In this archived episode of Policy and Pound Cake #TheBassSisters read from the inaugural speech of James Garfield to talk about capitalism. By celebrating the dignity of humans to own the product of their labor, Garfield cut to the core of capitalism.
Politicians and pundits who say that slavery is capitalist are dead wrong. Capitalism is the ultimate definition of freedom. Because capitalism is freedom, The Bass Sisters make the argument that enslaving Africans held America back morally and economically.
THE MESSAGE MARK IS FAIRNESS: It is fair that people own the fruits of their labor.
