Good introduction to how statism contributes to economic and social inequalities with detailed historical and contemporary examples. The core argument that large corporations and wealth accumulation would not be possible without state subsidies made convincing and consistent.<br/><br/>It is a recommended read for anyone thinking that regulation will make the world more just. History shows time and time again how even the best intentions get corrupted in the coercive state system. A particularly nuanced argument made by Kevin Carson is that deregulation (as preached by most free market proponents) can be unjust too if approached without addressing the roots of systemic inequality.<br/><br/>I enjoyed writing style of some of the contributors much more than others. Maybe editors could emphasize readability over originality and academic writing style more.
