Capital Record

David is joined by Andrew Stuttaford of National Review Capital Matters to look into the crystal ball of 2022 and seek out the good, bad, and ugly. Together, they unpack Omicron, inflation, the Fed, ESG, woke capitalism, geopolitical fears, and so much more, and they leave you with all you could hope for in thinking about 2022.

Žilvinas Šilėnas (his friends call him “Z”), the president of the Foundation for Economic Education (FEE), joins David this week on the Capital Record. Z is a two-time Templeton Freedom Award winner and was the long-time president of the Lithuanian Free Market Institute. He shares an opposition to socialist and Marxist ideas, not merely from believing in the superior ideas of freedom and exchange, but also from living with the horrors of Eastern-bloc central planning for most of his life. Join David and Z as they dive into one man’s personal journey from command/control to freedom and prosperity. Also learn how Z and the good folks at FEE believe that there is an effective way of communicating the ideas of liberty economics to the younger generation.

David is joined by Ryan Anderson, president of the Ethics & Policy Center in Washington, D.C. Ryan is one of the foremost intellectuals in the country in matters of political philosophy and social thought and has done significant work in applying his disciplines to economic rights. David and Ryan use this podcast time to dive into the present debates about markets prevalent in faith circles, where markets are increasingly looked upon skeptically by those flustered with the state of the culture war. David fears the horse is about to get out of the barn as many of the right’s best and brightest abandon faith in markets, and Ryan brings the needed calm, sobriety, and wisdom that this pivotal topic desperately needs.

David is joined by free-market guru, supply-side legend, flat-tax hero, and all-around happy warrior Steve Forbes. The two of them embark upon a far-reaching conversation on the misguided intentions of the current administration, the right way to talk to young adults about markets, and why the future belongs to believers in a free society.

David is joined today by Judy Shelton, Senior Fellow at the Independent Institute, who was famously (and tragically) one vote away from being approved for a seat on the Federal Reserve Board of Governors. Judy and David talk about the Fed’s legitimate function, where it has exceeded that function, and what the repercussions have been for all of us. The “moral contract” that the government’s “legal monopoly” on legal tender implies means we are doing a lot of things wrong, and Judy Shelton is the person to walk us though this.

David hosts George Gilder yet again, this time in an interview for the National Review Institute, to discuss his positively profound insights on “information theory” and “life after capitalism.” Not to be missed!

David is joined this week by Dr. Anthony Bradley, professor at the King’s College and research fellow at the Acton Institute, for a deep and wide conversation on the anthropology of economics, the realities of inner cities, the need of the hour in job creation, and so much more.

David is joined on this episode by Amity Shlaes, one of the great economic historians and the leading Calvin Coolidge scholar of our time.

David is joined this week by National Review regular, Michael Brendan Dougherty, for a diverse conversation on politics, culture and more.

David is joined on Capital Record by Bob Doll, long-time Chief Equity Strategist at prestigious Wall Street firms.
