Criticism
Brink Lindsey views "progressive" movement's economic preferences, such as subsidies, protective tariffs, and central planning, labor laws, fair trade, or complicated income taxes, to actually be regressive or conservative in nature. He, along with Milton Friedman, argue that these progressive policies actually cause serious harm to the poorest members of society but lead to reductions in innovation and effecenciy that lead economic and technological progress.
This should stay, even if the article is small and crappy. Leftists have no reason deleting refrenced material just because. End of story. Now stop the censorship. (Gibby 14:21, 28 February 2006 (UTC))
- You are only posting generalised criticism. If the reader wants to know why people have the free market in the first place, they can read up on the article. The concept itself is a reaction towards selected free market cultural concepts — firstly, if you cite where the economists in questions specifically attack progressivism, then yes, it will be way more meritable. At now you are on the verge of posting weasel words. Add a sentence, if you like, referring back.Elle vécut heureuse (Be eudaimonic!) 23:03, 28 February 2006 (UTC)
