Weekly conversations with political insiders exploring free market economics and Britain’s path to prosperity.

The Capitalist is a weekly podcast taking a clear-eyed look at the economic ideas shaping Britain and the wider world, viewed firmly through a free market lens. Produced by CapX in partnership with the Centre for Policy Studies, the programme combines policy seriousness with conversational ease. Presented by CapX editor Marc Sidwell, it offers thoughtful discussion rooted in real-world economics rather than abstract theory.

The guest list reflects its ambition. Past episodes have featured figures such as former chancellor Jeremy Hunt, former foreign secretary Malcolm Rifkind, and the late former chancellor Nigel Lawson. Together, these conversations examine markets, growth, and the role of government with clarity and candour, making The Capitalist a considered forum for economic debate in an increasingly noisy landscape.
