Free Market Humanitarianism: A Primer
How does one make the world better?
Bryan Cheang shows that beyond charity, volunteerism, and philanthropy,
lasting impact can only be made in society through institutional and policy changes. That is why think tanks and intellectual advocates matter—because ideas change the world.
Yet, the ideas that truly provide prosperity and welfare for the
masses are already for the taking. They are none other than the
principles of individual self-responsibility, limited government & the rule of law, free exchange & choice, and permissionless innovation, which have laid the foundations of the modern world.
Cheang builds on the intellectual legacy of Adam Smith and provides
a contemporary blueprint for youths to navigate the issues close to their social justice, environmentalism, inequality, and third world poverty. With ample research, Cheang fearlessly but dispassionately exposes the errors of the left and right and shows how market capitalism is not simply an apology for the 1%, but is humane, progressive, and just.
This manifesto finds its power in being an accessible introduction to
politics, philosophy, and economics for a generation that has been
deprived of political and economic literacy. This is Free Market
Humanitarianism.
