Bolsa Familia, for instance is one of the best programs on earth and undoubtedly a net positive to the country.

I was just reading about this on Wikipedia and I ran across the wonderful quote (from a monitor from the World Bank, of all institutions) 'In some cases adults will even work harder because having this safety net encourages them to assume greater risks in their activities'. Now that I've seen it framed this way, I'm astounded that more 'muh profit motive' 'muh competitiveness' types haven't considered this concept. Heck, didn't Juliet Rhys-Williams and Milton Friedman both support some sort of basic income for this reason?

Off topic, but fun item: I found a first edition copy of "Libertarianism, A Political Philosophy For Tomorrow," by Hospers at a used book store.

Publication date: 1970.

On the back "A political philosophy whose time has come!"

I had a good chuckle and bought it for three bucks.

Tomorrow belongs to me

I'm using a schoolwork account on my computer that I don't allow myself to use YouTube or social media on; is this by any chance the Spitting Image version?
