I like the Derb most of the time. But every once in a while he comes up with something like this about individual wealth:
"I believe that even in the freest and most open society, it is possible to have too much inequality, and I think that the state can legitimately interfere to moderate inequality. ... I do think that the dark side of ordinary human nature -- of which envy is certainly a component -- needs to be allowed for if society is to be stable and harmonious."
I just don't get it.
