"Challenging Conventional Wisdom: Economist Takes Aim at Progressive Ideology A growing debate is underway among economists and policymakers, with some arguing that the principles of free markets are being unfairly maligned by progressive ideologies. A recent statement posits that the notion that free markets are somehow in opposition to human dignity is a fundamental misunderstanding of the relationship between economic systems and societal values. Critics of this ideology claim that it unfairly restricts individual freedoms and stifles economic growth, while proponents argue that it prioritizes the well-being of the most vulnerable members of society. As the discussion continues, one thing is clear: the future of economic policy hangs in the balance."
Positing that free markets are somehow antithetical to human dignity is explicitly progressive framing.
