Too many people express skepticism about capitalism while enjoying the countless innovations it has produced every day. The smartphones in our pockets, life-saving medicines, online services, modern transportation, and countless other conveniences that make life easier did not appear by accident. They were created by people who had the freedom and incentive to take risks, solve problems, and improve upon existing ideas.

In today’s episode of This Week’s Economy, we’ll take a closer look at innovation and why free markets encourage people to experiment, invest, and develop new technologies that improve our quality of life. We’ll also explore the conditions that enable innovation to flourish and why protecting them is essential if we want future generations to enjoy greater abundance, opportunity, and prosperity.
