Leonard E. Read

Leonard E. Read

Leonard E. Read (1898 - 1983) est un économiste américain, qui a créé la Foundation for Economic Education (FEE) en mars 1946. Il s'agit du premier think tank libertarien aux États-Unis.

En tant que président de la Chambre de commerce de Los Angeles, il a combattu les politiques économiques marxistes et keynésiennes qui prévalaient alors, réfutant les accusations d'appauvrissement des travailleurs par la « bourgeoisie », et rejetant les arguments keynésiens selon lesquels le capitalisme est instable et génère un chômage de masse.

Il est l'auteur de vingt-sept ouvrages. Son texte le plus célèbre est Moi, le crayon (I, pencil), publié en 1958, illustration de la métaphore de la main invisible : des millions de personnes participent à la création d'un simple crayon (division du travail), et aucune ne serait capable de le fabriquer à elle seule.
