Part 7/8:
Brook extends the discussion to social issues, such as racial discrimination, highlighting that while government-imposed segregation exists, the profit motive in a capitalist system worked against such practices. He asserts that private businesses would intrinsically benefit from allowing equal access to all demographics, therefore, reducing the prevalence of socially harmful discrimination.
Additionally, he draws attention to the fact that the self-interested motivations that drive entrepreneurial endeavors also manifest in personal relationships. By loving someone for one’s own happiness, individuals contribute positively to both their lives and those of the people they cherish, thus encapsulating the virtue of rational self-interest.
