How the fuck did this ever happen in my lifetime?
Hayek said that capitalism solved so many of society's ills that the remaining ones became more intolerable to the masses. That's when socialism swept in, claiming to have solutions.

Normally, those people would have been bookkeepers or government clerks (or court eunuchs). Computers and market economies put those people out of work. Now, they want back in by causing problems with pretty words and then charging you millions for the "solutions."
