The Capitalist Corner
Where Reason Meets Reality
Join us for uncompromising analysis of today's current events through the lens of Objectivism. We cut through the noise, reject collectivist dogma, and champion individual liberty, rational self-interest, and laissez-faire capitalism.
About the Show.
We take a look at what's happening in politics, economics, culture, and current events through the lens of reason and individual liberty. Drawing from Ayn Rand's ideas about rational thinking and free markets, we try to cut through the noise and talk about what's actually going on.
What you'll get: Whether it's government overreach, economic policy, or the latest cultural controversy, we'll break down what we think is really driving these issues. No fluff, no partisan talking points - just our take on how things actually work.

Your Hosts.
The Capitalist Corner is hosted by Michael Liebowitz and Mark Pellegrino - two guys who believe in reason, individual liberty, and free markets.
We're here to talk through the news and current events without the usual political theater - just straight analysis based on what we think actually works in the real world.

Michael Liebowitz is a published author and dedicated prison reform advocate, Michael brings a unique perspective shaped by his 25 years of incarceration. As host of The Rational Egoist, he champions rational debate and challenges statism, drawing inspiration from classical liberal thinkers like Mises, Hayek, and Hazlitt. Michael is a staunch defender of open borders, free speech, and individual choice, consistently advocating for principles grounded in reason and reality.
Mark Pellegrino, best known for his roles in Supernatural, Lost, and The Tomorrow People, Mark is an actor and a fierce advocate for individualism. A rebel with a cause, he dissects political motivations and cultural trends with unflinching logic, exposing the dangers of irrational ideologies. His commitment to Objectivism fuels his mission to promote liberty and reject collectivist dogma.

Capitalist Thought of the Week
A free world is a benevolent world. The trader principle - where we exchange to mutual benefit - creates a beneficent world. But a world where regulations and controls are applied preemptively treats human beings as sinners from the start, not as rational agents or moral agents or free agents in their own lives, but as people who are automatically bad and must be controlled because left to their own devices, they will do bad things. This is a horrible orientation towards humanity that leads to horrible repercussions.
A capitalist society is a free one that allows people the dignity of moral free agency. You are the captain of your destiny to the extent that you can control it. You are the rational actor in your life, and you act for your own values, not for the values that some distant bureaucrat thinks are more important than yours. A free world is simply a better world.
