Mike Williams’ CAPITAL IDEA™ podcast series explores the economic, historical, empirical, and moral case for laissez faire capitalism. CAPITAL IDEA is an intelligent, sometimes capricious, often irreverent discussion for honest people of all political persuasions who want to better understand the only moral economic system.
Let’s face it, our day-to-day activity IS economics—they call it microeconomics but where’s the connection to the broader issues? CAPITAL IDEA is here to help you chew on these ideas including how YOUR economy relates to the bigger picture.
Flying solo, Mike Williams integrates his experience both as a capitalist and as a teacher/facilitator of the Defenders of Capitalism Project™. Mike’s frequent guests add insight and perspective as they probe diverse topics—with a common thread: ideas that will broaden your understanding of why defending, sustaining, and advancing capitalism are crucial to the survivability of freedom and human flourishing in America and the world.

What does civic engagement have to do with capitalism? More than most people think. In this episode, Mike Williams interviews Sue Moore of Liberty Scorecard Colorado about why free markets depend on informed citizens, accountable lawmakers, and a culture that takes liberty seriously. They also explore a tougher question: are people on the Right as consistent about free markets and individual rights as they claim?
Liberty Scorecard Colorado is a volunteer-run, principles-based tracking system that evaluates legislation and lawmakers by how they affect individual rights, limited government, property rights, and free markets.
The episode explains the scorecard’s methodology, how volunteers analyze bills, its role in educating legislators and citizens, and why consistent oversight matters to protect liberty and hold public officials accountable.
