Deirdre McCloskey interviewed

http://econlog.econlib.org/archives/2010/12/farmers_forager.html

“You can measure the shifting significance of bourgeois words: honesty, profit, responsibility, monopoly, etc., by looking in historical dictionaries and historical texts in all the languages of commerce, from 1600 to 1848. “Responsibility,” for example, is entirely modern (and thus measurable: It’s zero before 1800, commonplace afterward). The equivalent word before 1800, as one can see from the Oxford Thesaurus (based on the Oxford English Dictionary), is “duty.” In a hierarchical society, one has one’s duty to one’s master, period. In a modern and bourgeois society, the duty is turned inward and becomes a character trait essential for a modern enterprise: responsibility.”

Sheldon Richman on Michael Moore’s Love Story

“When two people barter, are they mutually exploiting each other when each gets more value than he gives up? To consistently oppose profit, one would have to oppose all human action, since every action aims at asurplus of subjective benefit over subjective opportunity cost.”
