'What is Capitalism?'

 


At the head of this page is the slogan "promoting capitalist acts between consenting adults."

But what are "capitalist acts"?

What is capitalism?

How accurately can you answer that question?

Fortunately, philosopher Stephen Hicks is about to start an online course ['The Capitalism Course' by Dr Stephen Hicks] in which the first lecture asks and answers that very question.

We will look at several influential definitions [he says], and I will argue my way to mine.
When: Wednesday, October 13, 7 p.m. Central Time. [That's Thursday October 14, 1pm NZT.]
Where: MyJunto. Registration is free and open to anyone interested.

While the course has no prerequisites, the expectation for participants is that they will have read or viewed the preparatory material for each session.

To register, go to MyJunto or visit this Facebook announcement page.

We welcome thoughtful disagreement.
But we do (ir)regularly moderate comments -- and we *will* delete any with insulting or abusive language. Or if they're just inane or off topic. It’s okay to disagree, but pretend you’re having a drink in the living room with the person you’re disagreeing with. This includes me.
PS: Have the honesty and courage to use your real name. That gives added weight to any opinion.
