You provide an interesting contrast between Wolff and Friedman.

What is missing from both explanations is the element of personal responsibility. A person has to agree to a debt. A person has to agree to the making of the pencil. In both cases, the presence of an informed public is of critical importance.

Who is responsible for such knowledge? The people who would take advantage of ignorance or those who could inform themselves?

The either/or I propose is broad and probably misses the mark: But no more so than the one's provided by Wolff and Friedman.

Dear God. I hate Milton

Here is Milton Friedman' s Pencil talk. Draw your own conclusion. The whole premise is now very shallow because the free market that turned out to be not so free trade deal market. The corporations took the jobs to China. I know because I just bought a couple of packs of pencils that were made in China. How healthy is this for the economy?
