On the Morality of Capitalism

Posted by Caleb O. Brown

Capitalism deserves a moral defense, but even those who appreciate the moral superiority of capitalism sometimes find themselves ill-equipped to offer a clear response to critics.

A new book from the Atlas Economic Research Foundation, Students for Liberty and the John Templeton Foundation aims to provide just that intellectual ammunition. The Morality of Capitalism, edited by Cato Senior Fellow Tom G. Palmer, gathers a diverse group of scholars, writers and business leaders from across the globe to extoll the virtues of capitalism.

I recorded a quick podcast (Subscribe!) with Tom about the book and its authors.
