Libertad y desempeño económico

Freedom and economic performance

Javier Mejia

MPRA Paper from University Library of Munich, Germany

Abstract: From a broad philosophical framework, this paper addresses the relation between freedom and economic performance. It argues for the thesis that, although a liberal system does not guarantee absolute harmony, is the only "convenient" and morally valid for a modern society. The core of this argument is the acceptance of the permanent uncertainty about the great results of the world and the inability of a central entity to control them.
