“The welfare state and the market state are now two defunct and mutually supporting failures.” Thus saith Phillip Blond, whose name will no doubt generate a spate of “dumb blond” jokes, primarily from the Right defenders of all things Leviathan except the Leviathan state needed to keep Leviathan capital in check.

I don’t know Blond well at all, but people I know who know what’s going on in political thought are among his groupies, so I’d say the name bears watching.
