Individualism vs. kollektivism

Arnold Kling üllatab tavapärasest ülevaatlikuma ja põhimõttelisema artikliga The Collectivist Feeling, kus arutleb muuhulgas individualismi ja kollektivismi üle:

The Internet lowers the cost of entering a dispute over ideas. Because of the lack of central authority, the Internet is more conducive to a fair contest than to an indoctrination camp. Those of us who lean toward the libertarian side are not afraid of the ideas of the collectivists, only the consequences of those ideas. The collectivists, on the other hand -- particularly those who believe in teaching people to feel rather than to think -- are threatened by ideas, even the judicious, thoughtful speculation of the President of Harvard University.

Right on - soovitan soojalt kõigile Res Publica "tasuta" interneti ideed soojendavatele blogijatele/seltsimeestele ;-)

Pean tunnistama, et riiulis istub ka Klingi "Learning Economics", mis on saadaval tasuta siit.
