Strong’s argument that entrepreneurship, not politics, is the mechanism by which poverty and environmental harm actually get solved — and that a conscious form of capitalism can be designed to do it deliberately.

Why it’s on the list: The section’s bridge from moral philosophy to practice — the case that the entrepreneur is the moral actor.

Where I saw it: Brendan McCord’s Philosopher-Entrepreneur Reading List, in the section on Capitalism, Morality, and Human Flourishing. It carries the list’s ☑️ mark; the page gives no legend for what the mark means. The full transcription lives on The Philosopher-Entrepreneur Reading List.
