The Capitalist Manifesto

Johan Norberg

Johan Norberg's "The Capitalist Manifesto" is a blunt and passionate defense of capitalism, arguing that it is the most effective system for promoting global wealth, innovation, and human development. The book is framed as a response to both populist critiques and widespread narratives that blame capitalism for many of the world's contemporary problems, including inequality, climate change, and political unrest. Norberg draws inspiration from Karl Marx and Friedrich Engels, who famously noted in “The Communist Manifesto” that capitalism had produced more wealth and innovation in a short time than all previous generations combined.
