Responsibility Redefined

Today we have Arnold Kling with the best sentence I have read in a while…

To argue that you need to “behave more responsibly” is to argue that there is something wrong with prices.

Distrust of the price mechanism arises from realism about man’s fallen nature, but that really is not any of the government’s business.  We already have an institution which has assumed responsibility for caring for self-interestedness, I like to call it God.
