American prosperity was built on a foundation of free markets and free people. But, with inflation on the rise and a struggling market, many in America’s political class are attempting to recycle failed socialist ideas and calling for government intervention in nearly every aspect of American life. In this National Review Capital Matters podcast, presented by the National Review Institute, financier David Bahnsen hosts interviews with the nation’s top business leaders, entrepreneurs, and financial commentators. Tune in to hear guests such as Larry Kudlow, Steve Forbes, and Art Laffer present a practical and moral vindication of America’s capitalist way of life.

    Episode 283: A 7 Percent Growth Economy??

    When economic analysis and partisan cheerleading get mixed together, one suffers, and the other becomes embarrassing. David dissects Kevin Hassett’s claim that the economy is growing at 7 percent per year, and the dissection is not kind.

    Episode 282: Human Action in the Age of Isolation

    We are living in a time period where humans are spending less time together than ever, and more and more mechanisms in the market are facilitating this. Cultural trends and a host of demographic realities are reinforcing a human isolation that is problematic at best, and catastrophic at worst. In today’s Capital Record, David addresses the human element of social interaction, and the very nature of things that undergirds this. He laments this social trajectory and recognizes where market forces can serve to accommodate unhealthy trends if human beings stay determined to do unhealthy things. But he suggests that the solution is not in criticizing the natural accommodation of markets but rather in reversing those feedback loops through intentional and deliberate action. Naturally, he finds the state’s role in this to be dubious. Rather, and with some biographical confessions, he suggests that the solution to people being increasingly alone, lonely, and devoid of healthy, human interaction, starts with us.

    Episode 281: Market Discipline, Greenland, and President Trump

    We all got a lesson this week in one of the most powerful forces in world history. It is maybe the most important political dynamic on the globe today -- even more powerful than the separation of powers found in the Constitution. Indeed, unlike the latter, market discipline cannot be willed away.

    Episode 280: Credit Card Cockamamie

    The limit of a 10 percent interest rate on credit card debt is a perfect storm, an unintended consequence, a territory for bad policy. Since that Friday night announcement of the president, inspired by the Sanders/Warren wing of political ideology, we have now seen support from the president for the Credit Card Competition Act. Here, more nuances abound, and more opportunities for shaking one’s head exist.  In this episode of Capital Record, David: Takes on the “credit card fees are usury” argument, some conveniently jump onto.Explains who is hurt the most by a government price control on credit card interest.Unpacks the Credit Card Competition Act.Reminds us of the most important law in economics -- “there’s no free lunch” -- accompanied by the most important question in economics -- “compared to what?” Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

    Episode 279: Solving the Right Problem the Wrong Way Does Not Solve the Problem

    The president of the United States has ordered Fannie and Freddie to buy $200 billion of mortgage bonds (in a week where he has said and done a lot of things, some of which he is even allowed to do). On today’s Capital Record, David unpacks what this means, what it doesn’t mean, and why it doesn’t represent any solution to the housing affordability mess in which we find ourselves.

    Episode 278: Will Mayor Mamdani Give President Trump His Phone Back Please?

    On Wednesday, January 7, President Trump sent out two messages via social media: First, that he was “banning institutional ownership of residential real estate.” Later, that he was “outlawing return of capital to shareholders.” The Warren/Sanders/Mamdani wing of the Democratic Party is celebrating. The Reagan/Hayek/Laffer wing of the Republican wing is scratching its head. Today, David goes back to the utterly incoherent idea that institutions putting investment into residential real estate (all 0.4 percent of the single-family residences this represent) is behind the affordability issues. He reminds listeners what “supply-side” growth means. And he does a quick refresher on capital formation, and how capital is needed to innovate, and that how capital gets treated is somewhat relevant to that process. It’s a plea to remember first principles when it comes to economic policy, and why we have spent a lifetime rejecting this Marxian drivel.

    Episode 277: Collectivism and Its 50,000 Empty Apartments

    The new mayor of New York City is praising collectivism and urging optimism for what it can do. Many freedom lovers want to give a history lesson to the mayor about the 20th century’s horror of collectivist failures around the globe. But in addition to those needed history lessons, New Yorkers are welcome to their own current rent laws and the debacle they have created for those who claim to want more affordable rent options. In the first episode of Capital Record this new year, David explains how bad policies with good intentions do the same damage that bad policies with bad intentions do, and uses a real-life policy illustration to demonstrate why collectivism has always failed.

    Episode 276: When Something Isn’t Really Class Struggle

    Are exclusive deals of private companies for select investors exacerbating the divide between haves and have-nots? Or is there an entirely different lesson in the fact that there are substantially fewer public companies than there used to be? Is this a class struggle issue, or rather, a by-product of certain unavoidable realities combined with unintended consequences of policy decisions. Put differently -- are there some trying to have their cake and eat it, too?

    Episode 275: The Common Grace in Scott Galloway’s Wisdom for Young Men

    Scott Galloway is no conservative, and I am not sure he would like me nearly as much as I like him. But despite his professed atheism and center-left political leanings, a certain common grace has enabled Galloway to become a counter-voice in today’s responsibility-averse culture.  His new book, Notes on Being a Man, offer a few truisms that are desperately needed, desperately lacking, and profound for their counter-cultural tenor. In today’s Capital Record, we will look at how this message may be the lowest hanging fruit for a free and virtuous society in this current societal moment. Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

    Episode 274: Making America Crony Again

    If tariffs are “making us rich,” and if tariffs are “beautiful,” and if tariffs are “finally making things fair again,” and if tariffs are everything the administration has told us they are, why have there been exemptions, exclusions, and carveouts on $1.7 trillion of imports so far? Don’t get me wrong -- I would favor excluding tariffs on 100 percent of imports. But the question we address on Capital Record today is why we have exempted so many special parties and particular products if tariffs are such a force of good? As you will see, the question answers itself.
