In Defense of Global Capitalism

Reason: Poor Man’s Hero: Controversial writer Johan Norberg champions globalization as the best hope for the developing world.

A fantastic and insightful interview with a guy I’ve never heard of before. He’s brilliant, though, and I know this because he clearly and succinctly articulates the ideas I most wish I could easily convey to people. Of special interest — his assertions that sweatshops are a necessary step to a post-industrial society and that achieving said post-industrial state is necessary before environmentalism can take hold at a global level. I agree wholeheartedly with his ideas about the spread of feminism and Western culture in general as well. I may just have to buy this man’s book.
