Today’s podcast is the Preface to The Capitalist Manifesto: Revolutionizing Democracy and Economy by Mortimer J. Adler and Louis O. Kelso.
Mortimer J. Adler wrote this preface to The Capitalist Manifesto, co-authored with Louis Kelso. Adler disclaimed credit for the underlying capitalist theory, attributing it to Kelso's extensive research. He elucidated the inseparable link between political democracy and economic freedom and equality.
Reflecting on historical critiques of 19th-century capitalism, Adler distinguished between the flawed implementations of capitalism and its ideal form, which, per Kelso's theory, supports a truly democratic society. He advocated for a capitalist revolution focused on economic democracy, positioning it as a superior alternative to socialism and communism, ensuring liberty, equality, and a good human life for all.
