Pretenția de a ști: de la controlul chiriilor la impozitul pe valoarea de piață a locuinței (Op-ed)

The article critiques the belief in human reason as the ultimate guide for societal evolution, arguing that this arrogance leads to negative consequences in economic policies. It discusses the flawed notion of constructing justice through rational procedures, as proposed by Rawls, emphasizing that real societal values emerge from tradition and community rather than abstract reasoning. The author highlights the dangers of political constructivism, which often results in unintended adverse effects, using examples from France and the UK to illustrate how top-down policies can lead to segregation and societal division. The rise of illiberalism in democracies is linked to these misguided policies, warning that failure to recognize these patterns could lead to significant political upheaval.
