Stanford
University economist Thomas Sowell argues that that the Right is made up of
many different elements that have almost nothing to do with each other besides
opposition to the Left:
What
is called "the right" are simply the various and disparate opponents
of the left. These opponents of the left may share no particular principle,
much less a common agenda, and they can range from free-market libertarians to
advocates of monarchy, theocracy, military dictatorship or innumerable other principles,
systems and agendas.
