With libertarianism, (a horrid and irrational pseudo-philosophy,) somewhat the rage in untutored circles these days, the gulf spill has me wondering how the destruction, (er, ‘moral hazard,’) is to be priced. I would offer that BP isn’t going to make the gulf whole, yet from the libertarian perspective, my hope is that the ultimate pricing does come to be embraced by the Randian/Rothbardian tribe.
