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!

Episode 43: Life after Capitalism

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.

David is joined this week by John Tamny of RealClearMarkets and Jack Ryan of REX, the co-authors of the brand new, magnificent book, "Bringing Adam Smith into the American Home: A Case Against Home Ownership." They discuss the cartel that is the National Association of Realtors and why mobility, dynamism, and free enterprise benefit from people who can move around and do things. It is a controversial, riveting discussion.

David is joined again by Dr. Samuel Gregg, recent recipient of the 2024 Bradley Prize, for a thorough discussion of what ails China’s economy and why U.S. industrial policy would prove to be a huge and unnecessary mistake. A little Japanese history is on display, and the two friends also have a bigger-picture discussion of the cultural forces that do the most damage to economic growth.

In this last installment for Mentor Month, David is joined by his late father, Dr. Greg Bahnsen, who, although he passed away in 1995, left a legacy of material perfect for incorporating into a 2024 podcast. David went through 20+ sermons and lectures from his dad from the 1970s and '80s to assemble a wonderful back and forth on work, and the power of Greg Bahnsen’s mentorship couldn’t be more clear!

Episode 167: The Best Mentor of All

David is joined for this third installment of Mentor Month by Lowell Miller, the founder and former head of Miller/Howard Investments, who taught David the philosophy of dividend-growth investing he has held dear for a couple of decades now.  Together, they walk through Lowell’s fascinating journey from Rolling Stone poet to leading dividend-growth guru, what it meant to David’s life and career, and why that approach to investing is as important now as it has ever been.
