what Thatcher eagerly sold off. The only question is, where “experts” like Jeffrey Sachs simply stupid, or was libertarianism always a fraud, designed to disarm the public. I suppose a little of both.
