The Capitalist Manifesto:
The Historic, Economic and Philosophic Case for Laissez-Faire

By Andrew Bernstein

The Capitalist Manifesto

The Capitalist Manifesto defends capitalism as the world’s most moral and practical social system. This book is written for the rational mind, whether the reader is a professional intellectual or an intelligent layman. It makes the case for individual rights and freedom in terms intelligible to all rational men.

“The key to explaining capitalism’s unparalleled economic success is dual: to show that it alone is the system that guarantees individual liberties, and to demonstrate that political liberty is an indispensable requirement of man’s life on earth.” —Andrew Bernstein
