@110 Tim Wilkinson—Starting
from your last sentence. The great French historian, Fernand Braudel, in his
magnum opus Civilization and Capitalism
delineates the moving Centres of the World-Economy, i.e., Capitalism, initially
from Venice, to Genoa, to Antwerp, to Amsterdam, to London and finally to New
York. The propelling force of this movement was the ceaseless ever increasing and
greater rolling achievements of these metropolises that were at the centre of
capitalist development during which its long duration led, for the first time
in history, to the improvement of “the lot of humanity” by raising in leaps and
bounds its standard of living. The fact that America replaced Britain as the
centre of capitalist dynamism was the ne
plus ultra achievement of the United States. Are you a human metamorphosed
into an ostrich that refuses to see these facts?
To associate Schumpetarian entrepreneurship
with spoliation and plunder is to disassociate from serious intellectual
discourse. Plunder is the vocation of
pirates not of creative entrepreneurs!
