This week’s book was written by our IPO-VID 125 guest & multi-award winning Johan Norberg.
“The Capitalist Manifesto: Why the Global Free Market Will Save the World” is a case for capitalism and the vital role played by the free market in today’s uncertain world. Johan Norberg argues that a move away from global capitalism would not only squeeze the growth out of the economy but also deepen an already large social exclusion for the vulnerable — for the world’s poor, it would be a killing blow.
