In defence of capitalism, the most virtuous economic system yet devised.



Recebi do nosso grupo de Economia Política o post completo que o escritor e jornalista Daniel Hannan publicou hoje em seu blog no jornal The Telegraph. Trata-se de um texto muito bom na demonstração de como funciona o capitalismo e confirma o que eu sempre comento: ainda não inventaram um modelo econômico melhor que o capitalismo.

In defence of capitalism, the most virtuous economic system yet devised.

There’s nothing selfish about capitalism. Like every economic model, it is a matrix within which individual actors can behave morally or immorally. But here’s the thing: no one has yet come up with a system that rewards decent behaviour to the same extent.

In an open market based on property rights and free contract, you become wealthy by offering an honest service to others.  I am typing these words on a machine developed by the late Steve Jobs. He gained from the exchange (adding fractionally to his net wealth) and so did I (adding to my convenience).

Under the various forms of corporatism tried by fascist and socialist regimes, by contrast, someone else – generally a state official – gets to allocate the goodies, guaranteeing favoritism and corruption.
