The Ethical Root of Hatred for Profit with Richard Salsman

Join Atlas Society Senior Scholar and Professor of Political Economy at Duke, Richard Salsman, Ph.D. Thursday, July 18 @ 3 PM / 6 PM ET for a Spaces discussion on recent polls showing a rising disgust and hatred for profit along with the philosophical underpinning behind this trend.

"Polls show that most people distrust and despise profit, while economists insist that 'perfect competition' entails a 'zero profit condition.' Anti-profit bias arises from a distrust of egoism and a belief in the 'zero-sum' premise versus the trader principle." - Richard Salsman
