Capitalism& Markets

An excellent article/interview in WSJ today on Professor Gary Becker. He is considered the co-father , along with Milton Friedman of the Chicago School of Economics (at the U of Chicago). In a week where many have been dour and sanguine about the future , Becker is more upbeat. About midway in the article a paragraph that starts "Capitalism has produced..." is the essence of his philosophy.
