Prejudice is Free, but Discrimination has Costs

by Steven Farron

Journal of Libertarian Studies

67 pages

I hear everyone groaning………. I read this back around 2000-2001 time frame. I thought it was brilliant. Recent SCOTUS decision makes it worth reading again.

Farron takes the reader thru history, periods of time of prejudice and the logical outcome of governments responses. Then

Malasia: The Affirmative Action Model

South Africa: History Repeats

The United States

Nazi Germany: The Ultimate Test

As applied to the US now: 1) did anti-discrimination laws achieve their goals, or 2) allow real racists, etc to hide behind a smoke screen? Did the Supreme Court decision just take the first step to exposing this?

Thought provoking if you want to take a few hours off……
