DoC class header

The Defenders of Capitalism Project™ is designed to introduce you to and/or deepen your understanding of a radical idea: people should be free to choose how they live, work and play. LPR provides a framework to rediscover and further the principles of America’s Founders. These principles established the framework for a socio-economic system that came closest to Capitalism, which does not exist in practice today. Because these principles, the base of our freedom and prosperity, are constantly under attack, it’s crucial that citizens and leaders understand Capitalism – and learn to champion its intellectual, historical, and moral superiority.
