For Episode 34 of the Achieving Alpha podcast, host Steven Budgen interviews Johan Norberg who is a Swedish author and historian of ideas, devoted to promoting economic capitalism & globalization and what he describes as classical liberal positions. He is the author of In Defense of Global Capitalism (2001), Progress: Ten Reasons to Look Forward to the Future (2016), and The Capitalist Manifesto: Why the Global Free Market Will Save the World (2023). We focus on 'The Capitalist Manifesto - Makes the Whole World Wealthier'.

Since 15 March 2007, Johan Norberg has been a senior fellow at the Cato Institute, and since January 2017 an executive editor at Free To Choose Media, where he regularly produces documentaries for US public television.

They discuss the unprecedented reduction of extreme poverty globally, the moral foundation of capitalism, and misconceptions about profit-seeking. Johan Norberg shares his insights on historical economic progress, the role of free markets, and current challenges like protectionism and the AI revolution. With references to his background, recent work, and insightful anecdotes, this is a must-watch for anyone interested in economics and global development.
