Quote of the day: Does the free market serve 'self-interest' or 'selfishness?'

"A common mistake is to identify the purposes of people exclusively with their 'self-interest,' which is then in turn confused with 'selfishness.' The purposes of people in the market are indeed purposes of selves, but as selves with purposes we are also concerned about the interests and well being of others -- our family members, our friends, our neighbors, and even total strangers whom we will never meet. Indeed, markets help to condition people to consider the needs of others, including total strangers." --Tom G. Palmer, "The Morality of Capitalism"
