Some Chicago Boyz know each other from student days at the University of Chicago. Others are Chicago boys in spirit. The blog name is also intended as a good-humored gesture of admiration for distinguished Chicago School economists and fellow travelers.

Holy cow. That is truly frightening. At age 44, I recently reread 1984 (prompted, in no small part, by Christopher Hitchens) and was far more frightened by the book this time than I was the first time I read it, maybe 25 years ago. I think the difference is that I’m more aware of how delicate the fabric of freedom is and how easily it is lost by originally well-meaning but ultimately over-reaching democratically elected governments. The socialist nanny state metamorphisizes into tyranny and fascism very easily (thank you, Mr. Hayek).
Still, thought crimes and thought police in the UK. Holy cow.
I don’t think you’d ever see that sentence written here in the US. The p.c.- stormtroopers are firmly entrenched here. I thought that Britian had dodged the jackboot up to now. It sounds like they’re catching up, maybe even getting ready to overtake us.
That was very good.
I just wish the author had written about France. Then I could have just printed it and filed for political asylum.
