This is Mark Shupe on the Second Episode of Season 2 of the Moneyball Method Podcast. Today’s episode recorded on this Labor Day in 2026 is called “Capitalism — A Defence of Individual Rights” and continues the topic of Ordinary Abundance and the inventions that have suffused our lives with ease and productivity .
It is impossible to quantify the time and material luxuries we enjoy in the 21st century because of economic power replacing political power, because of political liberty replacing feudalism, because of capitalism replacing tribal cultures as a driving force.
The inspiration for this series is this wonderful website. I would urge you to check it out for yourself and marvel at the extraordinary ordinary abundance of modern life.

Editor’s Note: The Team here at Moneyball Method would like to wish Mark Shupe a Happy 70th Birthday! He’s a Jolly Good Fellow! And so say all of us!
