We are surrounded by miracles created in the private sector, particularly in the digital universe, and yet we don't appreciate them enough. Meanwhile, the public sector is systematically wrecking the physical world in sneaky and petty ways that really do matter. Jeffrey A. Tucker, in this follow-up to his 'Bourbon for Breakfast,' draws detailed attention to both. He points out that the products of digital capitalism are amazing, astounding, beyond belief—more outrageously advanced than anything the makers of the Jetsons could even imagine. The borders, the limits, the barriers—they are all being blasted away. Read "It's a Jetsons World: Private Miracles and Public Crimes" online:
