A short economics lecture from Senior Fellow George Gilder, titled “Why Capitalism Works.” In it, Gilder explains the genius of capitalism: that it channels self-interest into altruism. In a free market economy, “Entrepreneurs can only help themselves by helping others.”

Prager University is a fantastic resource that offers short videos on political science, economics, history, religion, and life. Visit www.prageruniversity.com to continue learning.
