Is Capitalism or Socialism the Moral System? October 13, 2011

For our first October meeting Phoenix Objectivists will listen to a pre-recorded lecture entitled: "Is Capitalism or Socialism the Moral System?"

This unusual debate pits John Ridpath, Associate Professor of Economics at York University against Ontario, Canada Premier Bob Rae just 6 months before he won office.

It is particularly instructive to contrast Dr. Ridpath's presentation of the principles of morality, with Mr. Rae's emotionalist defense of the welfare state on the grounds of "what could be more moral than the institutionalization of love?"

Running time for the debate is 2 hours. After we conclude listening to it, we will discuss the points brought up. Please join us for a fascinating evening.
