...a continuing series.
I will comment at length with respect to my thought on the trajectory of civilization, markets, etc. For now, this article from the New York Times details some of the themes I have been discussing on this blog. Namely, that fundamentalism will seek to supplant the prevailing rules of order; basically swapping sytems of largely arbitrary rules from the gavel to the cloth.
a snippet:
These “Reconstructionists” are believers in Christian Reconstructionism, the philosophy of R. J. Rushdoony, who died in 2001. According to Reconstructionism, a Christian theocracy under Old Testament law is the best form of government, and a radically libertarian one. Biblical law, they believe, presupposes total government decentralization, with the family and church providing order. Until that day comes, Reconstructionists believe the rights to home-school and to worship freely at least provide the barest conditions of liberty.
