Radley Balko chimes in. He's not sold, needless to say. I still await Virginia Postrel to lay into Rod. I was stunned that her name doesn't come up at all in the book since she represents everything Crunchy Conservatism purports to be against and has laid out the most sustained and intellectually rigorous case for what the crunchies consider to be the Dark Side. I think Postrel is brilliant and often makes very useful points, but I'm not in her camp. Still, that's where the argument should be, if you ask me.
