Excellent analysis! Couldn't have said it better myself. The point that I particularly love in the "relative pay is what's important" is that the only solution to the problem is ABSOLUTE equality through redistribution. Unless everyone makes exactly the same amount, there will always be "winners" and "losers" in the greedy, materialistic vision of the left.

Funny, isn't it customary to sneer at libertarians for thinking money is everything?

Clearly the author has never observed the narcissism of small differences.

Nor was he familiar with the history and structure of the Soviet Nomenklatura.

The reason I favor a society with multiple overlapping and uncoordinated institutions is that it provides scope for men to exercise their virtues. You may not be President of your company, but you might be a vestryman in your church or Capitan of your softball team.

There will always be silver backs in the primate band, the issue is what will be the scope for the nebbishes. In the Soviet system you are in the Nomenklatura or you are nothing. In a liberal pluralist society there are many bands and many roles.
