  • Summary

  • Mike Williams’ CAPITAL IDEA podcast series explores the economic, historical, empirical, and moral case for laissez faire capitalism. CAPITAL IDEA is an intelligent, sometimes capricious, often irreverent discussion for honest people of all political persuasions who want to better understand the only moral economic system. Let’s face it, our day-to-day activity IS economics—they call it microeconomics but where’s the connection to the broader issues? CAPITAL IDEA is here to help you chew on these ideas including how YOUR economy relates to the bigger picture. Flying solo, Mike Williams integrates his experience both as a capitalist and as a teacher/facilitator of the Defenders of Capitalism Project™. Mike’s frequent guests add insight and perspective as they probe diverse topics—with a common thread: ideas that will broaden your understanding of why defending, sustaining, and advancing capitalism are crucial to the survivability of freedom and human flourishing in America and the world.

    Revisiting Mike's chat with Chris Wright
    Nov 18 2024

    While Defenders of Capitalism are generally skeptical about President-elect Trump’s 2nd term cabinet nominations so far, we are excited about his choice for Energy Secretary: Chris Wright, CEO of Liberty Energy. Wright has a broad understanding of the need for cheap, safe, reliable energy and innovation, as well as the function that free markets play.

    Mike sat down with Chris in a wide ranging conversation in July of 2023 and we’re re-releasing that episode for our listeners after Chris' recent nomination for Energy Secretary. Original Episode: Energy, Liberty, & the Outdoor Industry with Chris Wright

Connecting Current Events to Freedom Through Capitalism

Amazing to hear the actual legislative debates our news sources should be having about our rights and freedoms. This is what a principle based defense of capitalism sounds like.
