Our Foundations Podcast

Abortion, gun control, war, racism, and more. We all know that the state of political discourse today is a mess. Why is it so crazy? Why can't we have rational conversations about these topics? Let's cover these questions and also take a look at how to approach some of the hottest topics in today's culture from a relatively objective standpoint and in a way that we may actually be able to understand both sides of the issues and actually influence the causes we believe in. This goes for both liberals and conservatives.

For a view on patriotism in it's original sense, we must see what the original founders and citizens of the colonies believed. What was the Founding Fathers' beliefs on government? Did the colonial Americans even want a federal government? What was the debate over the Constitution and how did it play out? Who were the Federalists and why do I call their success a coup? This episode covers these topics through the lens of many important documents from the time period... William Bradford's Journal, The Declaration of Independence, The Articles of Confederation, The Constitution, The Federalist Papers, The Bill of Rights, and even a touch on the Emancipation Proclamation. Enjoy.

The Austrian and Keynesian schools of economics thought have been battling it out for decades. They both have answers for why markets crash and recover as well as recommendations for how to mitigate the swings and promote stable economic growth. The problem? One school says that governments need to step in and intervene while the other says that government intervention creates distortions in the market and is the reason for the major market swings. Understanding these two opposing views sets us up for understanding our current economy, market risks, state actions, monetary policy, and more.

This is a shorter interlude episode focused mainly on how the conversation in today's society has become divisive and toxic without much true intellectual debate and discussion, especially among us "common citizens". We'll look at value judgments vs perspectives, ideas vs beliefs, emotional arguments vs logical, etc. This preludes an upcoming episode that will be specifically on divisive politics and will cover the hottest topics circulating today... abortion, racism, guns, and more. I also give an update on the podcast and forecast for the next few episodes.
