Frasi di George Reisman

George Gerald Reisman è un economista statunitense, esponente della scuola austriaca, professore emerito di economia alla Pepperdine University, nonché autore di diversi libri, tra i quali spiccano The Government Against the Economy e il più conosciuto Capitalism: A Treatise on Economics .

Reisman nacque a New York il 13 gennaio 1937, ottenne il suo Ph.D. alla New York University sotto la direzione di Ludwig von Mises. È un netto difensore del libero mercato e del capitalismo laissez-faire.

In Capitalism Reisman cercò di fare una sintesi tra il pensiero della scuola classica britannica e la scuola austriaca, unite ai pensieri di importanti economisti, quali Adam Smith, David Ricardo, James Mill, John Stuart Mill, Carl Menger, Eugen von Böhm-Bawerk, e Ludwig von Mises.

Reisman si avvicinò molto presto al gruppo facente capo a Ayn Rand, la quale ebbe su di lui e sul suo pensiero un'influenza pari al mentore di Reisman, Ludwig von Mises. Egli si identifica come oggettivista, anche se rimase per poco tempo membro dell'Ayn Rand Institute, a causa di dissidi con altri membri, soprattutto Harry Binswanger e Peter Schwartz. Wikipedia

“Like the use of the word 'concupiscence' in an earlier age to describe sexual desire, the use of the word 'pollution' to describe essential aspects of the productive activities of an industrial society represents an attempt to defame an entirely proper human capacity by means of using an evil sounding name for it.”

“The truth is that economic competition is the very opposite of competition in the animal kingdom. It is not a competition in the grabbing off of scarce nature-given supplies, as it is in the animal kingdom. Rather, it is a competition in the positive creation of new and additional wealth.”

Capitalism: A Treatise on Economics (1996)

“The green movement, in other words, is the red movement stripped of the veneer of reason and science and bent on the destruction of reason and science rather than take the trouble to learn what reason and science actually are. The green movement is the red movement no longer in its boisterous, arrogant youth, but in its demented old age.”
