A REVIEW OF FOAMER LEVIN'S AGIT-PROP BOOK

Conor Friedersdorf slogged through Levin's "Liberty and Tyranny" and tells us what should be obvious to anyone familiar with his ranting radio show: Levin makes anyone who disagrees with him into a "statist," and Friedersdorf notes that this is a argument against a mostly imaginary villain.

I think Levin is more radical than Friedersdorf admits because for one, he seems to hate almost any restrictions on corporate behavior. Just a few days ago, he told a caller that "I oppose all anti-trust laws" and asserted that they were unnecessary because monopolies eventually collapse under their own weight.
