Kevin Hohe reconnects with Matthew Mascoli to unpack one of the most complex questions of modern life: whether capitalism liberates us or quietly enslaves us. What begins as a follow-up to an earlier manifesto discussion unfolds into a candid, philosophical debate about meaning, morality, and the systems we’ve built to sustain our lives.Matthew argues that capitalism has evolved beyond a mere economic model into a self-sustaining machine, one that prioritises efficiency over humanity and turns even its top earners into servants of capital. Kevin pushes back, exploring whether the problem lies not in markets themselves but in how we’ve surrendered moral agency to them. Together they dissect the roots of free-market ideology, the myths of meritocracy, and the uneasy tension between freedom, comfort, and conscience.In this episode• The difference between markets and capitalism• Why efficiency isn’t always good for people• How globalisation reshaped power, work, and worth• What it means to “opt out” of the capitalist system• The role of faith and morality in reimagining economicsStay connected:Kevin Hohe | LinkedInAnd let us know what you think with our feedback form.Produced by Pineapple Audio Production.
