The Morality of Capitalism

The second in the "What Your Professors Won't Tell You" series of essays on political economy, this collection features Nobel Prize winners Mario Vargas Llosa and Vernon Smith, Whole Foods Market CEO and founder John Mackey, noted Chinese economist Mao Yushi, economic historian Deirdre McCloskey, Russian political scientist Leonid Nikonov, and other scholars from across the globe. This book series is a project of Students for Liberty and Atlas Network and offers fresh perspectives on perennial questions: Are profits moral? Is there a trade-off between competition and cooperation? Is there a just distribution of wealth? and more. Each essay offers readers the opportunity to see a side of the debate on economic morality that is rarely acknowledged even to exist-and then to make up their own minds.
