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.

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 122: Adam Smith’s Real Birthday and Real Legacy
David is joined this week for part two of our Adam Smith celebration by National Review’s own Dominic Pino. They continue the dialogue David started last week with Mark Skousen, really unpacking our modern understanding of and appreciation for Adam Smith.

Episode 117: The Fed Did It
David offers some commentary in light of the Fed’s latest announcement of another quarter-point rate hike. He wonders if the Fed has not only failed in the overly lofty aspirations society has unfairly put on it, but even in its own stated objectives that are far more humble. In other words, has post-Covid monetary policy just made everything worse all around?
