Comments on: The Bagman Analogy Revisited http://bradspangler.com/blog/archives/459 the bottom of the rabbit hole Fri, 19 Mar 2010 00:33:46 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.7 hourly 1 By: Matt Jenny http://bradspangler.com/blog/archives/459/comment-page-1#comment-11082 Matt Jenny Tue, 29 Aug 2006 23:27:45 +0000 http://www.bradspangler.com/blog/archives/459#comment-11082 Thanks for mentioning my analysis, Brad. I felt kind of bad when I wrote it since I knew that you didn't have that much free time right now to reply to it but I was really bored that evening when I wrote it (because I should've been studying for a French exam ;) ). Anyway, take your time. I'm looking forward to your response. I already see some minor flaws in my analysis and some points which I could've phrased more clearly, but I'll first wait for your response. I think this issue (and its implication for the analysis of Big Business and sweatshops etc.) is a decisive one to define a legitimate leftist branch within libertarianism which wants to distinguish itself from the libertarian right (in political analysis) and from the traditional left (in economic analysis). And I think that a left-libertarian analysis is essential to recruit new people (especially from the left) for our left-libertarian tactics. Thanks for mentioning my analysis, Brad.
