Добри ценности, добри действия, добър характер. Да бъдеш добър, е най-смелото нещо в един циничен свят. Отчаянието е избор. Цинизмът е оправдание. Нито едно от двете не създава един по-добър свят. В тази книга Райън Холидей разказва не за онези, които са се отчаяли, когато са се сблъскали с трудности.

В Прави каквото трябва авторът на Твоето его е врагът пише за хора, които са постъпили правилно, независимо от цената, и благодарение на които днес живеем в един по-добър свят.

Книгата не е антикапиталистически манифест. Критичното отношение към идеологията на свободния пазар не означава отхвърляне на капитализма. Въпреки неговите проблеми и вътрешни ограничения вярвам, че това е най-добрата икономическа система, която човечеството е изобретило до този момент. Аз критикувам една конкретна разновидност на капитализма, която доминира през последните три десетилетия, а именно капитализма, основан на свободния пазар. Това не е единствената форма на капитализъм и със сигурност не е най-добрата както показват въпросните три последни десетилетия. Тук бих искал да демонстрирам, че има начини ... |
