Will Wilkinson I've never lived or worked in my homeland, which does not tax the incomes of citizens abroad (hence the move to try to kneecap the growth of citizens in Hong Kong, Lebanon, and U.S. with new first generation born abroad limit, etc.). And I own no property here. So I'm in the clear.

Incidentally, while it's useful to think about Schumpeter in this context, he's certainly not just Rand-for-political-economists. The routinization of innovation was a crucial part of his model.

in On Going Galt on Will Wilkinson
"By the way, Atlas buffs, the point of Atlas Shrugged is not that you are John Galt. The point is that you are *not* John Galt. "

Though I've never read AS, this strikes me as highly likely as a claim about the book, and profound and important as a claim about the way the book is almost always read.

It's also funny as hell.

Kenholio You've never read Atlas Shrugged? And you're opining about it?? That's like listening to the Pope talking about sex!

It's also funny as hell.
