Commentary
The assault on enterprise of the last few years—meaning not the biggest politically connected businesses but smaller ones reflecting vibrant commercial life—has taken very strange forms. Ever since the New York Times said the way forward was to “go Medieval,” the elites have been attempting just that. But this medievalism has not come at the expense of Big Data, Pharma, Ag, or Media. It mainly hits products and services that impact our freedom to buy, trade, travel, associate, and otherwise manage our own lives.
