Maurice Newman: Values Based Capitalism

SUMMARY:
------------------------------
I was genuinely excited to share Maurice Newman’s talk on values-based capitalism — a passionate defence of freedom, small business and the idea that markets must serve people, not just profit. Maurice praises the organisers and sets the scene with alarming poll results showing growing disenchantment with politics and falling trust in democracy, especially among young Australians. He argues that while big firms and big government often win from increased regulation and compliance costs, small and medium enterprises (SMEs) pick up the tab: higher labour and compliance costs, reduced competitiveness and fewer pathways to social mobility. Maurice calls for a recommitment to civil liberties, freedom of thought and a genuine market system that rewards effort and innovation. He warns about the collusion between corporate giants and government, the dangers of ideological media capture, and how policy can create perverse incentives that entrench incumbents. Energetic, frank and unapologetic, this talk is a rallying cry for anyone who cares about entrepreneurship, democracy and preserving the freedoms that make social mobility possible. If you care about the future of Australian business and liberty, this one’s for you.

RUMBLE DESCRIPTION:
-----------------------------------
Loved being at this event and hearing Maurice Newman lay out a clear, heartfelt case for values-based capitalism. In this talk Maurice congratulates the organisers and then gets right into it — sharing worrying poll results that show a major drop in trust in politicians and satisfaction with democracy, particularly among younger Australians. He points out a harsh reality: modern regulation and compliance often favour big business and big government, while small and medium enterprises are left to absorb the costs. That hits jobs, innovation and social mobility.

Maurice makes a strong argument that defending civil liberties, freedom of thought and the market’s ability to reward effort is essential for long-term economic and social health. He warns about ideological capture of media, a cosy relationship between regulators and large corporations, and how perverse incentives entrench incumbents while punishing smaller operators. The talk explores how these trends damage productivity and the fabric of our communities.
