The weak link in your essay takes your whole point of view down like a house of cards. The invisible hand is not timely enough to prevent ecological and health hazards. Try left-libertarianism, because it doesn't require control any more than right-. Authoritarianism isn't part of that. You forget that being right-leaning (meaning wealth extraction for wealth's sake) instead of left-, (saving wealth for emergencies and the future) contributes to all of society's ills. It is literally the love of money.

Your believe in government, some centralized authority acts more timely doing anything than the invisible hand of people acting rationally to hazards?!?! Wow. Takes your whole point of view down like a house of cards.

Your definition of right-leaning. Your paradigm. Your belief. Not shared. Not accepted. Easily taken down.

Money is not responsible for society's ills. *Love* of money is. Right-leaning has nothing to do with *love* of money. It is a unit of exchange for value. Your wealth extraction for wealth's sake definition of right-leaning is flawed beyond repair. False or debatable definitions = False pronouncements of a "truth."
