Never has it been so hard to argue that there is such a thing as progress and that it is represented by liberal capitalism….
Sigh.
Liberal capitalism and its offshoot globalisation (essentially, the extension of liberal capitalism places that were formerly neither liberal nor capitalist) has led to decreasing global inequality and the largest reduction of poverty in the history of our species.
I call that progress: I\’d be interested to hear from anyone who thinks that it isn\’t…..
Stand back for the greenies to tell you that you have too narrow a perspective on progress.
“Progress” is increased state control of everything, which will lead us to a brighter and better future for all!
