Morality of Capitalism | Yaron Lectures | Live From Bratislava
Channel: Yaron Brook
Date: 2023-02-22

The world is moving away from Capitalism, not from lack of understanding of economics, but because the conventional morality regards it as evil. Yaron debunks that by showing that selfishness is not lying, stealing, cheating, etc., but using your reason to figure out the best life for yourself and interacting with others in mutually beneficial win-win relationships.
