Ep803: Andrew Stotz – I, Coffee: The Capitalist Miracle Behind Your Morning Cup
I am the cup of coffee warming your hands right now. A simple drink with a story no government could brew. My journey from a cherry on a tree to your morning ritual is a testament to freedom, ambition, and human ingenuity.
I exist not because of a single plan by a government or business but because of countless decisions, risks, and exchanges made by individuals and companies.
I am the child of voluntary trade, fierce competition, and the pursuit of profit, all working without a master plan. These forces grow me, move me, roast me, and deliver me to you.
No single person could make me from start to finish, yet billions of cups like me are made every day.
