The sociopathic crisis — Ken Zimmerman
Extreme individuals results is sociopathy. Margaret Thatcher's ""There is no such thing as society" epitomizes it.
Milton Friedman was a sociopath, and he even looked like one. It's sad how so much of the right loved him, especially when many traditional conservative values were not sociopathic: saving, working hard, studying, not living beyond your means, the importance of community, charity, being stewards of the countryside (conservation), and not wasting anything, ie, recycling, except these are liberal values too. I certainly hold them.
