by Louis O. Kelso (Author), Mortimer J. Adler (Author)
The Capitalist Manifesto by Louis O. Kelso is a comprehensive guide to the principles of capitalism and how they can be applied to create a more just and equitable society. Drawing on his extensive experience as a lawyer, economist, and social philosopher, Kelso argues that capitalism is the only economic system that can provide widespread prosperity and opportunity for all.The book begins by examining the basic principles of capitalism, including private property, free markets, and the profit motive. Kelso then explores how these principles can be used to create a more democratic and participatory economy, where workers have a stake in the ownership and management of their workplaces.Throughout the book, Kelso emphasizes the importance of broad-based ownership and access to capital as a means of promoting economic democracy and reducing inequality. He also offers practical solutions for implementing these ideas, including the creation of employee stock ownership plans (ESOPs) and other forms of worker ownership.Overall, The Capitalist Manifesto is a thought-provoking and insightful exploration of the potential of capitalism to create a more just and equitable society. It is a must-read for anyone interested in economics, politics, or social justice.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
