I got a C in economics in high school economics, so I am no help in explaining what caused our current inflation, how to fix it, and when rising prices will subside. I brought in Texas Tech economics professor Alex Salter to explain it. He is also a Young Voices contributor and the author of Money and the Rule of Law: Generality and Predictability in Monetary Institutions​, which is published by Cambridge University Press.

Inflation Explained by Economist Alex Salter

I feel like a lot of you do: Politically homeless. Spiritually thirsty. Financially and relationally fragile. Life in the mid-21st century has left many of us feeling lost and yearning for belonging. You're not alone. To make sense of our moment, I talk with writers, historians, educators, innovators, friends, and family about current events, political philosophy, history, family, and faith to strive for change — within ourselves, our communities, and our nation. I examine news and culture from a Christian libertarian perspective to understand today's divisions. From there, I want to envision a more optimistic and prosperous tomorrow through political and cultural action that embraces mercy. Subscribe to be a part of something different.

From January 2023: Chase Oliver turned in a strong performance in the US Senate race in Georgia in 2022 and captured the attention of international media and libertarians. He's now thinking of turning that momentum into a presidential run on the Libertarian Ticket by launching an exploratory committee. He joins me to discuss his background, why he became a libertarian, what messaging he believes works best, and what issues he'd run on. Learn more at VoteChaseOliver.com.

Replay: Chase Oliver, Now the Candidate For President On The Libertarian Party Ticket

We cover a spectrum of issues such as Libertarian Party strategies, global political trends, the encroachment of digital currency control, economic policies, and even the potential societal collapse! That's what happens when we check in with our fin Andy Horning. 
We discuss the necessity for substantial change within American politics, skepticism towards incrementalism and the World Economic Forum's vision for the future, financial challenges to welfare programs, and the power of a passionate minority to instigate political revolution. Andy also talks about his Senate run and the promotion of his book "Relighting the Torch," proposing solutions to these issues.

Donald Trump is speaking at the LP Convention? Huh?

What do you think of when you hear the words sex trafficking? Maybe your mind goes to 2012 in Uganda when the warlord Joseph Kony kidnapped tens of thousands of girls or the daring rescues of Tim Ballard shown in Sound of Freedom. Now, the words "sex trafficking" are being associated with Puff Daddy. These accounts of the suffering of women and men undergoing commercial sexual exploitation dominate our media and mental images, but they're not the norm. The reality is that what was once called sex trafficking is happening in our own neighborhoods, and my guest, Mark Steenbarger of Point of View Story, is a filmmaker who works to liberate those trapped in a cycle of abuse. He shares with us the typical face of commercial sexual exploitation, what is being done to fight it, and how we can be vigilant with our own kids.

What is the Most Common Face of Sex Trafficking in Our Communities, and How Can We Prevent It? With Mark Steenbarger

Purdue Polytechnic High School is a revolutionary model of learning that promotes student interest-guided, project-based education. I am joined by Drew Gooden, a coach from the school, and Mark Boykin, a sophomore student. They provide insights into the school's operations, teaching methods, and successful outcomes of the school launched by the famed University. We dive into how this model empowers students to control their educational journey, preparing them for a future of potential jobs that may not yet exist.
