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.
