Analytical Egalitarianism

Tyler Cowen on David Levy:

David combines expertise in Adam Smith, ancient Greek democracy, non-normal distributions, Victorian literature, and advanced Monte Carlo techniques...
...Analytical egalitarianism helps us vanquish the Socratic claim to find impartial or trustworthy planners. All these themes are played out in literary and philosophic works over the ages, and David helps you trace the connections.

There's an irrefutable hypocrasy underlying modern egalitarians, since their analytics assume pluralism. Political systems are hopelessly bound by elitism, and the old Labour rear guard must respond to the work of Levy.

The phenomenon comes from human action not human design. The illustration is beautifully designed.
