Altruism, Capitalism, and the True Self-Interest

This chapter critically examines the relationship between altruism and capitalism, advocating for the significance of individual choice and personal values in the marketplace. It contrasts true altruism, which involves self-sacrifice, with rational self-interest grounded in value-seeking behaviors. The discussion highlights the importance of reason and morality derived from human experiences, arguing for a moral framework that promotes personal fulfillment and ethical decision-making.
