Progress!!!

Steve Horwitz wrote a post about this video by Hans Rosling, which is just brilliant. Hayek argued in The Road to Serfdom that government control over economic affairs isn't just control over the material side of life, but control over the means by which we often pursue the most sacred in our lives.  Rosling, in this talk, shows how industry and commerce makes possible the things in life that improve the human condition.
