Trump is the epitome of deviation from liberalism I will definitely debate with Soros if... | Imported models of development do not help Iran.
Dr. Musa Ghanijad in a detailed interview with Akhtaznews:
The current crises and protests in the West are not the result of the failure of capitalism, but the result of the prevalence of anti-liberal policies, utilitarianism and the expansion of government interventions. In today's world, positive socialism has failed, but leftist currents, taking refuge in postmodern relativism and identity politics, continue to fight against the principles of free economics.
The current American system does not belong to classical liberalism; By imposing tariffs, sanctions and a populist approach, Donald Trump is the epitome of deviation from the idea of freedom and a threat to humanity. Economic freedom is the basic principle and should not be sacrificed to utilitarianism; Differentiation of incomes is a natural consequence of differences in people's motivations and entrepreneurial talents.
To achieve development in Iran, one should not go for imported models; The country's ancient culture finds its way by removing the obstacles to freedom. The first practical steps are the dismantling of the support organization, the complete abolition of mandate pricing and the liberalization of bank interest rates so that prices can be controlled as the production incentive grows.
Development and political freedom without the realization of independence and economic freedom are nothing more than a mirage. The financial dependence of the press and parties on government subsidies and rent prevents the formation of real criticism. Any stream that cannot understand the basics of the free economy will also fail in building civil society and democracy.
One of those who stand at the head of the defenders of the religious intellectuals; It is Hajj Parjula Dabagh (Soroush) that I clearly say that he does not know Islam nor what Popper said he defends Popper, nor does he know political philosophy that he criticizes Heidegger's political philosophy. I am ready to argue with Mr. Haj Farjola and tell him face to face that you do not know any of these things.
The period of reforms, that is the era of Mr. Khatami, intellectuals including Mr. Hajarian and his friends talked about civil society and political freedom and said that political development precedes economic development; But at the same time I said that this opinion is wrong; Because political freedom is not attainable without economic freedom.
