I’ve previously mentioned C4SS’s new feature, “Mutual Exchange,” which began with a piece by Anthony Gregory.

Kevin Carson’s reply to Anthony is now up.

I should note in passing that Kevin’s distinction between reductio ad absurdum arguments and arguments by analogy is very important, as these two are frequently conflated – particularly by those invoking Godwin’s Law. (For a discussion of the closely related conflation of arguments by counterexample with arguments by analogy, see Mike Watkins here.)

C4SS is starting a new feature, called Mutual Exchange, somewhat on the model of Cato’s “Cato Unbound.”

First up is a piece by Anthony Gregory taking issue with Kevin Carson’s recent article on corporations. Replies by Kevin and others will be posted later.

Other exchanges will follow, including a continuation of the Molinari Society symposium on spontaneous order.
