Our guest today is John G. Taft, the former CEO of RBC Wealth Management – U.S., one of the leading full-service retail brokerage firms in the U.S. with almost 1,900 advisors and $280 billion in assets under administration. Under his leadership, RBC earned two JD Power investor satisfaction awards and a reputation for responsible stewardship in managing clients’ wealth. John’s background coupled with his enthusiasm for capitalism has led him to write a compelling new book, “A Force For Good: How Enlightened Finance Can Restore Faith in Capitalism.” On this episode you’ll hear how John came to write the book and why he believes that innovative, responsible capitalism is the best solution for the economic ills of the country and the world.

On this inaugural episode of the Capitalism.com podcast you’re going to hear from the site’s founder, Ryan Daniel Moran. Ryan’s journey to the place in his life where he is willing to speak up in favor of a stronger capitalism in the United States and the world in general is one that didn’t come easily. Through building his own business and seeing the way that big government not only steps on the toes of entrepreneurs but also makes it harder for them to succeed, Ryan came to see that in order for individuals to be free to pursue their dreams and build a better life for themselves, the government needs to get out of the way. This episode reveals both Ryan’s journey and his passion for promoting and establishing a stronger capitalism.
