Capital Record

David tackles the very essence of Capital Record in this solo-act version of the podcast that should not to be missed.

Jordan Ballor, Director of Research at the Center for Religion, Culture, and Democracy, joins the Capital Record to pontificate with David on why institutions are held in such low regard, whether or not big business is capable of acting with virtue, and what steps are most needed in this day and age of apparent disdain for all we hold dear. Listen up -- Jordan and David are more optimistic than you might think!

David is joined by Heritage Foundation scholar, Dr. Jay Richards, whose work in establishing the moral foundation of economics has been extraordinary. They talk a little Hayek, a little history, a little Sowell, and a little soul.

David and known free-market pundit, Stephen Moore, go round and round about the present state of affairs -- from spending, to tax increases, to a growing Fed, to the lost incentives of statist thinking. Do elected officials and Wall Street success stories both suffer from the same affliction? Namely, a low regard for, or poor understanding of, the very thing that makes markets work to begin with? It’s a hard-hitting discussion across a multitude of topics you won’t want to miss.

The nation’s foremost housing and mortgage economist, Edward Pinto of the AEI Housing Center, joins Capital Record this week to unpack the history of Fannie and Freddie, evaluate the current state of the U.S. housing industry, and offer a no-holds-barred critique of the profound policy errors that have brought us here. We are dealing with one of the great economic atrocities of all time here, and we have the world’s foremost expert to help make sense of it all.

Louis Gave of Gavekal Research comes back to Capital Record, this time elaborating on his bullish thesis for China’s bond market and currency and explaining a perspective on the country's entire strategic direction that is contrarian to say the least. He is thorough, convincing, data-driven, and masterful in the economics, and the discussion David and Louis have is not one you will want to miss.

David welcomes Anthony Scaramucci back to the Capital Record to discuss COVID, mandatory vaccines, the responsibility of government, the limitations of government, and what this ultimately all means for a free economy.

David and our very own Daniel Tenreiro take a spin around the Capital Matters world, looking at woke capitalism, the challenges in Big Tech, and the big picture of today’s economy. We live in interesting times.

David is joined once again by the father of the supply-side revolution, famed economist Dr. Art Laffer, who shares with David fond memories of the recently deceased grandfather of supply-side economics, Dr. Robert Mundell. The discussion reflects on Mundell’s achievements and abilities, while also looking to the future and asking what supply-side economics will mean for fiscal and monetary policy going forward. David and Art keep the conversation laser-focused, if the laser gun was broken.

David is joined by Strategas Research CEO Jason Trennert for a thorough discussion on the state of free enterprise, the state of money supply, and the real benchmark for measuring inflation in a year.  They even left themselves a little “wager” to measure one year from today, and listeners may want in on that.
