Capitalism Unconquered

Out on the road promoting his new book No You Can't, John Stossel dropped by my old stomping grounds over at Florida State University. Stossel got together with Dr. James Gwartney, one of my former professors and director of Economic Education at Florida State University.

In the discussion, Stossel engages FSU Economics Professors Dr. Gwartney and Joe Calhoun who argue government can’t create jobs. Opportunity costs, the broken window fallacy and incentives are among the topics visited during the discussion.  Take a listen:


Students from the Economics Department also joined in the discussion, and it is great to know that sound economic theory, centering upon economic freedom, continues to be the centerpiece of the educational environment over at the Bellamy Building.

Free market capitalism remains the best path to prosperity, at Florida State, throughout the fruited plain and across the globe. If only our government recognized this truth.
