M. Northrup Buechner Objective Economics: Ayn Rand's philosophy changes everything about economics

Quote from M. Northrup Buechner, Objective Economics: Ayn Rand’s philosophy changes everything about economics

The justification of capitalism is not that the economy grows faster than it grows under any other system … not that the goods pour forth.

That is the human mode of survival; that is what man’s nature requires of him if he is to live on earth. The abundance of a capitalist economy is a consequence of its coherence with man’s rational nature.
