For Professor Bernstein, there are no limits to what man can
achieve. This book unabashedly supports capitalism—the system of
individual rights, private property, and pursuit of profit. Every
businessman who has earned profit, and the millions of customers
who have benefited from business productivity should read this epic
to appreciate capitalism's glorious accomplishments that we take
for granted.

Advisers, Host of Mr. Money Radio and Television Shows*
The Capitalist Manifesto is an immensely provocative work that
should be read from the halls of academia to the streets of the
Middle East. Mr. Bernstein's arguments pack the intellectual
firepower to blast socialism back to the Stone Age. This rich book
is a triumph in the crusade for liberty and individual rights.
*Jonathan Hoenig, Fox News Contributor and Portfolio Manager,
Capitalistpig Hedge Fund LLC*
This monumental work is a tribute to greatness—the exalted men of
the mind who create a world of wealth and prosperity, and the great
social system of liberty and individual rights that liberates a
nation's mind power. Everyone should read this fascinating book for
a clear understanding of capitalism—the system that has doubled our
life span, created vast wealth, and generated even vaster
opportunities.
*Carl B. Barney, Chairman and CEO, CollegeAmerica and Independence
University*
The Capitalist Manifesto is the most sophisticated, the most
philosophical, indeed, the most brilliant defense of capitalism
published in a generation. Bernstein has done what no conservative
or libertarian proponent of capitalism has even dared try: to
defend it on moral grounds. This book will revolutionize American
culture if read by every college student. All in all, a remarkable
achievement.
*C. Bradley Thompson, Ph.D., Professor of History and Political
Science, Ashland University*
Although this book is written for the educated generalist or
layperson and the college student, it should be read by
everyone—especially by journalists and politicians. Hopefully, it
will be adopted as a textbook both here and abroad with foreign
editions and translations. Bernstein’s seminal work is a triumph in
the crusade for freedom and individual rights. We certainly need
more books like this.
*Ed Younkins, Professor of Accountancy, Wheeling Jesuit
University*
In succinctly presenting the historical-economic facts of 19th
century capitalism, Professor Bernstein has performed an act of
profound justice. While ably recounting how capitalism became the
world's most practical social system, he also explains precisely
why this was so: because it was the world's only supremely moral
system.
