Speaking at the National Conservatism conference in Miami, the Florida governor beat back commonly-held beliefs, casting his vision for how Republicans should view big business and the economy in modern America.

“The lesson for people on the right is, I think there was a generation of people, that kind of the muscle memory was just if it’s private, just defer to it. If it’s a corporate and let them do kind of what they want to do,” he said.

“Because, you know, look, we don’t want to micromanage different things in the economy. I’m not I’m not a central planner. I certainly don’t want to I don’t want to be doing that, but corporatism is not the same as free enterprise,” he continued, triggering applause.

“And I think too many Republicans have used limited government to basically mean whatever is best for corporate America is how we want to do the economy,” he said, explaining that he personally believes that free enterprise is the best economic system.

“But that is a means to an end. It’s a means to having a good fulfilling life and a prosperous society. It’s not an end in and of itself, but we need to make sure that we have that firmly in mind,” he warned.
