A minoria que vai encolhendo

Uma minoria...
.
Cada vez mais, a minoria a que pertenço, nesta velha Europa, vai encolhendo e perdendo partidários destas ideias:
"Creative destruction is good news. ... This process should be encouraged, even though it’s not pleasant for all parties involved, and even though it leads to job loss and worker dislocation.
.
Markets allocate better than bureaucrats do.
...
There is such a thing as too much regulation.
...
Business is not the enemy.
...
The state can’t provide jobs to everybody.
...
We’re right about these things. Virtually all my colleagues believe that the statements above are no longer open for debate among serious people. Theory, experiment, and especially experience have shown that they’re correct.
.
Davos was a revelation for me because I came across serious, smart, and  influential people who didn’t appear to accept these statements nearly as wholeheartedly as I do. And these people were not from strange or faraway lands (if there were delegations from North Korea or Cuba at the meeting, I didn’t come across them). Instead, they were from Europeans, my first cousins in the global family."
