Is capitalism really the key to human freedom—or just a clever illusion? In this episode of American Socrates, we challenge the myth that capitalism guarantees liberty. From sweatshops to Silicon Valley, we explore how freedom is distributed unequally in a class-based society. Drawing on global case studies and political theory, we ask: who really benefits from capitalist freedom—and who pays the price?
