I have just had the privilege of seeing the Acton Institute’s new film, The Call of the Entrepreneur, and I must say it is the best visual expositition of the moral basis of entrepreneurialism and free enterprise I have ever seen.

You can find out more about the film here.

There are currently plans for premiere screenings in Grand Rapids, Honolulu, Washington DC, New York City, Atlanta, Kansas City, and also London, Hong Kong, and Rome.

I urge everyone who can to see it and promote it. By sketching the tales of three men who have taken risks – amazingly big risks in one case – and created not just money but wealth, it underlines the importance of free enterprise to what used to be called the commonwealth.

A warning: you may choke up at some of the human tales it tells. I certainly did. This is no economics lecture, but the true, very human face of free enterprise.
