  • The state is responsible for civic organization decline

    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.

    All this turns out to be just a year long complaint about tariffs, quite sad.

    They should play this at the beginning of every lecture in every economics, regulatory, law, marketing, finance, basket-weaving, gender studies class on every college campus, in all of the US ad infinitum. Unfortunately, we are raising generations of children who a) remain children well into adulthood, and b) think the fix for every perceived injustice is government regulation and more laws. What a blessing to have your voice in the midst of this insanity.

    These short episodes are dense; a bit like a Tabata workout. Hang on to your vocabulary and don’t multitask. Grateful for someone who can articulate worldview, first principles and Christian ethics.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Episode 173: Getting Based with Work
Q: Do you think the conference, do you think the subject, do you think you're the passion you feel for it is largely driven by a message you'd like to see the church get on with, you want an antidote to laziness, is it a kind of personal character issue or do you think there's something more broadly economic at play?
It's a mix of wanting to drive home a message to the church about work and the dignity found in it, while also acknowledging broader economic challenges.
Episode 169: Déjà vu and Demography
Q: What is the general takeaway of this piece that you wrote in late March?
The piece argues that many American economic debates relate back to a false perception of China as a rising power necessitating protectionist policies. In reality, China faces significant economic issues.

Q: Will social media be considered better, worse or the same than television in the coming years?
It will likely be viewed with skepticism, similar to how television is regarded now.
Episode 175: Not Predicting but Responding
Q: Will there be a new social media platform in 10 years that right now none of us have heard of that is a major player?

Episode 175: Not Predicting but Responding
Q: Would you guys identify as conservatives?
