🎙️ Capitalism and Communication – with Patrick Carroll

Capitalism and Communication – with Patrick Carroll

What role does communication play in the fight for liberty? In this episode of The Rational Egoist, Michael Liebowitz is joined by libertarian opinion journalist Patrick Carroll to explore the intersection of ideas, persuasion, and individual rights.

Patrick shares insights from his time as Managing Editor at the Foundation for Economic Education (FEE), where he helped shape the message of freedom for a new generation. The conversation dives into the cultural power of storytelling, how to effectively communicate capitalist values, and why reasoned discourse is essential in an age of tribal outrage and ideological noise.

From navigating censorship to challenging economic myths, this episode is a must-listen for anyone who wants to defend liberty—not just in theory, but in practice.
