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.
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.

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.
