Freeing Growth: The Neo-Capitalist Manifesto

A highly recommended read, the author has some very interesting ideas. You can read it easily, it's around 50 pages. Download the pdf file from here: Freeing Growth: The Neo-Capitalist Manifesto.
Some quotes to tease you:

We believe that in order to free growth, we must embrace the following philosophy, principles and worldview:

1. We are borne into slavery: the bonds of ignorance and irresponsibility. Ignorance stems from unfulfilled ability. Irresponsibility stems from not understanding the consequences of exercising capability. Freedom can ONLY be gained from depth of understanding and skill giving forth to capability. Responsibility can ONLY be gained from understanding capability, therefore true freedom can only be responsible freedom.

2. Self-improvement can ONLY come from within through love, perseverance and creativity. It can be aided, encouraged or cajoled from outside, but like love it can never be externally imposed without permission. An optimally growing society equals every single citizen growing at their optimal rate which can ONLY be achieved by each citizen and each group having the freedom to self-determine their improvement, and to reap the consequences of that which they sow.

Re: Freeing Growth: The Neo-Capitalist Manifesto

IMO with all reasoness and beauty of ideas for one person, its not applicable in today's society for a group of people as a whole, i think prosperity of the society it is difficult or even unable to reach with truly freedom for ppl
because in that case strength of the chain is the strength of the weakest link in the chain... truth hurts
check this film if u havent saw it already

Re: Freeing Growth: The Neo-Capitalist Manifesto
