The New Fusionism: the ascent of left-libertarianism in the 21st century

I agree except on the highways; they are a public good whose benefits can't be collected easily. I might turn the expressways into toll roads for heavy vehicles (because of the damage that overloaded vehicles do) but not passenger autos outside the large cities, tollways in urban areas because of the higher costs of maintenance and upgrading. The Interstate Highway system has paid for itself in reduction of the deaths and crippling injuries once more commonplace on inferior highways that they supplanted.

In any event we may still see the technological demise of highway traffic with internal-combustion vehicles.

... In any event we are going to see major changes in the way Americans do business, get educated, get compensated for work, get recreation, and mate.   The attempt to force America back into a model in which most people scrap for a living while a few live like princes (or old-fashioned  aristocrats or Chicago gangsters) is an attempt to bring back a past far worse than what anyone remembers.
