Philosophy Death Match
When I saw this, I was admittedly a little disappointed that the utility monster didn't have the invisible hand and Occam's razor among his weapons. I suppose utilitarianism and laissez-faire liberalism/(neo)classical economic theory are not really the same, but their supporters certainly did overlap: see J.S. Mill's support of free trade and unregulated prices [1]. But surely the weapons of the Leviathan must include the "Soveraign Power" and "the Right of Judicature" [2]. It is still a spectacular work of art, courtesy of Mark Zheng.[1] - J.S. Mill, On Liberty, (Indianapolis, IN: Hackett Publishing, 1978), 94.
