But this is what the Daily Objectivist has to say about Reisman's stupendous
treatise - Capitalism...

"A leading part of its trenchant economic analysis is a consistent
demonstration of the natural harmony of the rational self-interests of all
men under capitalism—of businessmen and wage earners, of consumers and
producers, of men of all races and nationalities, including immigrants and
the native born, and of competitors of all levels of ability—consonances
most will find astonishing, given the prevailing misunderstandings of
capitalism in the late twentieth century.... Simply put, Capitalism: A
Treatise on Economics is the philosophically and intellectually strongest
book in the defense of laissez-faire capitalism that can be found anywhere
in the world at the present time."

Praise the Lord for it's a miracle - 'the natural harmony of... rational
self-interest' (and we're even including 'immigrants').

Hey Mumps, does your Church of the Free claim the freedom of the property's
as being of the same order as the freedom of the 'owners' of the 'natural'
monopolies, or are freedom, wealth and power all mutually exclusive
categories? And sure, while that's an easy one for you, how about stacking
the old doctrine up against the questions that were put to you earlier?

Yours in Faith.
