A Manifesto for Sustainable Capitalism
by Geoff Ficke
I read, then re-read with incredulity Al Gore’s, and his minions, treatise on a new, improved sustainable capitalism (WSJ, Dec 14, 2011 A Manifesto for Sustainable Capitalism). After considering the ponderous, plodding abstractions proferred by this well-know entrenched team of career politicians and professors I was struck by one missing piece of data omitted from this centrally planned theorem: They did not name or cite a single example of any enterprise that is successfully following their enlightened path to sustainable riches. Luddite that I am, I will continue to seek lessons from capitalism from those old dinosaurs Hayek, Friedman and Adam Smith.
