Podcast appearances and mentions of Avik Roy

What is "the Right"? Over the next several months, Giving Ventures will be exploring this question through a series of interviews with leaders in the conservative and libertarian space. From the libertarians to the traditionalists, the national conservatives and the New Right—this series will give you a sense of the scope and diversity on the American Right. In this inaugural episode, we're considering Freedom Conservatism. Launched in response to the increasingly popularity of nationalism and populism in conservative quarters, Freedom Conservatism aims to preserve a Reaganite understanding of classical liberalism. To help unpack what it means to be a "FreeCon," Peter is joined by Avik Roy and John Hood, who helped launch the Freedom Conservatism movement with a Statement of Principles in the summer of 2023. That statement boasts signers like former Florida Governor Jeb Bush, columnist George Will, and former Heritage Foundation President Kay Cole James. John Hood is president of the John William Pope Foundation, based in Raleigh, and previously spent many years running North Carolina's free-market think tank, the John Locke Foundation. Avik Roy is the founder and chairman of the Foundation for Research on Equal Opportunity, a think tank focused on promoting market-based solutions to economic and social issues affecting low and middle-income Americans.

Avik Roy, President of the Foundation for Research on Equal Opportunity (FREOPP), joined The Guy Benson Show to discuss the economy's rebound, highlighted by the DOW's bounce back after Trump has appeared to ease his stance on tariffs. Roy and guest host Harry Hurley also argued that many of DOGE's image problems stem from poor communication strategies, rather than policy itself. Roy also weighed in on the so-called "closing" of the Department of Education, questioning which aspects of Trump's executive order will hold and which require congressional action for permanent change.

On this episode of Reaganism, Reagan Institute Director Roger Zakheim is joined by Avik Roy who is the President of the Foundation for Research on Equal Opportunity. They discuss the principles of Freedom Conservatism, its roots in Reaganism, and the current divide within the conservative movement. They explore the relevance of Reagan's legacy today, the contrasting views of economic freedom, and the optimism versus pessimism that characterizes different factions of conservatism. Roy emphasizes the need for a revival of classical liberalism and critiques the national conservative movement's approach to government intervention and economic policy.

The great fusionist project of ordered liberty advocated by Frank Meyer, William F. Buckley, and M.

“If you can enlarge the constituency of people who really, really care about Bitcoin, have a real stake in it, who are willing to fight really hard, and will vote on that basis, then politicians are going to realize that alienating or antagonising that constituency has a greater cost than going along with what they have to say.”— Avik RoyAvik Roy is president of the Foundation for Research on Equal Opportunity think tank and a policy Editor at Forbes.

What does conservatism mean? What principles do we stand for? And what vision for conservatism is most aligned with both America's founding and its future? Avik Roy joined Rep. Crenshaw to answer these questions and look at how the New Right has diverged in favor of populism and nationalism. They steelman and respond to all the major arguments of the New Right on trade and industrial policy, government intervention, foreign policy, and immigration.   Avik Roy recently co-founded the Freedom Conservatism project to address these questions and give us a Statement of Principles to guide the future of the conservative movement.

Episode 72 is with Avik Roy, president of the Foundation for Research on Equal Opportunity, FREOPP. Avik and I discuss the following and more: 1) America's biggest economic issues today pushing it toward fiscal insolvency and how to address them with Freedom Conservatism; 2) Why free enterprise and liberty are central to lifting people out of poverty, and how to expand both; and 3) The importance of minimizing the government's role at the federal and state levels, issues with populism and the National Conservatism movement, and the “Cost of Thriving.” If you found today's discussion valuable, be sure to check out this insightful essay by James Patterson as mentioned by Avik https://lawliberty.org/the-realignment-that-wasnt/ and visit FREOPP's website: https://freopp.org/ Please like this video, subscribe to the channel, share it on social media, and provide a rating and review.

What does crypto mean for the future of banking? Why isn't there an “Uber” for healthcare? Is negative economic growth necessarily bad? Today we're joined by Avik Roy, President of the Foundation for Research on Equal Opportunity, to explore these questions. Plus, Sierra Leone pushes for change, Congress passes a “Bombshell” bill, and the 8 billionth person is born. What Could Go Right? is produced by The Progress Network and The Podglomerate.

“Free enterprise and individual liberty and innovation/entrepreneurship do actually increase prosperity for lower and middle-income people, they've done that all over the world; we've lifted a billion people out of poverty in India and China over the last 20 years...and we can do that again.”— Avik RoyAvik Roy is president of the Foundation for Research on Equal Opportunity think tank and a policy Editor at Forbes. In this interview, we discuss how society can improve social mobility through free markets, individual liberty, innovation, social integration, energy freedom, housing growth and harnessing good deflation. - - - - America was built on the notion of social mobility. The ‘land of opportunity' opened its arms to the world. And they came from all corners. Most arrived with little to their name. But countless stories of aspirational success followed. Hard work, tenacity, and innovation were rewarded. It wasn't perfect, but the American Dream was a theme that built a new hegemonic power not on privilege, but on the closest any major power has come to meritocratic society. That was America up to the 1970s. Since then social mobility has all but seized up, and has even started to decline. We are now entering a period when future generations are likely to be worse off than their predecessors. Is this because governments have failed? Are the libertarians right? Do we need to unshackle humans from collective interference? Or, is there a way for society to flourish with the help of institutional collaboration? The Foundation for Research on Equal Opportunity (FREOPP) have a mission to expand “economic opportunity to those who least have it”. They provide policy advice on all the major areas of governmental concern: criminal justice, health, education, energy, finance, housing, trade etc. etc. The tools it advocates politicians use are individual liberty, free enterprise, technological innovation, and pluralism.The aim is to make society more equal. Reducing inequality makes society more prosperous. American history is the best evidence for that. Misjudged policies and a reactive and intrusive approach from governments have allowed inequality to increase over the past decades. To change means that the status quo must be challenged. Such change means looking forward not backwards. Whilst history can inspire, it doesn't necessarily show the way. New ways of thinking must be embraced. The deflationary forces of innovation must be harnessed. And destructive polarisation must be defeated. American exceptionalism requires a renewed collaborative spirit. Bitcoiners can help drive that movement. - - - - This episode's sponsors:Gemini - Buy Bitcoin instantlyLedn - Financial services for Bitcoin hodlersBitcasino - The Future of Gaming is herePacific Bitcoin - Bitcoin‑only event, Nov 10 & 11, 2022Ledger - State of the art Bitcoin hardware walletWasabi Wallet - Privacy by defaultTexas Blockchain Summit - Nov 17-18, 2022 | Austin, TexasBCB Group - Global digital financial Services-----WBD564 - Show Notes-----If you enjoy The What Bitcoin Did Podcast you can help support the show by doing the following:Become a Patron and get access to shows early or help contributeMake a tip:Bitcoin: 3FiC6w7eb3dkcaNHMAnj39ANTAkv8Ufi2SQR Codes: BitcoinIf you do send a tip then please email me so that I can say thank youSubscribe on iTunes | Spotify | Stitcher | SoundCloud | YouTube | Deezer | TuneIn | RSS FeedLeave a review on iTunesShare the show and episodes with your friends and familySubscribe to the newsletter on my websiteFollow me on Twitter Personal | Twitter Podcast | Instagram | Medium | YouTubeIf you are interested in sponsoring the show, you can read more about that here or please feel free to drop me an email to discuss options.

This week, Hurricane Ian slammed into southwest Florida as a Category 4 storm and one of the strongest to make landfall in the U.S. Millions of people are without power and many homes are underwater.  Natural disasters are often tests of state and federal leadership. The Biden administration was in contact with Florida Governor Ron DeSantis ahead of the storm to help support emergency response. But the stakes are high for DeSantis. The governor is seen as a frontrunner for the presidential bid in 2024, and handling this disaster could hurt or bolster his potential campaign. How is he doing so far? DeSantis made a point during the COVID-19 pandemic to refuse federal guidance. Will a disaster of this scale help government agencies work together? Or will political tensions block necessary coordination? Plus, Iranian protests, largely led by women, have lasted for nearly two weeks. They were triggered by the death of 22-year-old Mahsa Amini who was apprehended by the “morality police” for not wearing her head covering correctly.  Iranian authorities are violently cracking down on protestors, which the Biden administration swiftly denounced. The White House is also getting communications equipment to protestors as the government shuts down internet access.  Could this ignite a universal feminist movement? And will the protests force a change in U.S. policy toward Iran?   Host David Greene discusses with Jill Filipovic, columnist at CNN.com, on the left; and Avik Roy, president at the Foundation for Research on Equal Opportunity, on the right.  And special guest Renato Mariotti, former federal prosecutor and columnist at Politico, analyzes the upcoming consequential Supreme Court docket.  What can we expect from the conservative majority court? And could cases on affirmative action, immigration policy, or voting rights drastically reshape our society?

On this episode of Future of Freedom, host Scot Bertram talks with Avik Roy, President of the Foundation for Research on Equal Opportunity (FREOPP). FREOPP is "a non-profit think tank focused on expanding economic opportunity to those who least have it." Roy talks about the value of prudence in policy discussions, what he learned from the fight over the Affordable Care Act, and if his policy prescriptions have changed over the past decade. Also, should we always trust the free market to work in the best interests of lower-income Americans? You can follow Avik on Twitter at @avik.

“A lot of people, particularly intellectuals, like to complain about our consumerist culture in America. Well, what creates a consumerist culture? A monetary policy that destroys the long-term value and reward for saving your own money.”— Avik RoyAvik Roy is president of the Foundation for Research on Equal Opportunity think tank and a policy Editor at Forbes. In this interview, we discuss the Lummis Gillibrand Responsible Financial Innovation Act, inflation's compounding impact on the poor and why Bitcoin provides optimism.- - - - On June 7th Republican Senator Lummis and Democratic Senator Gillibrand introduced the Responsible Financial Innovation Act, which aims to establish a regulatory framework for digital assets in the US. Many Bitcoiners believe Bitcoin is designed to work outside of regulatory oversight. But is this proposal inimical to Bitcoin's potential to positively contribute to society?If Bitcoin is to play a dominant role within society, can it do that outside of the law? Irrespective of Bitcoin, should governments have a role in protecting citizens from the negative impacts of the wider altcoin market? What are the dividing lines between different digital assets? And, could the lack of regulation in the near term actually be detrimental to Bitcoin in the long run?Bitcoin's advocates are heavily engaged in trying to obtain regulatory clarity - they fear continued uncertainty could delay or damage its ability to provide utility to those who really need it. This is particularly for those impacted by the ravages of inflation. The current inflationary environment has resulted in renewed consideration of this economic condition. The issue is that there is actually a deficit of understanding of inflation's regressive impacts. It impacts the poorest in society hardest, whilst benefiting the richest. These impacts compound over time such that inequality explodes even in low inflationary environments.Does this mean inflation as a policy is a busted flush? Should economies aim for zero inflation?

On May 24, an 18-year-old opened fire at an elementary school in Uvalde, Texas, killing 19 children and two adults. The nation responded in horror and dismay that a school shooting happened again. There have been 212 mass shooting incidents in 2022, and the U.S. has the world's highest number of mass shootings, according to the World Population Review. Can politicians agree on reforms that could decrease the catastrophic number of such incidents in the U.S.?   Guest host Jessica Yellin of “News Not Noise” discusses with Elizabeth Bruenig, staff writer at The Atlantic, on the left; and Avik Roy, president of the Foundation for Research on Equal Opportunity, on the right.   Then, special guest Evelyn Farkas, executive director of the McCain Institute, shares her thoughts on how likely Ukraine is to win the war against Russia, which is now in its fourth month. With rumors that President Putin has cancer and that Russian elites are unsettled by the  economy and global isolation, is there an increasing chance Putin leaves power in the near future?  China has been watching all this with their eyes on Taiwan, where tensions have been ramping up. On his recent trip overseas, President Biden said he would defend Taiwan from Chinese aggression. Should U.S. policy toward Taiwan and China change?

Duane Patterson and I look at Russia's big setback in the Ukraine war – the destruction of its Black Sea flagship Moskva. Putin might be heading for a bigger disaster with Finland; can he survive NATO expansion to within a stone's throw of Murmansk? FREOPP.org's Avik Roy delves deeply into the inflation reports and analyzes all the ways in which we arrived here. Can we escape?

Avik Roy is the president of FREOPP.org. We talk about healthcare in the United States, the history that got us to the system we have and why it's so expensive. Avik also tells us about his journey and his interest in Bitcoin.

"Aspiring Republican politicians and conservative opinionators love talking in darkened tones about the malevolence of elites. And yet, for all the fingers wagged and pixels rendered, conservatives have largely ignored the most economically significant way in which elites actually _have_ rigged the game in their favor. The widening gap between elites and the rest of us comes down in large part to the highly abnormal way in which the United States has defined money for the last 50 years." - Avik Roy Avik breaks down in this article from The American Mind, the poisonous nature of our monetary system, where it all started, how it unfairly benefits the already wealthy at our expense, & how Bitcoin truly fixes this. Plus a lengthy Guy's take that gets heated because economics is just too exciting not to get amped up about it.

Today's guest is the founder of The Foundation for Research on Equal Opportunity, Avik Roy. Mr Roy makes the case that Bitcoin can help maintain America's economic leadership as well as be a valuable force for helping those most susceptible to inflation. We discuss: Does Bitcoin begin to bring the Right and Left together? Why Bitcoin is a progressive force for good. CBDCs and privacy Could Bitcoin erode state power Health care policy https://freopp.org/ https://twitter.com/Avik https://theprogressivebitcoiner.com/ https://twitter.com/progressivebtcr  

Avik Roy is an Editor at Forbes and the President of The Foundation for Research on Equal Opportunity. In his recent article "Bitcoin and the U.S. Fiscal Reckoning" Avok writes "It's becoming clear that Bitcoin is not merely a passing fad, but a significant innovation with potentially serious implications for the future of investment and global finance. To understand those implications, we must first examine the recent history of the primary instrument that bitcoin was invented to challenge: the American dollar.Toward the end of World War II, in an agreement hashed out by 44 Allied countries in Bretton Woods, New Hampshire, the value of the U.S. dollar was formally fixed to 1/35th of the price of an ounce of gold. Other countries' currencies, such as the British pound and the French franc, were in turn pegged to the dollar, making the dollar the world's official reserve currency."Read Avik's article here: https://www.nationalaffairs.com/publications/detail/bitcoin-and-the-us-fiscal-reckoning——————————————————————Watch this video on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/c/SALTTube/videosFor podcast transcripts and show notes, visit https://www.salt.org/Moderated by Anthony Scaramucci.

Cryptocurrencies like bitcoin have few fans in Washington, but thanks to increasing worries over the long-term stability of the dollar, they have piqued the interest of some major investors. In an era of rapid growth in deficits and debt and rising inflation, cryptocurrencies may be pointing us toward a new monetary order. Guest Avik Roy joins us to discuss why policymakers should take these currencies seriously — as both threats and opportunities. Avik Roy is president of the Foundation for Research on Equal Opportunity. This podcast discusses themes from Avik's essay in the Fall 2021 issue of National Affairs, “https://nationalaffairs.com/publications/detail/bitcoin-and-the-us-fiscal-reckoning (Bitcoin and the U.S. Fiscal Reckoning).”  

"It is understandably difficult for most of us to imagine a monetary world aside from the one in which we've lived for generations. After all, the U.S. dollar has served as the world's leading reserve currency since 1919, when Britain was forced off the gold standard. There are only a handful of people living who might recall what the world was like before then. Nevertheless, change is coming." - Avik Roy The fiscal promiscuity of the United States is reaching its end. The bill for the 50 year party and bull market in US treasury bonds is coming to an end. But everything might not be as bleak as it seems, with Bitcoin incentivizing a return to sound money, and providing a global, neutral place to secure wealth, our current disaster could be an amazing opportunity. Don't miss an incredible piece from Avik Roy, on "Bitcoin and the US Fiscal Reckoning."

Location: Austin, TX Date: Thursday 7th October Company: Forbes Role: Editor In 1971, Richard Nixon ended Bretton Woods, severing the entire global monetary system from its anchor, gold. Governments around the world have since been able to create new money and increase debt virtually without restriction. Fifty years later, and there's no political will to slow down spending. Instead, new money is created to pay for new spending, and the numbers involved get larger and larger. Governments can issue new currency to service their own debt, but the cycle of increasing deficit spending and monetary inflation may already be leading to spiralling debt and runaway prices with no obvious way out. In this interview, I talk to Avik Roy, Editor at Forbes. We discuss the growing problems with debt and inflation, healthcare, and central bank digital currencies.

In much of American health care, payers and providers are separate, distinct entities that simply have a business arrangement. But there are exceptions to that rule, and close payer-provider alignment can generate innovations that not only work for then, but for the patient. Ceci explores the power of those relationships, as well as value and affordability in the current system.

Over the past few decades, health care costs have risen, quality has fallen, and, today, far too many Americans continue to lack access to affordable coverage and care. And now, with COVID-19 continuing to ravage our communities, people have found themselves trapped in a health care system that too often isn't up to the task of keeping our communities healthy. But there's a path out of the darkness. Rather than letting ourselves get bogged down in tired, polarized debates… rather than focusing on extreme, impractical solutions… we can start a new chapter in American health care. One built on respectful, thoughtful conversations. One built on Healthy Dialogue. Featuring prominent health care leaders such as Verily Health president Vivian Lee, conservative thought-leader Avik Roy and U.S. Representative, former HHS Secretary and U.S. Representative Donna Shalala (D-FL 27), and Intermountain Healthcare CEO Marc Harrison… Healthy Dialogue provides a comprehensive and balanced look at what is and isn't working in health care today.  Learn more: https://achp.org/news/healthy-dialogue
