The Economics and Egoism of Profit

Morals & Markets with Dr. Richard Salsman ·

2024/08/27

"Profit foes accept the ‘zero-sum’ fallacy and the myth that factors of production create equal value. Disdain for profit reflects a deeper distrust of its ethical essence – rational self-interest.

On economic, ethical, and personal grounds, profit deserves our unabashed allegiance." - Richard Salsman
