Mr. Hayden reserves polite but withering scorn for President Obama over many things, for hypocrisy (adopting many of the practices he criticized while campaigning); for the Iran deal (though he concedes that the president did not have "a lot of better choices"); but mostly for the decision to release the Bush administration "torture memos," the legal justifications for authorizing coercive interrogation.

Free-market advocates hold fast to justifications that amount to variations on the "invisible hand" theory of Adam Smith — that the economy is not a moral space, but one that relies on a free and fair market, self-interested (as opposed to selfish) actors and amoral (as opposed to immoral) calculation to arrive at the most efficient and innovative outcomes.
