LIBERTY AS AN ARISTOCRACY OF EVERYBODY, OR JUST FOR THOSE WHO CHOOSE LIBERTY?

It’s kind of admirable that the british enlightenment felt that they could create an aristocracy of everybody. And, given british power and circumstance, it’s possibly understandable how such an ambition could be honestly thought, and more than ideological marketing to the rapidly expanding colonials and bureaucrats, and motivation for the labor force. With such wealthy of course, it seemed at least plausible that the trend would continue forever.

But really. It was just marketing.

Good marketing.
