If the providing firm is small enough, it may not be liable either. If you don't like anything but pretty female secretaries, you tell the firm owner you liked Jenny better and don't send Tom again. If the owner doesn't get the point quickly enough, or doesn't want to get the point, you go to another firm. The laws Olson describes will push us into becoming a nation of individual contractors and independent service providers instead of employees, and with that comes the undoing of all the employment laws, ridiculous or not. Then the government will have to start regulating those choices as well.
Government merits nary a word.
Washington myopia also clouds Lynch's review of my recommendations for health policy. Lynch eagerly plays a muddled version of Washington's tired class warfare game, but he does not grasp the fundamental economics of health insurance. And while Lynch is perfectly willing to violate libertarian principles to force the wealthy to subsidize the health insurance premiums of the middle class, he is unwilling to force anyone to subsidize the costs of health insurance for the poor. They may create the support for a market-driven health insurance system that the muddled health policy snorers have thus far failed to spark. Contrary to Prof. Herzlinger's suggestion, I neither engaged in class warfare nor violated libertarian principles.
