A lot of times I read some ridiculous hooey at some soft-left - or even hard-left - outlet and I get a little antsy waiting for one of our bunch to refute it. Such was the case yesterday when Adam Gopnik at the New Yorker had the temerity to appropriate Adam Smith's argument for the consumer in The Wealth of Nations. He tried to make Professor Smith out to be some kind of champion of class struggle, pitting producers against consumers.
So it was heartening to see Yuval Levin's takedown of Gopnik at NRO today.
