I came across this excellent article:

The only economic system logically correlative to such political liberty was and is a free market. If men have a right to their own lives – and are not the chattel of state or church – including the right to pursue their own happiness, then it follows that they must possess the right to own the product of their intellectual and bodily effort, and to exchange their work and its products voluntarily for whatever other goods they desire. Capitalism is freedom – and this involves freedom of the marketplace fully as much as freedom of the mind.

There are a lot of different emotions going on in the world: healthcare, recession, war, climate change, etc. We must not get lost in the chaos and we must not forget that economic freedom is the only true freedom. We must resolutely reject soft moralism and take a stand. The only real propellant of human societies is, has always been, and will always be economic prosperity.

Evolution favors strength. In societies, economy is the source of strength. The only system that puts Evolution in the context of economy is Capitalism. Please support Free Market wherever it is attacked.

Beware of the following concepts:

• Economic Justice - it leads to some form of communism
• A better world - the world has no good or bad, it is all relative
• Saving the planet - the planet will be here millions years after our extinction, people just want to save themselves
