This piece by Bill Bradley and Paul Jansen, is a perfect example of the central planning, or technocrat, mentality. Charities can't be left autonomous. They must be marshalled to meet the needs of the socialist vision.

I've just started Hayek's The Road to Serfcom, and realized that he is making the same points as Barry Goldwater in Conscience of a Conservative, that government solutions deprive us of freedom. I often wonder if the founders of the great charitable foundations were to come back and see how their wealth was being used, they'd be very upset.
