The free enterprise system is a great
creation, it has lifted humanity out of poverty, but it needs to be
improved upon in its exploitative nature. Ayn Rand's idea of
evil-altruism is not the enemy, as sociobiology has brilliantly
shown, altruism is the glue of successful survival for the group,
altruism is the creator of ethics for the group, upon whom the
individual certainly depends.
Taking the exploitative global hugeness out of business, and returning to economic nationalism, can improve
conditions between owners and workers. Affirming small states and
regions, and local business, will bring life back to the communities.
Then the whole nation can be protected with a light federalism, as the
Founding Fathers wanted.
Who or what gave us the dangerous idea that greed alone is good? Greed has all but destroyed our economic system, and our cultural life. It might sound overly romantic, but owners can care for the welfare of
their workers, like caring patriarchs, with the workers treated as
creative artisans rather than factory robots or cubicle drones.
