Is liberal egalitarianism committed to big government? This response argues that the relationship may be one of convenience. It starts with Peter Simpson’s recent argument for a decentralized authority far weaker than the recognizable state. From the minimalist baseline set by Political Illiberalism, the paper then considers what elements of the state are necessary for liberal egalitarianism. What follows is an underpopulated institutional position, “small government egalitarianism,” which pairs a highly redistributive state with a small public sector.

Simpson's Political Illiberalism restores to its proper place in political theory Plato's thesis that bad music imperils the whole culture and polity, a thesis ignored with utter recklessness in contemporary liberal practice and, for the most part, theory. But Simpson's elaboration of the thesis over-simplifies the characteristics of Bach's (and later) "modern" music that make it dangerous, somewhat in the way that the Providential "composing" of human history, with all its complexities, involves discord and danger. One such hazardous complexity is the addition of prophetic divine revelation ("Jerusalem") to the achievements of (divinely given) human reason exercised in natural science and philosophy ("Athens"). The eventual completion of revelation includes the lapidary "Render to Caesar ... " formula, the two poles of which our soi-disant liberal doctrines about public good characteristically reduce to one. These Notes, complementary to Simpson's book, suggest that such a unilateral prioritizing of public peace over truth is inherently prejudicial to the political community's more fundamental common good, a common good prejudiced also by parallel failings at the ecclesiastical pole.
