Welcome to the inaugural issue of the Defenders of Capitalism newsletter. Each quarter, we’ll examine economics, culture, and history through a simple but often neglected lens: the human mind as the source of value and prosperity. Our goal is not to shout or persuade by volume, but to clarify—to examine the world as it is and defend the ideas that make flourishing possible.
