George Reisman er økonomiprofessor og forfatter til hovedværket Capitalism - A complete and integrated understanding of the nature and value of human economic life. George Reismans bog "Capitalism" samt hans artikler er ved adskillige lejligheder blevet fremhævet på www.coin.dk, og ved flere lejligheder i dagspressen. Reismans forfatterskab er kendetegnet ved en klarhed og konsistens, som man skal lede længe efter at finde noget tilsvarende til. Med relevans for Copenhagen Institutes arbejde har Reisman blandt andet skrevet om de økonomiske konsekvenser forbundet med miljøpolitikken, men også om det filosofiske og ideologiske afsæt, som er styrende for miljøbevægelsens arbejde, og som Reisman forholder sig særdeles kritisk til. På samme vis har George Reisman skrevet artikler, som fra Copenhagen Institutes side er blevet brugt til at præcisere det skadelige ved EU's og de europæiske staters aktuelle konkurrencepolitik, som er en konsekvens af den dominerende konkurrence- og monopolteori. George Reisman er født i 1937 og studerede fra en tidlig alder under en af verdens måske største økonomer, Ludwig von Mises. Han nød også personlig tilknytning til filosoffen og forfatteren, Ayn Rand. Begge disse tænkere har netop været centrale for George Reismans arbejde, som jævnfør indledningen integrerer økonomi med de øvrige samfundsvidenskaber. Dette er ligeledes tilfældet med Ludwig von Mises' og Ayn Rands arbejde. Om konkurrencepolitik: Platonic Competition, Part I Platonic Competition, Part II Om konsekvenser af statens intervention i markedsøkonomien og af det offentlige forbrug: How Government Budget Deficits Reduce Wages and Raise Profits Production Versus Consumption Om intervention på arbejdsmarkedet: The State Against Economic Law: the Case of Minimum Wage Legislation Om privat versus offentlig videnskab: Free-Market Science vs. Government Science Om sammenhængen mellem miljø, politik og økonomi: Mining for the Next Million Years The Toxicity of Environmentalism Environmentalism in the Light of Menger and Mises Standards of Environmental Good and Evil: Why Environmentalism Is Misanthropic Collectivism, Climate Change, and Economic Freedom How Environmentalism Raises Profits at the Expense of Wages Global Warming Is Not a Threat but the Environmentalist Response to It Is Intertwined Insanities The Green Business Racket: Con Customers, Cut Corners, Boost Profits Flere artikler kan findes via: George Reismans hjemmeside George Reisman på det gratis leksikon Wikipedia George Reisman citater: If the world’s intellectuals had been open to the possibility that they had been wrong about the nature of capitalism and socialism — profoundly, devastatingly wrong — and taken the trouble to read and understand the works of von Mises in order to learn how and why they had been wrong, socialism would have died once and for all with the Soviet Union, and the whole world would now be moving toward laissez-faire capitalism and unprecedented economic progress and prosperity. Instead, the intellectuals have chosen to foist the doctrine of environmentalism on the world, as a last-ditch effort to destroy capitalism and save socialism... Environmentalism in the Light of Menger and Mises It is principally owing to the great popular success of the writings of Ayn Rand and the growing influence of the works of Ludwig von Mises that there already exists a significant and growing number of potential recruits for the procapitalist political movement that I envision. The further spread of the ideas of these two historic figures is the only possible basis for the further growth and ultimate success of the procapitalist cause... TOWARD THE ESTABLISHMENT OF LAISSEZ-FAIRE CAPITALISM Every supporter of capitalism should take heart. All across the world, socialism is now in visible retreat and outright collapse. Its supporters are in a state of intellectual disintegration, turning en masse against science, technology, and reason, as they magnify the evidence of their own intellectual incompetence into a distrust of the human intellect as such. Having for generations pompously proclaimed the possibility of their rationally planning every detail of human life--at the point of a gun and at the price of everyone else's planning and self-interest--and somehow thereby achieving a utopia, they now begin to see the devastation they have caused, and, their dream in ruins, they sink to the level of superstitious primitives, living in fear of the intellect and of its products science and technology. In a word, they have become "environmentalists." Safety to them now appears to lie in whatever is not man-made--in whatever is "natural," viz., tested by millions of years of blind evolution... TOWARD THE ESTABLISHMENT OF LAISSEZ-FAIRE CAPITALISM Mises is important because his teachings are necessary to the preservation of material civilization. As he showed, the base of material civilization is the division of labor. Without the higher productivity of labor made possible by the division of labor, the great majority of mankind would simply die of starvation. The existence and successful functioning of the division of labor, however, vitally depends on the institutions of a capitalist society — that is, on limited government and economic freedom, private ownership of land and all other property, exchange and money, saving and investment, economic inequality and economic competition, and the profit motive — institutions everywhere under attack for several generations...
