"Talking to the Quirky Conservative within Himself"

"Much of the left’s agenda, 'Unstoppable' argues, can be justified by citing revered conservative authors. Adam Smith described the invisible hand but also the 'bad effects of high profits.' Friedrich Hayek condemned certain cartels and monopolies. Russell Kirk, who feared untrammeled government and capitalism, wrote that John D. Rockefeller and Karl Marx 'were merely two agents of the same social force—an appetite cruelly inimical to human individuation.'
"Nader cites these and other examples to argue that left and right should band together against the common enemy of 'corporatism.' It’s really more the Naderite left he’s talking about, and an ever-shrinking pool of principled conservatives. But let’s hear him out."
