But elimination of subsidies, and un-restricting the actions of business, when some of these business make enormous sums of money, does not play well with the masses. Liberalism favors the free play of incentives - and with it, the possibility of gross inequality. Demagogues can easily pander to free-lunch and egalitarianist instincts of the masses, particularly when the underlying logic of liberalism is, however valid, less than transparent.
