Townhall: Testing Humanity, and Other Fails

Sharing

Socialism depends for its increasing support upon widespread ignorance of economic reality. That it keeps creeping back into politics may not seem strange. What may seem strange is that a major business enterprise would also not understand that reality. But that appears to be the case. More at Townhall. And yet more below:

  • The company? Panera Bread.
  • It’s a franchise operation.
  • The Blaze reported on its “Panera Cares” experiment going “belly-​up.”
  • But for the full comedy, try NPR’s Planet Money podcast.
  • For the Pareto-​Schmoller tale, you could read Vilfredo Pareto’s Mind and Society. Or just check out this blogpost.
  • For why socialism cannot work like socialists say it can work, you might try Ludwig von Mises’ classic Socialism: An Economic and Sociological Analysis. (Pareto wrote a two-​volume work of a similar nature, but it has never been translated into English!)
