And she rarely concerns herself with whether or not what she is doing is actually helping.

But the problem often slips his mind as soon as the protests slow down and the people tire of shouting and cops tire of swinging their batons and the news vans drive off to the next burning building or gunshot wound. To tell you the truth, the ideal scenario for all Statists, it seems, is a magical Willy Wonka Factory, paid for by the most productive in society, which miraculously spits out flavorful goodies on demand for all the people who deserve their fair share. Most people want all the luxuries which capitalism has afforded them, without hard work, economics, or reality in general, getting in the way of a good time.

Whatever the people want, the Statists shout, The Factory can do it. No feat is too largesse. Look at all the money the rich have! Of course, we can get The Factory up and running!

How to Kill a Unicorn

Unicorns, of course, are fabulous horse-like creatures with a large spiraling horn on their forehead. They eat rainbows, but can go without eating for years if necessary. They can carry enormous amounts of cargo without tiring.

And their flatulence smells like pure, fresh strawberries, which makes riding behind them in a wagon a pleasure. For all these reasons, unicorns are essentially the ideal pack animal, the key to improving human society and sharing prosperity. Now, you want to object that there is a flaw in the above argument, because unicorns do not actually exist. This would clearly be a fatal flaw for the claim that unicorns are useful, if it were true.

Now envision a unicorn.

The one I see is white, with an orange-colored horn. The unicorn is surrounded by rainbows. So, unicorns do exist and we have a shared conception of what they are. I come from the Public Choice tradition, which tends to emphasize consequentialist arguments more than natural rights, and so the distinction is particularly important for me.

My friends generally dislike politicians, find democracy messy and distasteful, and object to the brutality and coercive excesses of foreign wars, the war on drugs, and the spying of the NSA. When I finally realized that we were talking past each other, I felt kind of dumb. Because essentially this very realization — that people who favor expansion of government imagine a State different from the one possible in the physical world — has been a core part of the argument made by classical liberals for at least years.

Questions?

Edmund Burke highlights the unicorn fallacy neatly. The problem is not bad people, or systems that need reform. The next reform will lead to Utopia! In vain you tell me that [government] is good, but that I fall out only with the Abuse.

Recensie(s)

The Thing itself is the abuse! Observe, my Lord, I pray you, that grand Error upon which all artificial legislative Power is founded. It was observed, that Men had ungovernable Passions, which made it necessary to guard against the Violence they might offer to each other. They appointed Governors over them for this Reason; but a worse and more perplexing Difficulty arises, how to be defended against the Governors?

Adam Smith put it this way in The Wealth of Nations:.

It is the system of government, the situation in which [people] are placed, that I mean to censure, not the character of those who have acted in it. They acted as their situation naturally directed, and they who have clamoured the loudest against them would probably not have acted better themselves.

But the insight is a general one: The failure of a system of organization often arises from the incentives, the logic of action, or the inconsistencies inherent in that system. The people who work in that system probably act in much the same way that other people would act if they found themselves in that system.
