liberal society does not impose a particular account of human flourishing on its citizens.
Laura Anne
That is key. But when resources flow to those who pursue wealth at the expense of other aspects of flourishing, liberals condemn those individuals as bad. No one is furious at the salt of the earth grandma who acted all her life selflessly to care for her family and community, leaving her with a wealth of happiness/community, but financially poor. Instead, we seek to tear down the lonely and isolated single male exec who works 80-hour weeks and cannot hope to spend all his cash wealth.
