Your podcast observation that schools are not teaching free market capitalism is of course correct. We have ended up with many SJW CEO's. CEO's you apparently identify as miseducated "capitalists" unable to defend capitalism. I wouldn't call them capitalists but I agree they are not able to defendBrian Ericksonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10188778202762603278noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3758330678390419129.post-73545406234701755562021-05-05T09:17:58.602-04:002021-05-05T09:17:58.602-04:00"So the point of the podcast wasn't Why C..."So the point of the podcast wasn't Why Capitalists Won't Save Capitalism"?<br /><br />I really have no idea how you can reach that conclusion.

The reality is that attacking free markets or capitalism leads to a lower standard of living for many but not all. Some can and have gained wealth and power in their lifetime by attacking capitalism. My point is you need more than capitalism if you are going to rallyBrian Ericksonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10188778202762603278noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3758330678390419129.post-26767747210992408172021-05-04T23:51:28.264-04:002021-05-04T23:51:28.264-04:00The better they understand capitalism?

A capitalist is by definition a supporter of capitalism. A better title might be: Why Businessmen Will Never Save Capitalism. I agree it is an important topic. Your example of a basketball player was a bit strained. The athletic talents that help to make them good players (eyesight, leg strength, etc.) while important is not the same as Brian Ericksonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10188778202762603278noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3758330678390419129.post-25075995775445087802021-05-03T21:13:04.272-04:002021-05-03T21:13:04.272-04:00Not anything close to what I said in the podcast.Not anything close to what I said in the podcast.Robert Wenzelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14296920597416905488noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3758330678390419129.post-88471625532396247712021-05-03T20:18:44.834-04:002021-05-03T20:18:44.834-04:00Short version: Because globalist corporations are ...Short version: Because globalist corporations are not capitalists.Jake Tylerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12277485634777919180noreply@blogger.com
