And Acknowledgments
INDEBTEDNESS, FLAWED REGULATORY MODELS, OVERSIZED BANKS, AND ASSET BUBBLES ARE THE UNFINISHED BUSINESS OF THE POST-CRASH DECADE
THE EXTENSION OF FREE TRADE TO EVERY CORNER OF EARTH REMAINS THE LAST BEST HOPE: POVERTY CAN ONLY BE HISTORY WHEN PROTECTIONISM IS HISTORY
GOVERNMENTS FOCUSED ON THE SHORT-TERM BUSINESS OF ELECTIONS HAVE NEGLECTED ONE OF THEIR MOST IMPORTANT TASKS: INVESTMENT IN INFRASTRUCTURE
THE STATE CANNOT REDUCE INEQUALITY BY TAXING THE RICH OR PENALISING THE POOR: IT MUST CONTROL MIDDLE CLASS ENTITLEMENTS
AN UNDESERVING CLASS OF RICH PEOPLE AND BUSINESSES DEPEND UPON ANTI-COMPETITIVE RELATIONSHIPS WITH GOVERNMENT FOR THEIR SUCCESS
SHORT-TERM PROFIT MAXIMISATION DOES NOT PRODUCE ENDURING SUCCESS. THE MOST SUCCESSFUL BUSINESSES MAXIMISE LONG-TERM "PURPOSE"
BEYOND THE MARKET AND THE STATE THERE IS SOCIETY. BUT BECAUSE GOVERNMENTS MEASURE THE WRONG THINGS, POLICY IS FOCUSED ON THE WRONG THINGS
THE DISMAL STATE OF THE DISMAL SCIENCE: ADAM SMITH WOULD NOT RECOGNISE WHAT A MORALLY SHRIVELLED DISCIPLINE ECONOMICS HAS BECOME
From the Legatum Institute's #ProsperityForAll report
CAPITALISM HAS PRODUCED A $600 BILLION GLOBAL MARKETING MACHINE BUT IT HAS COMPLETELY FAILED TO SELL ITS ENORMOUS ACHIEVEMENTS
1. CRASH! BANG! FIZZLE. THE ANTI-CAPITALISTS FAILED TO OVERTHROW FREE ENTERPRISE AFTER THE CRASH BUT CAPITALISM REMAINS IN NEED OF REFORM
Business leaders must be citizens as well as profit-maximisers
