LIBERTY BALANCE
- Share via
The communitarian movement does pose a threat to individual liberty (“Tough Medicine for a Sick America,” by Michael D’Antonio, March 22), but it is hardly original. I had to laugh when D’Antonio claimed that the idea of surrendering self-interest to an arbitrary public good has “grown into an influential intellectual force” in “little more than a year.” The idea of renouncing one’s liberty in the name of the state is not new but is as wicked as it ever was.
