The newest course on Peterson Academy, Dr. @yaronbrook's nine-hour course: The Nature of Capitalism is available now.
In this course, Dr. Brook explores the origins, mechanisms, and morality of capitalism, tracing its roots in Enlightenment ideas and its transformative impact on human prosperity. The lectures examine the historical shift from pre-capitalist poverty to modern wealth, the role of economic freedom in driving innovation and growth, and common objections to capitalism.
Dr. Brook concludes the course by exploring the philosophical roots of the opposition to capitalism, and emphasizes the compatibility of rational self-interest with a flourishing society.
