P and L are philosophical stances, not professions. There are Ls in business, in academia, and even in government, just as there are Ps.

For evidence that P is not a straw man, one can reach back to the War Socialism of the Wilson administration or to FDR’s Brain Trust; or one can simply look to the present administration.
