Capitalismo e a sociedade livre
My new article on the website of the Future of Freedom Foundation is on, “Capitalism and the Free Society, Part I.”
https://www.fff.org/…/artic…/capitalism-free-society-part-1/
For well over a century, many intellectuals and ideologues and political vote getters have labeled “Capitalism” as the cause of most of the social misfortunes plaguing the world, with various forms of collectivism advocated as alternatives.

But in reality, capitalism stands as the opposite of everything that its critics have alleged about its impacts on society. It is the economic system that is based on personal freedom, voluntary association and interdependent mutual prosperity for all who participant in the marketplace of goods and ideas.
And in this article I try to explain how and why this is the case, and in part two I will refute many of the common criticisms and caricatures that have been conjured up about capitalism and the free society.

Genios
During the Renaissance, polymathy became part of the idea of the ‘perfected man’, the manifold master of intellectual, artistic and physical pursuits. Leonardo da Vinci was said to be as proud of his ability to bend iron bars with his hands as he was of the Mona Lisa.
Judeus duvidam a Biblia
The Bible and its stories about the first man and the creation of the world are not true because there is no physical evidence to back it up, according to a new lengthy investigation from one of Israel's top newspapers. Spanning roughly 5,000 words the article from left leaning Haaretz compares accounts in the Bible, from ancients Jews fleeing Egypt to descriptions of King David, and dismisses them all as fables.
"Is the Bible a True Story," the headline asks. "Despite feverish searching with Scripture in one hand and cutting-edge technology in the other, evidence backing the Bible remains elusive."
It goes on: "No evidence of the events described in the Book of Genesis has ever been found. No city walls have been found at Jericho, from the appropriate era, that could have been toppled by Joshua or otherwise. The stone palace uncovered at the foot of Temple Mount in Jerusalem could attest that King David had been there; or it might belong to another era entirely, depending who you ask."

Congresso
No Brasil demora-se quase 20 anos para um deputado aprovar uma lei. Menos de 30% dessas leis tem de fato alguma relevância. O Congresso custa mais de R$ 1 bilhão por ano, e nossos deputados registraram mais de 5 mil faltas somente em 2016. Será que o problema está só na presidência, ou precisamos começar a escolher melhor nossos representates? Saiba porque nossos deputados federais são tão ineficientes em meu artigo. Leia, comente e compartilhe. Quero sua opinião. Dissemine o conhecimento.

Como ter uma boa universidade
Asked by an audience in China why the University of Chicago was associated with so many winners of the Nobel Prize, Zimmer, the university’s president since 2006, answered that the key was a campus culture committed to “discourse, argument and lack of deference.”

Rothbard’s posthumous work. What a prolific genius. Us, the second-hand dealers of ideas, should promote his works and the value in them, regardless of politics and institutional feuding.
