In Defence of Capitalism
Thursday, September 25th, 2008
Richard Branson has written a superb piece in today’s Daily Mail defending capitalism.
As Branson himself says:
“Capitalism may be in some sort of a crisis at the moment, but I still know of no better way of increasing human wealth and happiness.”
He goes on:
“Entrepreneurs have made the world a better place, taking the risks involved in innovating products and services that make people’s lives easier, better and safer. In the West, they have largely destroyed poverty as the rest of the world knows it and as history knows it.”
Now that the Left is intent on campaigning for a return to bigger government and dances on the supposed grave of capitalism it’s up to all of us to defend free-markets and to pronounce proudly: Capitalism Works!
