Re: David Sklansky is an ACist
Did the Enlightenment come before land owners became kings and consolidated power?
It seems bizarre to make such claims about libertarian ethics leading to prosperity, when the most advanced civilizations on earth have been built on the centralization of power. Rome, England, in fact most of Europe, China - centralized governments and power hierarchies (such as monarchies) preceded widespread development.
Did the modern age of human rights come before or after widespread prosperity under stable governments?
