Northern capitalists of the 19th century—in addition to creating life-serving products and technologies—joined and financed America’s abolitionist movement, while southern planters preached that slavery was “the beau ideal of Communism.” Yet, today, cultural commentators—most notably, contributors to The New York Times 1619 Project—argue that the remnants of capitalism left in our mixed economy are the residue of slavery in America. With the help of Phil Magness, senior research fellow at the American Institute for Economic Research and author of The 1619 Project: A Critique, we investigate some of these claims and how they’re impacting freedom and flourishing.
