Why capitalism entails a moral obligation to share your wealth | Ken Lagone
June 17, 2018

Home Depot co-founder Ken Langone advocates for capitalism, asserting it as the optimal economic model. He champions the "rising tide lifts all boats" principle, acknowledging capitalism's downsides but highlighting its capacity to elevate individuals. Langone points to 3,000 Home Depot employees who started in entry-level positions and became millionaires.

Langone co-founded The Home Depot in 1978 with Arthur Blank, Bernard Marcus, Pat Farrah, and Ron Brill. The company has since grown into a multibillion-dollar enterprise. For further details, visit BigThink.com.
