THE VITAL CENTER OF THE UNENLIGHTENMENT
RE making ignorance chic:
There have been left or right leaning economists, as well as politicians.
There were, unfortunately, certain issues on which both politicians, and economists,
each leaning either way, really,
erroneously agreed,
call it the vital center, after one liberal apostle of the concept, E. J. Dionne:

On the one hand, it is hard for me to call such a process, system, or result, the product or expression of Enlightenment ideas or institutions,
on the other hand, it is hard to call it anything else, really.
Call it ' The Unenlightenment ' or ' The Endarkenment '
