I found I had to take a step back on the book project because my original thesis--which was essentially an indictment of government--was becoming philosophically untenable. The basic facts are still the same, but I needed to rework the narrative thread, because where it was going was towards a conclusion I could not believe myself (and if I don't believe it, it's a given no one else will, either).
But the conflict between power and morality, between power and liberty, is something that I think deserves greater attention and exploration--and that's where I am going with it now.
It's what makes this sort of activity fun--my writings are far more an education for me than they are for anyone else!
Have you read anything by Stephen Caux? He is another deep thinker who has written about ways for capitalism to be true capitalism, yet also caring and moral.
I mention these sources, not to direct you to people who have come up with answers, but because your powerful analytical mind will feed off their ideas and upstage them on every point. They could help you to refine and flesh out your arguments and solutions, and serve as creative sparks.
You have one of the best minds I’ve ever been privileged to encounter. You’re also a beautiful soul and admirable man. Bless you always, Peter!
