Real Capitalism

Posted in Uncategorized at 9:44 pm by Robin J. Elliott

 If you want to find the buried treasure, you need the right treasure map. If someone else has a vested interest in your NOT finding that treasure, he’s going to give you the wrong map - the wrong information. The reason why the poor get poorer while the rich get richer is that the rich use the right map - the right information. An employer doesn’t want you to start your own business; he prefers you to make HIM rich. Universities and colleges tell you that you need a good education in order to make money, because they want you to pay the lecturers’ salaries.

 Business owners need to take a new look at real Capitalism in order to prosper and avoid the poison of creeping socialism and collectivism in the western world. A wonderful example of this approach is this excellent article on Open Immigration. When people learn from witchdoctors and politicians, they learn how to be a living sacrifice for the parasites. Being properly educated results in different perceptions and  better choices. Thomas Sowell conducts a fascinating interview on his book, “Economic Facts and Fallacies” here.  In my opinion, the most enlightening education available on capitalism is Ayn Rand’s “Atlas Shrugged.”
