    The Oddest Couple

    The unnatural alliance between the free-marketeers and the Biblators exposes the irony that while Darwinism is the great bogey of the latter, the dog-eat-dog, winner-take-all, devil-take-the-hindmost ideology of the former was once known, rightly in my opinion, as Social Darwinism.
