Right now it's just intellectual garbage, but it's this type of person who ends up in Obama's cabinet of czars: ivy league educated, theoretical, and very confident in his assessments of what society "needs."
Notice his comment below the article:
"What I'm actually advocating is that employers treat their employees humanely. Basically, it's no longer acceptable to say that if someone agrees to work for $8 an hour it's ok to treat them any way you like, because their work environment has an effect on others who aren't able to consent."
His underlying assertion is that government shouldn't really have a constitutional limit on interfering with a private contract. Rather, private contracts should fit his definition of "acceptable" and "humane."
"very confident in his assessments of what society 'needs.'"
I don't understand how you got this. I specifically delineated my theories with "I suspect", so as to make it clear that they were unproven and represented only my best guess based on the evidence available.
