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 196: Markets and Their Limits

    David is joined again today by Michael Matheson Miller of the Acton Institute, and they continue their robust talk about what markets can do, what they cannot do, what the moral implications of these things are, and much more. The theology is thick (the corrupting impact of sin), the controversy is real (is creative destruction a “tension” or an “evolution”), and the clarity is infectious (mistakes of the moment are repudiated). As all the talks with Miller have been, this is an all-time Capital Record best!

    Episode 195: Workers and the Law

    David is joined this week by Jonathan Berry, managing partner at Boyden Gray and a fierce advocate for the dignity of the human person in their work. The two have a robust discussion on where public policy and the lawmaking of the state ought to be a factor in protecting the rights and well-being of workers. They agree on many principles and disagree on some applications but cordially help you prudentially consider the role the state has (or doesn’t have) in worker flourishing.

    Episode 194: Elizabeth Warren’s New Right

    David is joined this week by Dr. Vance Ginn, formerly in the Trump administration’s Office of Management and Budget and long-time economist at the Texas Public Policy Center. They go through a plethora of issues that require a restoration of conservative thought and principles. From minimum wage to tariffs to trade to spending, this is THE episode for those who think policy matters, and it is REALLY for those who think first principles as the basis of policy matters.

    Episode 193: Religion, Competence, and Doing

    David is joined this week by Dr. Steve Jeffery to discuss the parallel economy in depth. Pastor Jeffery’s doctorate in physics from Oxford gave him a definition of “parallel” that causes him to wonder if what the “parallel economy” is all about is actually properly defined. David and Steve walk through the whole subject, discuss the priorities believers in business ought to have, and consider at a deeper level how we ought to think about those in our web of economic activity.

    Episode 192: What a Second Trump Term Would Mean for the Economy

    David is joined once again by Steve Moore of the Committee to Unleash Prosperity for a thorough discussion of what to expect out of the upcoming election, what the economic stakes are, what to expect in terms of policy, and perhaps most importantly, what to expect in terms of personnel.

    Episode 191: Wonder of the Ordinary

    David is joined by Michael Matheson Miller of the Acton Institute for what will be a two-part discussion on the very essence of this podcast. Here in Part 1, we unpack the fact that so many of the structures and artifacts that enhance our quality of life, that make market activity possible, are invisible, often becoming “out of sight” and “out of mind” for many of us. But these structures, systems, and conventions are no small thing, as you shall soon see. An absolute core episode that deserves the words, “must listen.”

    Episode 190: A Steel Trap

    David is joined by Sam Raus of Young Voices to discuss all the hubbub around the proposed Nippon Steel acquisition of U.S. Steel. The opposition to a company domiciled overseas investing foreign capital in U.S. workers, enterprises, and activity has been a golden chance to highlight the most ignorant of economic outlooks. Sam brings economic cogency to the matter, and the discussion is lively, hard-hitting, and worthwhile.

    Episode 189: The Virtue of Habits and Habit of Virtues

    David is joined for the second time on Capital Record by Dr. Andrew Abela, dean of the Busch School of Business at Catholic University in Washington, D.C., and author of the brand new book, "Superhabits: The Universal System for a Successful Life." They discuss the theology of virtues, the relevance of the topic to human flourishing, and the special application of such in today’s business culture. It is a discussion to dive into, with faithfulness and hope.

    Episode 188: Abiding not Striving

    David is joined this week by Barry Rowan, former CFO at GoGo, Vonage, and Nextel (amongst others), author of 'The Spiritual Art of Business,' and committed advocate of a life of integration. Barry is a leader in the faith and work movement, a renowned turnaround specialist, and a respected corporate leader. More importantly, he is a man of great wisdom and experience regarding the spiritual journey that is understanding our calling, our vocational duties, and this thing called life. Inspiring and challenging all at once!

    Episode 187: Parallel Confusion

    The so-called parallel economy is a non-existent mirage being pursued without economic or theological coherence. This doesn’t mean there aren’t some understandable instincts behind it all, but we first need to understand the history, the context, and the rationale -- and then we need to understand the reality of the inter-connected modern economy, and a little something called common grace.

    Episode 186: A Crisis of Responsibility, and Policy

    We are missing 12 million workers since the early 2000s, and 3.3 million of them are men between the ages of 25 and 35. This isn’t a “noteworthy economic shift” -- it is a full-blown cultural catastrophe. Rachel Greszler of the Heritage Foundation joins us today to discuss the latest and greatest in labor economics, and what some truly viable policy solutions may be to ensure two things: that we stop paying people to not work, and that we are paying people to work. It is a very serious discussion, and the topic is as serious as it gets in the cause of human flourishing.
