Todd examines Texas Senate candidate James Talarico's claim that capitalism, white supremacy, and climate change are linked oppressive systems that must be dismantled. He contrasts that worldview with free enterprise, voluntary exchange, property rights, innovation, and the biblical calling to create and build, arguing that socialism—not capitalism—uses government power to take freedom and the fruits of people's labor. Todd also challenges Talarico's progressive-Christian claims about God, gender, abortion, and Christlikeness, and explains why the battle over liberty, faith, and America's founding principles remains central to the 2026 election.

Ray Madoff (The Second Estate, Immortality and the Law, Practical Guide to Estate Planning) is a Boston College law professor, author, and tax-policy expert. Ray joins Armchair Expert to discuss being a proudly mediocre high school student, reluctantly trading philosophy for law school, and becoming a terrible Wall Street tax lawyer who loved teaching. Ray and Dax talk about America's return to a pre-revolutionary aristocracy, how “salaries are for suckers” among the ultrawealthy, and why $50 trillion in wealth yielded only $28 billion in estate tax. Ray explains why high earners and wealth holders aren't the same, how fair taxation could rescue capitalism, and why the problem is the system and not billionaires themselves.Thank you to our presenting partner Lilly.

In this episode of Verdict with Ted Cruz, Senator Ted Cruz and Ben Ferguson discuss a CEO roundtable focused on Trump Accounts, contributions pledged by business leaders including Michael Dell and Gwynne Shotwell, the role of investing education for children, and efforts to broaden nationwide participation. They also pivot to comments previously made by James Talarico, examining his remarks about capitalism, climate policy, and economic systems as Cruz contrasts those views with his own defense of free-market principles. The debate over ownership, investing, and economic opportunity takes center stage as Ted Cruz highlights growing support for Trump Accounts from major business leaders and companies. According to Cruz, the program is designed to expand investing opportunities for children, encourage long-term savings, and create a new generation of investors through tax-advantaged accounts.The episode also examines announcements from corporate leaders and philanthropists who have pledged contributions to Trump Accounts, along with efforts to expand participation through employer matching programs and automatic enrollment initiatives. Cruz argues that the program could have long-term effects on how families think about saving, investing, and financial literacy. Topics Covered: CEO support and employer participation in Trump Accounts Contributions announced by Michael Dell, Susan Dell, and Gwynne Shotwell Auto-enrollment plans and nationwide account access Financial literacy, investing, and ownership for children Brad Gerstner's role in developing the original Invest America concept James Talarico's comments on capitalism, climate policy, and economic systems Please Hit Subscribe to this podcast Right Now.

Unions have more public support than just about anything else in the US, and yet, their membership has cratered. This poses an immense challenge to left-wing politicians, who won't be able to enact lasting change without a robust labor movement beside them. On this latest episode of Confronting Capitalism, Vivek Chibber addresses the age-old question of whether unions are inherently political, the importance (and limits) of internal democracy within unions, and why socialists have always been at the heart of the labor movement.

Join Jim and Greg for the Wednesday 3 Martini Lunch as they consider a terrific defense of capitalism in the face of CNN lefties trying to tie it to white supremacy, Rick Caruso's odd re-emergence in the LA mayor's race, Sen. Ed Markey easily winning his primary and immediately calling for Trump's impeachment, and Hunter Biden's latest weird confession.First, they applaud CNN panelist Kmele Foster for his robust defense of capitalism and how it is absurd for the left to try to link it to white supremacy as James Talarico and others have tried to do. Jim also explains that the frustrations many people think they have with capitalism is really the result of government regulation.Next, they roll their eyes as Rick Caruso, who lost the 2022 Los Angeles mayoral race to Karen Bass, suddenly reappears and seems shocked that the Democratic Socialists of America are a factor in this year's campaign. Jim and Greg discuss how Caruso's stock has fallen considerably over the past couple of years.Then, they dig into Sen. Markey's big win over Rep. Seth Moulton in the Democratic U.S. Senate primary in Massachusetts. And while some top Democrats are pretending otherwise, Markey immediately demanded the impeachment of President Trump if Democrats control Congress again.Finally, they're almost speechless as Hunter Biden declares himself 48.6 percent gay. Greg sees this as a ploy by Biden to gain sympathy and support on the left. Jim longs for the days when people didn't reveal every last detail of their personal lives.Please visit our great sponsors:Icognihttps://incogni.com/3MLTake control of your digital footprint with Incogni today.

In part two of Red Eye Radio with Gary McNamara and Eric Harley, Sen. Ted Cruz expressed concern about the future of the United States while discussing the Democratic Party's shift toward embracing candidates with progressive worldviews and policies. “I have never been more frightened for our nation than I am right now,” Cruz said on Hang Out with Sean Hannity on Tuesday. “We are seeing a communist takeover and an Islamist takeover of the Democratic Party, and it is dangerous because if these zealots ever get in control, their objective is to permanently damage and destroy this country,” Cruz said. Also a discussion on capitalism, a free market society and how the work ethic has eroded with a post-Covid business model.

Pure Socialism can never work properly in human relationships because it violates to basic principles of human nature.First of all, it confuses who gets reinforced for what and by whom.Secondly, it locates power away from the individual and puts it in the hands of a third-party.Prosperous arrangements of humans dictate that these two principles must be honored. Socialism distorts these conditions and leads to lower productivity and innovation.We discuss these ideas and talk about differences between capitalism and socialism.Clip from: PragerUCapitalism vs. Socialism | 5 Minute VideoFollow Us:YouTubeXFacebookBlueskyAll audio & videos edited by: Jay Prescott Videography

So often, when we hear about computing or computers, we think about disruption—some technological advancement that signals a radical break with all that came before. But what if that's wrong, or at the very least, incomplete? Today's guest, Devin Kennedy, argues that the twentieth-century history of computing is marked just as much by continuity as change—even between eras, like Fordism and post-Fordism, that we usually separate with a bright line. I promise you: it's the only book you'll read this year that'll take you all the way from Taylorism up to the 2010 Wall Street flash crash. Listen on to learn more.  

People who believe capitalism is working out great are just sloppy thinkers who've fallen victim to survivorship bias and the just-world fallacy. Reading by Tim Foley.

We live in a moment when the working class is fractured along a great many lines. Gone are the days of solidarity built around a shared experience of factory work that formed the bedrock of Karl Marx's analysis of class struggle – and his vision of emancipation. Meanwhile in the halls of power, elites in our politics have failed for decades now to really grasp what people in Britain care about and need – resorting to lame stand-ins such as ‘Mondeo man' and ‘Stevenage woman', Farage's new favourite: ‘alarm clock Britain'. What are they missing? Lived experience, apart from anything else. On Downstream this week, Ash Sarkar sat down with campaigner and author Jonas Patrick Marvin to discuss his new book ‘The Breaking of the English Working Class'. Weaving autobiographical detail with political theory, Marvin tackles head-on the class forces that have shaped his own life. Why can't people born in London afford to stay and build lives there? Who gets to define themselves as working class, and on what grounds? How should the left respond to rising anti-immigration politics? Why has the working class become so fragmented, and what can be done to repair it?

Scarcity is part of life. But free people have an extraordinary ability to overcome it.In TWE 179, I explain how free-market capitalism creates abundance through prices, entrepreneurship, competition, innovation, and human ingenuity.From Julian Simon's famous wager to housing, energy, healthcare, AI, and data centers, the lesson is similar: controlling prices doesn't create more supply.Capitalism doesn't eliminate scarcity or guarantee that every price falls. Instead, it creates a discovery process that gives people incentives to solve problems and produce more.The question policymakers should ask isn't simply, “How can government make this cheaper?”It's “What's preventing people from producing more?”#Capitalism #Economics #FreeMarkets #EconomicFreedom

Can conscious leadership survive an era of disruption, geopolitical chaos, and financial pressure? The answer may lie not in better strategy but in how leaders convene, listen, and think together when no one has the answers alone.In this episode of The Conscious Capitalists, hosts Timothy Henry and Raj Sisodia sit down with transformational facilitation pioneer Jon Berghoff to preview the 2025 Conscious Capitalism CEO Summit and its theme, "Leading in Radical Uncertainty." They explore how "conscious convening" — the art of designing meaningful group dialogue — helps CEOs transform uncertainty into collective wisdom, courage, and action.Geopolitical volatility, tariffs, supply chain disruptions, and the rise of AI, quantum computing, and robotics are reshaping leadership faster than most organizations can adapt. Timothy Henry highlights the Summit's three core themes: how leaders show up personally, how organizations build internal trust, and how companies structurally prepare for an unpredictable future. He also previews speakers like Amy Fox, Melanie Del Becco of Torani, Ashley Blumenfeld of Standard Meat, Brie Olsen of PacSun, and Jana Werner's "octopus organization" model.At the heart of the episode is Berghoff's philosophy of conscious convening: collective intelligence outperforms any single expert in the room. He explains how intentional pauses for contemplation, paired with structured peer-to-peer conversations, turn passive audiences into active co-creators — "turning the room into the stage." Drawing on Amy Edmondson's research on psychological safety, he describes how offering equal invitations (not obligations) to speak creates space for CEOs to have honest, vulnerable conversations with peers.Sisodia raises a central tension: awakening to conscious capitalism is one thing; staying awake to it is far harder. He references Eric Ries's "financial gravity" — the pull toward short-term, shareholder-only thinking — and previews his session with Michael Harth on how governance can sustain conscious practices through leadership and ownership changes. The episode concludes with Berghoff's "crucible moments," including formative experiences at Vitamix and a chance meeting with Joseph Jaworski of Royal Dutch Shell, which shaped his belief that leadership is about inviting answers, not having them.Key Highlights:"It's one thing to awaken, it's another to stay awake." Adopting conscious capitalism versus sustaining it under financial pressure.Financial gravity never disappears — it must be managed, not escaped.Psychological safety isn't declared; it's designed through equal invitations to speak."Turning the room into the stage": peer dialogue surfaces insights no single speaker could deliver alone.Vulnerability is an ability, not a liability — emotional connection makes gatherings transformative.Great leaders don't have the answers; they design for them to emerge from anywhere in the room.Resources Mentioned:2026 Conscious Capitalism CEO Summit, "Leading in Radical Uncertainty" — Sept. 8–10, Beaver Creek, CO.Amy Edmondson's research on psychological safety.Eric Ries's "financial gravity" framework.XChange, Berghoff's company, which has trained 26,000+ change agents in conscious convening.Joseph Jaworski (Royal Dutch Shell) and Jodi Berg/Lori Connors (Vitamix) — mentors behind Berghoff's philosophy.Speaker preview: Amy Fox, Melanie Del Becco, Ashley Blumenfeld, Brie Olsen, Jana Werner.About the Guest:Jon Berghoff is a pioneer in transformational facilitation and founder of XChange, which has trained over 26,000 change agents in 50+ countries in the art of conscious convening.

In this episode of A Book with Legs, Cole Smead, CEO and Portfolio Manager at Smead Capital Management, sits down with Adrian Wooldridge to discuss his book, “The Revolutionary Center: The Lost Genius of Liberalism.”Adrian Wooldridge is the global business columnist at Bloomberg News, and previously spent more than twenty years at The Economist, serving as political editor and Washington bureau chief. He is the author of twelve previous books, including “Capitalism in America,” co-written with former Federal Reserve chair Alan Greenspan, and “The Aristocracy of Talent.”The conversation traces the intellectual roots of liberalism, from Erasmus and Hobbes to Mill and Tocqueville, and explores where the philosophy has drifted from its original ideals. Along the way: how the concentration of power in figures like the Mag 7 and today's tech leaders echoes Montesquieu's warnings, how identity politics shifted the unit of analysis from individuals to groups, and what Wooldridge believes must change to recover what he calls “the revolutionary center” before autocracy, fascism, or societal stratification takes hold.“The Revolutionary Center: The Lost Genius of Liberalism,” published by Pegasus Books, is available now.Sign up to be notified about new episodes: https://hubs.ly/Q0452V800

Is Capitalism the Root of All Evil? Financial Trauma, Faith & AI with Rahkim Sabree“A dysregulated person is a profitable one.”What if our relationship with money is telling us something about the systems we live in, the experiences we carry, and what we believe makes a good life?In this episode of Earth Xperiences, I sit down with financial trauma expert, author, speaker, and financial therapist Rahkim Sabree.Rahkim shares how leaving a decade long career in banking eventually led him into financial therapy and the work behind his book, Overcoming Financial Trauma: How to Break Free from Guilt, Build Wealth, and Redefine Success.Our conversation begins with money, but it does not stay there.We explore financial trauma, capitalism, financial literacy, credentials, who gets to be considered an expert, and why simply telling people to budget better can ignore the larger systems shaping their choices.Rahkim makes a provocative declaration during our conversation:“Capitalism is the root of all evil, not money.”So I ask him another question.If capitalism is the root of evil, what is good?His answer is community.From there, we explore what community actually requires, why individual success can still leave people disconnected, and whether the systems designed to help us can sometimes become another form of gatekeeping.We also talk about AI and the possibility that technology could free people from some forms of labor while creating entirely new questions about power, surveillance, inequality, environmental impact, and who ultimately benefits from technological progress.Then the conversation becomes deeply personal.Rahkim shares the story of an intuition telling him to return home shortly before discovering his house on fire. His dog was still inside.That experience leads us into a larger conversation about God, intuition, Islam, fasting, spiritual readings, ancestors, purpose, love, and the experiences Rahkim believes have shaped the work he is here to do.We eventually arrive at one of my favorite ideas from the conversation.What makes us human may be our ability to experience.AI can collect information. It can generate language. It can recognize patterns.But can it ever have an experience?QUESTIONS TO EXPLOREWhat parts of your relationship with money were actually taught to you, and what parts developed through experience?When does a credential protect people, and when can it become a gate around knowledge?Can we criticize capitalism while benefiting from it?If financial success requires someone else to struggle, how should we define success?What does community require beyond simply belonging to a group?Do you believe intuition can tell us something that reason cannot?How do you decide whether a spiritual experience is meaningful, coincidence, or something else?What does love look like when performance, money, status, and expectation are removed?If AI eventually becomes capable of reproducing much of human knowledge, what remains uniquely human?And finally, what do you believe makes a human?ABOUT RAHKIM SABREERahkim Sabree is a financial trauma expert, author, speaker, Accredited Financial Counselor, financial therapist, and Forbes contributor whose work explores money, trauma, culture, systems, and financial healing.CONNECT WITH RAHKIMWebsitehttps://www.rahkimsabree.comInstagram@RahkimSabreeLinkedInhttps://www.linkedin.com/in/rahkimsabree/YouTubehttps://www.youtube.com/rahkimsabreeSubstackhttps://rahkimsabree.substack.comREAD OVERCOMING FINANCIAL TRAUMAOvercoming Financial Trauma: How to Break Free from Guilt, Build Wealth, and Redefine SuccessBook informationhttps://www.rahkimsabree.com/bookAmazonhttps://www.amazon.com/Overcoming-Financial-Trauma-Redefine-Success-ebook/dp/B0FZF5BSRX/

Hosts Brian McWilliams, John Odermatt, and Lou Perez open by mourning the recent passings of Dolly Parton and Tim Curry, celebrating their legendary careers and cultural impact. The main discussion dives into AOC's controversial decision to rejoin the Democratic Socialists of America after years of not paying dues, with the hosts debating the DSA's extreme policy goals and the irony of wealthy "nepo baby" socialists railing against the very capitalism that built their comfortable lives. The conversation shifts to the Lindsay Clancy case, where the hosts criticize both left-wing and right-wing commentators for deflecting personal accountability onto pharmaceutical companies. Florida's first-in-the-nation crackdown on welfare abuse — restricting EBT spending on tattoos, vapes, and theme parks — gets a lively breakdown. The episode closes with a deep dive into college football's NIL chaos, a Penn State fraternity cocaine ring, and announcements for upcoming live shows.

Erald Kolasi returns to the podcast to remind us that AI doesn't simply exist weightlessly in the ephemeral cloud. Drawing on his research into its global energy and emissions impact, Erald traces AI's vast material infrastructure, from mining, semiconductors, water, energy, and logistics to data centers and power generation. His life-cycle analysis reveals a monster-sized ecological footprint, in contrast to conventional estimates that focus narrowly on electricity consumed at data centers.But this goes deeper than technology. Steve and Erald examine AI through the dynamics of capital accumulation, monopoly power, financial speculation, imperialism, and the intimate relationship between corporations and the capitalist state. Its explosive growth reflects decisions about who controls society's resources and what they are used for. The conversation closes by imagining a radically different trajectory: publicly controlled technology directed toward reducing necessary labor and meeting human needs rather than enriching private capital and accelerating ecological destruction. What kind of political economic system would this require?AI is the subject, but capitalism is the story.Erald Kolasi is a writer and researcher focusing on the nexus between energy, technology, economics, complex systems, and ecological dynamics. His book, The Physics of Capitalism, came out from Monthly Review Press in February 2025. He received his PhD in Physics from George Mason University in 2016.

Capitalism has long been credited with driving innovation and prosperity, yet many Americans increasingly believe the system is no longer working for them. Is the problem capitalism itself or the policies surrounding it?

“There's no exit in capitalism.” — Jeremy Adelman Is that ongoing quarrel of modern politics, the battle over capitalism, just a storm in a teacup? Economic historian Jeremy Adelman thinks it might be. In The Capitalist Era, Adelman argues that all camps — left and right, Keynesian and Hayekian, socialist and libertarian — accept the unavoidability of global capitalism. There is no alternative, as Mrs Thatcher used to annoyingly say. Although Adelman, certainly no Thatcherite, isn't celebrating the apparent inevitability of our capitalist epoch. What interests Adelman is the making and unmaking of what he calls the “global mind.” The revolutionary quality of capitalism, he says, is that we now think of strangers as somehow part of our community. So when Adam Smith, the moral philosopher father of economics, drank his Chinese tea while reading of a deadly earthquake in China, he recognized that capitalism inevitably entangled our moral thoughts with our self-interest. It wasn't just economists who began to think differently of strangers. Artists as varied as Picasso, Joseph Conrad, and the photography-obsessed Émile Zola all made this moral inquiry of strangers the heart of their work. Yes, Adelman is probably right to say there's no capitalist off-ramp in our post-global economy. But capitalism's octopus-like “global mind” and its (mis)treatment of strangers should turn all economists into moral philosophers and all artists into observers of economics. Five Takeaways •       The Mind, Not the Material. Against Sven Beckert's material history (which Adelman admired and reviewed in Foreign Affairs), The Capitalist Era studies how we think about capitalism — because the thinking sets the policies, creates the attachments, fuels the wars, and builds the institutions. Capitalism, on his dating, is an eighteenth-century invention that dawns with Adam Smith's “commercial society”: the first economic system to tie strangers across the whole planet into one interdependent web — global from the very start. Its founding text is a thought experiment: Smith's gentleman of humanity, drinking Chinese tea while reading of a Chinese earthquake, asked whether he minds the deaths of thousands as much as the pain in his little finger. The marketplace entangles our moralities — and the question of whether sympathy can keep pace with self-interest has governed the global mind ever since.•       No Exit in Capitalism. For or against? A fair question with a layered answer: we are all heirs to the Marxist tradition — inequality and exploitation are inherent to interdependence, and “the propensity to be predatory coexists with the propensity to be empathetic.” But the trap is real: “there's no exit in capitalism” — leaving is so punitive that every socialist revolution has paid catastrophically, a logic Adelman calls part of “the awful cunning” of the Trump administration's economic statecraft. Keynes versus Hayek? When Andrew suggested it amounted to a family squabble — a storm in a teacup — Adelman largely agreed: both camps accept that we live inside capitalism, arguing only over how to live interdependently. No exit, though, doesn't mean no alternatives: the argument worth recovering — lost since the globalization of the 1980s was “dumped on us” — is which form of interdependence we actually want. Gramsci's interregnum, the time for monsters, is exactly when that argument matters.•       The Veil Between Strangers. The book's gallery: not only philosophers but artists — Picasso, the poets, Borges (“I have a hard time writing any book without” him) — and above all photographers, because how we think about strangers is mediated through media. Smith's verb was to see: the stranger's invisibility was the whole problem, and photography — cheap to reproduce, claiming realism — promised to remove the veil. Zola was obsessed with it; street photography made New York and London legible as cities of vice and poverty; and the Opium War photographs that reached London in the 1860s forced a scandal, because this suffering was inflicted by our own troops. But seeing bred a new problem Smith never foresaw: indifference — too many images numbing the sympathies they were meant to awaken. In today's supersaturation of digital and artificially generated strangers, the early doubters' warning compounds: market interdependence plus growing indifference between the interdependent is “a recipe for calamity.”•       Earth Hunger. The charge that capitalism is eating the planet is as old as capitalism: the era of Hobson's Imperialism named the West's insatiable appetite to conquer and carve — “earth hunger” — after the Boer War. Joseph Conrad and Roger Casement traveled the Congo River together: Conrad turned it into Heart of Darkness; Casement wrote the first great humanitarian reports — rubber for Europe's bicycles and tires, extermination for the Congolese and then Amazonians — before renouncing the crown, joining the Irish rebellion, and hanging for treason. Slavery runs through the same river: on Smith's mind from the start, the plantation bonanza's awkward foundation, with dehumanization as extraction's precondition — a through line to the 1930s. To James Crawford's vanishing earth (last week's episode), Adelman offers a friendly dissent: the earth isn't vanishing, but the accelerating metabolism of resources — extracted inhumanely for those who live there — is stressing the system. Alternatives exist; exit does not.•       Hoard the Returns, Externalize the Burdens. Adelman refuses the apocalypse chorus: end-time arguments breed cynicism — grab what you can while you can — which is precisely what turned the 1930s murderous; and the great debate the 2008 crisis should have sparked was stifled by crisis management that worked too well. “Neoliberalism” he finds overblown — the world is a mixed, messy hybrid, China neither socialist nor neoliberal — and the Thucydides Trap is a “silly metaphor”: Sparta and Athens were never as interdependent as China and the United States. Hence the closing duel: Carney versus Trump as two arguments inside the global mind about how to need strangers. Trump, the Toronto-born historian argues, is no isolationist — his is a global vision that wants to “hoard the returns and externalize the burdens,” punishing the asymmetrically dependent (Canada above all) through a predator's bilateralism whose 1930s pedigree Adelman names with discomfort. And China? Sitting on the sidelines, courting Canada, playing “an old game” of constructing and dividing markets — as old as the global mind itself. About the Guest Jeremy Adelman is the Henry Charles Lea Professor Emeritus at Princeton University and professor of history and director of the Global History Lab at the University of Cambridge.

This week the boys sat down with Dean and Matt from The Magnificast to discuss their new book.  From the editor: Capitalism's excessive patterns of production and consumption are fueling the biggest existential threat to humanity: climate change. The central assumption of our current economic system puts economic growth before all other values. But infinite growth on a finite planet is fundamentally impossible. We must embrace the idea of degrowth. With a name like "degrowth," misunderstandings are easy to come by, like assuming degrowth is about austerity or population control; on the contrary, degrowth means rejecting economic growth as the measure for social progress, such that we might grow other parts of our social life and ourselves. The problem isn't too few resources or too many people; it's capitalism's system of growth. Enough Is Enough argues that the economic and theological directions offered by liberation theology give us a unique paradigm for Christians to question the hegemony of growth. In a moment of climate crisis, Christians can orient themselves according to alternative values rooted in a relationship with creation that sees all creatures as siblings. Degrowth encourages us to expand our imaginations beyond a fixation on growth for growth's sake, to discover ways of organizing our societies according to different values. It's time for us to say, "Enough is enough," and to accept that if we abandon our drive for growth, we will discover there is already enough to go around.   Buy the book from Fortress Press Support The Magnificast

The amount of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere in 2026 is roughly the same as when, in the very, very distant past, the Earth was between 6 and 8 degrees warmer. If the Earth were to reach those temperatures again, the majority of mammals would go extinct. While we're not at those temperatures now, the level of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere could cause the climate to accelerate towards planetary conditions that pre-date the dinosaurs. This is the stark warning of this week's guest, Bill McGuire. A geologist and volcanologist by training, he has spent time as an expert and government advisor on extreme weather events, before becoming an author. According to him, there is no plan for the extreme climactic upheaval that is to come.
