I've followed Wes Burt's suggestion and read an essay by his favourite economist, Henry Carter Adams, "Relation of the State to Industrial Action". I'm undecided at this point as to whether Adams will replace John Maurice Clark as _my_ favourite but there is no question that Adams presents a dazzling defense of individualism and critique of laissez faire all rolled up into one. My advice to futurework subscribers: read the essay. Thanks, Wes. regards, Tom Walker http://www.vcn.bc.ca/timework/covenant.htm
