Názov/Title: Globalizace

Oblasť/ Subject: Ekonomie

Rok vydania, vydavateľ/Published in & by: 2006, Alpha Publishing a Liberální institut, Praha

Abstrakt/Abstract: Prosperity lze dosáhnout jen díky integraci do světových trhů, založené na volném pohybu zboží, služeb a výrobních faktorů. Dnes tento proces označujeme novým termínem globalizace, avšak o nic nového se nejedná. Stejná a v mnohých aspektech ještě intenzivnější globalizace probíhala i ve druhé polovině 19. století. Stejně jako dříve i dnes platí, že pokud jsou lidé odkázáni jen na to, co si sami vymyslí a vyrobí, budou bojovat o holé přežití.

Kniha Johana Norberga, která se dočkává i českého překladu, je pečlivě vytvořeným souborem argumentů, které uvedou tezi dokládají. Nesklouzává k ideologickým argumentům, ale na jasných empirických datech dokládá to, co si ekonomové od zrodu své discipliny myslí, totiž že totiž dělba práce a směna jsou zdrojem bohatství a že kladení umělých překážek rozvoji dobrovolných lidských aktivit bohatství naopak ničí.

Názov/Title: The welfare state destroys the welfare and the state

Oblasť/ Subject: Social Policy

Rok vydania, vydavateľ/Published in & by: 2006, Liberales Institut, Zürich

Abstrakt/Abstract: The main weakness of the welfare is not that it is becoming steadily unaffordable, but that it is sawing off the social branch it sits on. A society in which people lose the volition and motivation to spontaneously assist and help each other is doomed, even if its economic productivity still suffices to maintain and even expand its flawed structures. Social behaviour evolves from generation to generation in slow, civilisational learning processes. This evolvement might not be able to keep up with the pace of decay. The decisive bottleneck is not in the financing, it is in the human soul.
