trích dẫn hôm nay… is from page 14 of the late, great Julian Simon’s Introduction to his brilliant 1995 edited volume, The State of Humanity:


When considering the state of the environment, we should think first of the terrible pollutions (ô nhiễm khủng khiếp) that were banished (xua đuổi khỏi tâm trí) in the past century or two – the typhoid (bệnh thương hàn) that polluted such rivers as the Hudson, smallpox (bệnh đậu mùa) that humanity has finally pursued to the ends of the earth and just about eradicated (xóa bỏ, trốc tận gốc rễ), the dysentery (bệnh lỵ) that distressed (làm đau buồn, phiền muộn) and killed people all over the world as it still does in India, the plagues (bệnh dịch, tai họa) and other epidemics (bệnh dịch) that trouble us much less than in generations past, or not at all. Not only are we in the rich countries free of malaria (sốt rét) (largely due to our intensive occupation of the land), but even the mosquitoes, that do no more harm than cause itches with their bites, are so absent from many urban areas that people no longer need screens for their home and can have garden parties at dusk. It is a mark of our extraordinary success that these are no longer even thought of as pollutions.

DBx: Yes. Capitalism cleanses our world, and lengthens and enriches our lives. Our environment truly is cleaned by capitalism.

Were we not made so rich by the market order, none of us would enjoy the leisure and luxury to worry about the environment in the manner in which so many people worry about it today.
