When I conceived of the “free market Monday” tag, this recent Reuven Brenner article in Forbes is what I had in mind. Brenner is one of the great champions of the idea that access to capital and fluid capital markets are prime drivers of capitalist economies. In this piece, he talks about the importance of risk capital in revitalizing the North American economic outlook.
I also recommend Brenner’s Force of Finance for anyone looking for a modern day capitalist manifesto. You can get a good taste of Brenner in his review of Invention of Enterprise.
