The libertarian-liberal quasi fusionist blog The Art of the Possible is rapidly becoming a must-read. And I’m not just saying that because my favorite libertarian blogger Jim Henley linked to one of my posts there. Maybe it’s also because of my own warring inner liberal and libertarian.
Case in point: where else would you find this exhaustive revisionist account of the “green revolution” written from a distinctly radical, anti-statist perspective, courtesy of Kevin Carson?
I think I may be coming around the the John Schwenkler view that what we really need is a hands-off policy in agriculture to create a level playing field and see if organic farming can deliver the goods.

YESSSSSSSSSSS!!!

Thanks for the link, Lee. Re the use of the market, I used to really get pissed at Dreher, at his old NRO blog, for accepting at face value the claims of the present agribusiness system to be the result of “the market.”
