THE INDIVIDUAL CAPITALISM LIBRARY

Freedom begins with the individual.

Ideas about self-ownership, productive purpose, voluntary exchange, property, markets, responsibility, political freedom, and the life you build with them.

Capitalism starts with you.

Before there is a corporation, a stock market, or a national economy, there is an individual who thinks, chooses, works, creates, owns, trades, risks, saves, and pursues a purpose.

Individual Capitalism develops the moral and practical case for protecting that person’s freedom.
