Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

David McWilliams - The History of Money: A Story of Humanity
Q: What caused you to pen this book?
David explores his desire to understand the nature and evolution of money, reflecting on how economists often misunderstand it and how money significantly influences society.
Charles Murray - Taking Religion Seriously
Q: Why are space and time so important for thinking about the potential of God?
They are integral to the understanding of the universe's origins and the nature of a creator existing outside of time and space, as articulated in concepts like the Big Bang.
Charles Murray - Taking Religion Seriously
Q: What does it mean to be a happy agnostic?
It means feeling fulfilled without needing a religious element to complete your happiness; living a complete life without the need for faith.
Charles Murray - Taking Religion Seriously
Q: What caused you to write this title particularly at this time?
It started after a discussion about religion during a video interview, and I realized there are many educated people who, like me, find religion has not been a significant part of their lives yet may benefit from a deeper understanding.
James Grant - Friends Until The End
Q: How do you see the future of the economy and Fed policy?
The administration wants to subjugate the Fed to its will, aiming for low-interest rates to stimulate the economy.
