David Bahnsen always speaks truth as he sees it and his wisdom is very much worth the time it takes to listen to. He was on fire in this episode and, providentially, it was excellent timing for us to hear it. So thankful for this podcast!
Well then…. I haven’t heard quite that much passion on the CR before. Although much was over my head I learned a bunch!
Viva la CR
Ep. 282 is terrific! The state—not free markets is responsible for alienation and isolation. Civic and social organizations are stronger with a purpose. A larger welfare state crowds out the purpose of charity and for community engagement.
One of my favorite economic podcasters talking about one of my other favorites. David Bahnsen and Scott Galloway should join forces.

This program focuses on free-market economics, capitalism, and the defense of limited government, often weaving in faith-based perspectives. Episodes routinely examine policy debates, cronyism, and the societal value of work and entrepreneurship, featuring interviews with business leaders, economists, and policy commentators. A recurring strength is connecting economic theory to real-world implications for markets, regulation, and national prosperity, with thoughtful critiques of government intervention and a clear fusionist stance. Potential listeners who want principled, market-centric commentary on current events, finance, and public policy will likely find it compelling and thought-provoking.
