Even though I agree with that overall statement, you can't deny that society and the system we live in is way too complex to reduce down to a single notion and then attempt to shoehorn everything into it. Why don't libertarians pay attention to culture, for example? After all, isn't part of the reason so many young people today still go to college despite rising costs because it's part of the culture we live in?Julia Riber Pitthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03006439247714055292noreply@blogger.com
