How A Pencil PROVES The Free Market Works - Watchdog on Wall Street with Chris Markowski

Chris celebrates the ‘wonderful, miraculous supply chain’ with a passionate reading of Leonard Reed’s 1950s classic, I, Pencil. This humble writing tool becomes a profound symbol of free market genius, weaving a tale of loggers in Oregon, graphite miners in Sri Lanka, lacquer makers, and shipbuilders, whose tiny, uncoordinated know-hows spontaneously craft a pencil no single person could mastermind. Mocking central planners like Xi Jinping, Markowski marvels at the invisible hand’s dance, from cedar trees to brass ferrules, proving freedom, not control, fuels prosperity. A lesson in awe and faith, he argues this beats government meddling, urging us to trust free people over utopian schemes. www.watchdogonwallstreet.com
