Reading An Infuriating Man is a lot like looking into a mirror. Leo Rosten lends credence to what I've described in Kevin's parlour as the intolerable labor of thought, doesn't he?

The essence of political freedom is the absence of coercion of one man by his fellow men. The fundamental danger to political freedom is the concentration of power. The existence of a large measure of power in the hands of a relatively few individuals enables them to use it to coerce their fellow men. Preservation of freedom requires either the elimination of power where that is possible, or its dispersal where it cannot be eliminated.
- Milton Friedman
