Does Capitalism Have a Conscience?

Ethical and effective vs. self-centered and amoral?

Some argue that capitalism is an ethical and effective system that encourages creative collaboration in problem-solving. Others argue that it's a self-centered and amoral system that puts power into one central place, exhausts resources, and exploits the vulnerable. 


Eric Holsapple, Dayn Broder, and Lanny Goodman join host Matt Lehrman for a courageous conversation on the virtues and flaws of capitalism. (TMM Podcast, Season 2/Episode 2)

Former Mayor Ginny Dickey of Fountain Hills, Arizona, gives an unflinching account of how local politics took a dark turn. Having lost her 2024 reelection bid, Mayor Dickey reflects on the rise of vicious, unprincipled attacks—tactics that had nothing to do with policy or leadership and everything to do with fueling anger and spreading division.
Mayor Brian Vincent of Farmville, VA is on the Community Catalysts Podcast.

Mayor Brian Vincent of Farmville, VA

It’s common to hear a mayor speak about high ideals or how their town bridges its history with its future. But Mayor Vincent is anything but common. When he talks about “decency, fortitude, and community” in Farmville, you quickly discover the profound influence of his father, a fallen U.S. Army officer. His father’s service and sacrifice embody the power of leading not with force, but with quiet strength and unwavering dedication to others—a painful yet timeless lesson in leadership from which we can all learn.
