Steve Forbes Bücher

Has capitalism failed? Is it fundamentally greedy and immoral, enabling the rich to get richer? Are free markets Darwinian places where the most ruthless crush smaller competitors, where vital products and services are priced beyond the ability of many people to afford them? Capitalism is the world's greatest economic success story. It is the most effective way to provide for the needs of people and foster the democratic and moral values of a free society. Yet the worst recession in decades has widely-and understandably-shaken people's faith in our system. Even before the current crisis, capitalism received a "bad rap" from a culture ambivalent about free markets and wealth creation. This crisis of confidence is preventing a full recognition of how we got into the mess we're in today-and why capitalism continues to be the best route to prosperity. How Capitalism Will Save Us transcends labels such as "conservative" and "liberal" by showing how the economy really works. When free people in free markets have energy to solve problems and meet the needs and wants of others, they turn scarcity into abundance and develop the innovations that are the foremost drivers of economic growth. The freedom of democratic capitalism is, for example, what enabled Henry Ford to take a plaything of the rich-the car-and transform it into something affordable to working people. In the capitalist system, economic growth doesn't mean more of the same-grinding out a few more widgets every year. It's about change to increase overall wealth and give more people the chance for a better life.

"Inflation explains the forces behind the epidemic of soaring prices squeezing individuals and businesses still struggling in the aftermath of the COVID pandemic. An alarming rise in the cost of living has stoked fears of a new crisis resembling the decade-long inflation of the 1970s. Some even raise the specter of a descent into the kind of Weimar-style hyperinflation that has torn apart so many nations. Can this be true? If so, what should be done? How should we prepare for the future?"-- Provided by publisher

In keinem Bereich des menschlichen Bemühens spuken so viele Irrtümer herum wie in der Wirtschaft. Das ist kein Zufall. Die dem Fach eigenen Schwierigkeiten sind schon groß genug. Sie werden aber um ein Vielfaches erweitert durch das nachhaltige Eintreten für eigennützige Interessen. Die Auswüchse solcher Kurzsichtigkeit bekommen wir alle täglich zu spüren. Hazlitt analysiert überzeugend, scharfsinnig und für jedermann verständlich die verhängnisvollen Wirkungen der wirtschaftspolitischen Irrtümer unserer Tage. Wer seine 'Lektion' gelesen hat (wozu es keiner großen Mühe bedarf, weil es keine Kenntnisse voraussetzt), wird vieles klarer und mit anderen Augen sehen. Er wird die wirtschaftlichen Zusammenhänge besser verstehen.
