Klasično liberalni ekonomisti

Koliko su popularni klasično liberalni ekonomisti? Evo jedne priče: (ne znam da li smo već preneli ovo, ako jesmo izvinjavam se).

One day an economist looked up and saw a little girl being attacked by a vicious dog, just down the street. He rushed over and saved the girl by strangling the dog.

A reporter interviews him and says, "Sir, this is a wonderful thing you have done. Did you say you are an economist?"

"Yes, I am," says the economist.

"Very good, sir," says the reporter, "this will be our lead story tomorrow, and the headline will be 'Radical libertarian economist saves little girl from vicious dog.'"

"Well, I'm not that radical," says the economist. "I'm really more of a classical liberal."

The reporter scratches his head and says, "Well, we'll come up with something. Whose views would you say you are closest to?"

"Oh, I suppose it would be Milton Friedman," says the economist.

Next day, the economist buys the paper. Across the front page is splashed: "CHICAGOITE KILLS FAMILY PET!"

Ni ja ne kapiram zašto je moralo da se ubaci ovo "radical libertarian economist", iskomplikovali su bez potrebe. A i kao da su radikalni libertarijanci popularniji od klasičnih liberala!?

Mislim da sam video negde isti vic u jednostavnijoj verziji, gde se prvo zahvale čoveku što je spasao devojčicu od psa, a onda ga pitaju za ime i on im kaže ja sam Milton Friedman. Onda sutra izađe taj naslov, Čikaški ekonomista ubio kućnog mezimca!

Pa pisano je za mises.org pa su radikalni libertarijanci kao gotivniji od utalitarijanaca. Mada stvarno nije mnogo smesno.
