The chain that led me to Pascal Boyer’s short essay on “Why people don’t like markets” is long. Arpit Gupta, who kindly sent it to me, found it via Arnold Kling who found it via Joe Carter, all of whom I know. This visible chain reminds me of the invisible chains that are a big part of why I instinctively like markets: they connect me to millions of strangers, who work in concert to make our lives possible. Yet as Boyer explains, this is not a universally-held view.
