S1_E2: Arm Chair Capitalists



In this episode of Ear Seduction we discuss capitalism in all of its glory. I make it a point to differentiate myself from those that I call ‘arm chair capitalists’.  Meaning those that would like to espouse the benefits of free markets and privatization and the ‘invisible hand’, as Adam Smith postulated, but without educating themselves on any of the information we’ve collected regarding the economy since the publishing of Wealth of Nations in 1776. Of which there are many. I touch on the last episode S1_E1: Gay Rights and how my guest from that discussion also has failed to update his education. Mostly, I explain the difference between being a capitalist and being heartless.
