Celebrate Capitalism™

Celebrate Capitalism™ confines itself to promoting and encouraging the study of SEVEN specific Thinkers ...

Aristotle (384 BC - 322 BC)

John Locke (1632-1704)

Adam Smith (1723-1790)

Thomas Jefferson (1743 - 1826)
(And the American Founding Fathers)

Frederic Bastiat (1801-1850)

Ludwig Von Mises (1881 - 1973)

Ayn Rand (1905-1982)

Treat them as excellent starting points - not as end points or as the final word.

Treat them as sources of inspiration.

Treat them as navigational guides - mapping out humanity's historic journey towards liberty, reason, and prosperity.

Treat them as sources of some of the key historic arguments that have been advanced in favor of Capitalist Ideals.

Who should study The Big Seven?

Anyone who is serious about liberty needs to get acquainted with - if not excited about - the ideas of these seven intellectual giants.

The campaign not only seeks to encourage the study of The Big Seven across the community. It also encourages such study within the campaign, amongst supporters, volunteers, and project leaders.

Studying the Big Seven does not mean agreement with all Big Seven Thinkers. For one thing that would be impossible as their views disagree across many issues.

Study means: exploring, debating, researching, questioning, doing your own thinking.

To assist this process, we offer free blogs, and a moderated discussion forum.

Furthermore, each of the Big 7 Thinkers has its own dedicated website.

Note: To become a registered CPL (Creative Project Leader) you are required to be favorable to at least one of these seven thinkers.

Important Clarification:

Regarding the Big 7, the campaign encourages and emphasises the study, exploration, discussion, and debating of the ORIGINAL WORKS - the original writings, speeches, etc. (or translations) - of the Big 7. Not so much those works which are ABOUT those original writings.
