The Economics and Egoism of Profit - Morals & Markets Podcast

Join Atlas Society Senior Scholar Richard Salsman, Ph.D., for our quarterly Morals & Markets webinar. This month, Dr. Salsman covers the economics of egoism of profit:

"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. Profit is crucial to capitalism, but even in our personal (non-commercial) lives, we’re rational and right to maximize the benefits versus the costs of our actions. On economic, ethical, and personal grounds, profit deserves our unabashed allegiance."
