The Capitalist Manifesto 2023
The Capitalist Manifesto: Why the Global Free Market Will Save the World is a 2023 publication by Swedish author and senior Cato Institute fellow Johan Norberg. In an interview with Nick Gillespie, Norberg explained that he wrote the book to counter rising belief on both the right and the left that libertarian principles such as individual autonomy, property rights, limited government, and free enterprise are failing to improve living standards. He argues these values should be abandoned in favor of centralized control over nearly all aspects of life.
The work seeks to demonstrate that human life globally is improving for most people when measured against historical periods, attributing much of this progress to free market and capitalist systems.
This book serves as an intellectual follow-up to Norberg’s earlier work In Defense of Global Capitalism, published 22 years prior in 2001. That title became an international bestseller and was translated into over 25 languages.
