Friday Interview: Bad Socioeconomic Metaphors

RALEIGH — Most of us spend little time thinking about the concept of “socioeconomic metaphors.” But those metaphors can play a major role in determining how we view the role of government in our lives. That’s the contention of Max Borders, executive editor of the Free To Choose Network. He delivered an address to the John Locke Foundation’s Shaftesbury Society on the topic “Socioeconomic Metaphors: The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly.” Borders also discussed the topic with Mitch Kokai for Carolina Journal Radio.
