Ironic considering the 20s expanded welfare because robber barons and ultra wealthy crashed the economy betting on the stock market. Doubly so since libertarians supposedly believe in the free market of ideas, but when forced to extend the franchise of voting to women, literally more than 50% of the population, they no longer want a "free" market. I presume theil would gladly make the same statement about civil rights along with his ideas on women's suffrage and helping poor people stay alive.
