In episode 106 of the [i3] Institutional Investment Podcast, I speak with Craig Dandurand, Chief Investment Officer of the Tuckwell Family Office. Craig has an impressive career in the investment industry that spans time with US pension fund CalPERS and Australia's the Future Fund. We talked about his background in credit investing, setting up a hedge fund program and the world of private wealth. Enjoy the show! Overview of Podcast with Craig Dandurand 01:00 You initially worked in the legal profession. How did you get into investing? 02:00 Starting at CalPERS 03:00 The hedge fund team was the least bureaucratic part of a very bureaucratic organisation 06:30 What has changed in hedge funds compared to 20 years ago? They got more boring 10:00 During the GFC, I remember sitting in a coffee house writing something with a headline that said: ‘Capitalist Manifesto', which is the kind of overblown thing you write in a coffee house. But it resulted in three key aspects we wanted hedge funds to focus on: alignment, control and transparency 15:00 CalPERS was at a scale that led some hedge fund managers not wanting to engage with us 16:00 The optimal size of an asset owner is probably between $5 - 30 bn. 20:00 What was most disorientating coming to Australia was my currency exposure 26:30 Learnings from the COVID-19 crisis 29:30 To do a total portfolio approach well at a large asset owner is an incredible labour intensive exercise 32:00 The Future Fund had a clear investment target, but when you join a family office you need to find out what their needs, values and desires are (pardon the thunder in the background). Before you can invest the money, you need to know why you are doing it 34:00 Graham Tuckwell invented the gold ETF and, therefore, has a good understanding of how markets work 35:30 The concept of ‘ten ETFs and a 9 iron'. Often people confuse complexity for quality 42:00 Catering to different needs and life stages within family offices 48:00 I'm a credit junkie and that probably comes from being a bankruptcy lawyer 49:00 I find the growth of private credit over the last few years fascinating and slightly unnerving 53:00 Best and worst investment: investing in Worldcom bonds

Johan is a staunch defender of globalisation and author of‘ The Capitalist Manifesto' which was boosted into the stratosphere earlier this year with an overwhelming endorsement by Elon Musk when he wrote that the book is an excellent explanation of why capitalism is not just successful, but morally right. 00:00 - Johan Norberg01:35 - Johan's Worldview Influences09:07 - Johan's Rand-ian Fictional Tale10:35 - Johan Know Being A Role Model To Others14:35 - The Elon Musk Effect19:05 - Serendipity24:05 - Will AI Destroy The Labour Market?41:50 - Capitalism Failure To Price In Negative Externality1:02:45 - Globalisation Homogenising Culture1:15:40 - Anxious Generation1:23:55 - Nassim Taleb Influence
This episode fits perfectly into my longer-lasting quest to understand complex societies and how to handle it. I am thrilled about the opportunity to have a conversation with Johan Norberg. The title of our conversation is: How to organise complex societies? Johan Norberg is a bestselling author of multiple books, historian of ideas and senior fellow at the Cato Institute. I read his last two books, Open, The Story of Human Progress and The Capitalist Manifesto. Both are excellent books, I can highly recommend. We will discuss both books in the wider bracket of the challenge how to handle complex societies. The main question we discuss is, how can we handle complex societies? Which approaches work, give people opportunity, freedom and wealth, and which do not work. The question can be inverted too: When systems are more complex, is also more control and commands needed, or the opposite? »The more complex the society, the less it can be organised—the more complex society gets, the more simple rules we need.« Knowledge and power behave differently, as Tom Sowell puts it: “It's much easier to concentrate power than knowledge.” The consequence seems to be: “If we centralise power we loose knowledge” We talk about the historic background of the idea of liberty, for instance John Stewart Mills On liberty, Friedrich Hayek Road to Serfdom. Did we lose our desire for liberty? The Austrian philosopher Konrad Paul Liessmann observes: “Dass das Volk nicht herrschen kann, sondern erzogen, belehrt, bevormundet und mehr oder weniger sanft in die richtige Richtung gedrängt werden soll, ist überall spürbar. Die ubiquitäre pädagogische Sprache ist verräterisch.” “The fact that the people cannot rule, but are to be educated, instructed, patronised and more or less gently pushed in the right direction, can be felt everywhere. The ubiquitous pedagogical language is treacherous.” How then, should we think about liberty and responsibility? “There is only one basic human right, the right to do as you damn well please. And with it comes the only basic human duty, the duty to take the consequences.”, P. J. O'Rourke. That might be an uncomfortable truth for some, though. Freedom has consequences and responsibilities! The trend of the last decades points to a different direction. Every minute detail seems to be regulated by someone who allegedly knows better: “Large projects are essentially illegal in California and in Europe”, Elon Musk The consequence is, as I have discussed in previous episodes, stagnation since many decades. Follow the links below to other episodes. Now, did we become an old, risk-averse, dying society? This would not be good news because: “With innovation comes the risk of failure” And the uncomfortable truth is: Our desire to reduce risks might actually increase risks. “If we are saying that we should not accept anything until it is perfectly safe, that's the most unsafe and risky bet we could do.” How can we muddle out of this mess? “Nothing comes from a committee, nothing from a single genius fully developed. Innovation comes from a process of experiments, trial and error, feedback and adaptation, changes and more people getting involved.” There is no such thing as an immaculate conception of a new technology. But what about volatility? Is volatility a risk? For whom? The individual, society? Is societal risk decreasing when we reduce volatility? What does Johan mean by openness, and why is it Important? “Openness for me means openness to surprises. This is the only way for societies to thrive and function long term. […] Historically, life was nasty, brutish, and short. We need new things. We need new knowledge, new technological capacity and wealth.” So why did the industrial revolution happen in the West? What is the connection to openness? What can we learn about control in societies? “Societies have to be decentralised not top down controlled.” But Mervyn King discusses in his excellent book Radical Uncertainty the fact, that we cannot predict the future. What happens with innovation that we cannot predict? “Under open institutions, people will solve more problems than they create.” Moreover, the opposite is not true. Not innovating does not reduce risk: “If we would do nothing, we would also be surprised by unpredictable developments. […] We solved the problems that were existential and created better problems and level up. […] I prefer those problems to the ones that made life nasty, brutish and short.” In Europe, the precautionary principle is in high regard. Does it work, or is it rather a complete failure of epistemology? But what about capitalism? Has it failed us or is it the saviour? Does the Matthew principle speak against capitalism? “Elites have an interest to protect the status quo” which is a reason why free markets were blocked in many societies. This does not speak against free markets, but rather is an argument for free markets. Is the idea of capitalism and free markets more difficult to grasp on a psychological level? Socialist ideas sound nice (when you are in a family or small group) but they do not scale. And even worse, if you try to scale them, do they create the opposite of the desired effect? In a society, we are the kids, and we have other ideas than some authoritarian figure, and we have the right to our ideas. “The only way to organise a complex society of strangers with different interests and different ideas and different vantage points on the world is not to control it, but instead give them the freedom to act according to their own individual creativity and dreams. […] You can get rich that way, but only by enriching others.” Moreover, the distribution problem evidently is not solved by top-down political concepts. In authoritarian systems, poverty is equally distributed, but the elites still enrich themselves. But is trade and economy not used as a weapon on an international scale? How does that fit together, and does that not open up massive risks when we stick to free markets? “If goods don't cross borders, soldiers will.” Why is diversification, important, and how to reach it? What happened in Argentina, a very timely question after the new presidency of Javier Milei. “Argentina should be a memento mori for all of us. […] 100 years ago, Argentina was one of the richest countries of the planet. It had the future going for it”. […] If Argentina can fail, so can we, if we make the wrong decisions.” There are countries on every continent that make rapid progress. What do they have in common? At the end of the day, this is a hopeful message because wealth and progress can happen everywhere. Since the turn of the millennium, almost 140,000 people have been lifted out of extreme poverty every day. For more than 20 years. Where did that happen and why? What can we learn from Javier Milei? “I am an incredible optimist once I gaze away from politics and look at society.” How can we repay the debt to previous generations that gave us the living standards we enjoy today?

But these apps “make my life easier,” I push back,“Convenience matters!” “But privacy is important,” explains Brockwell. "The government is purchasing all this data about us. They're creating records about all of us, and that's a really scary thing.” "That data is forever … You have no control over what societal norms might change in the next 10 years and that data suddenly becomes incriminating. You're basically making a bet that you and the people with the guns will always stay on good terms.” In my video above, she explains why that's not a good bet to make. . ———— To get our new weekly video from Stossel TV, sign up here: https://www.johnstossel.com/#subscribe ———— https://youtu.be/rVsKWQp-sq4?si=5KWca35e1w7NCp8G Capitalism and Loneliness: What The Media Get WRONG John Stossel 893K subscribers 132,003 views Nov 28, 2023 Scaremongers tell us: capitalism makes us "feel lonely" and "empty inside." But Johan Norberg's new book, The Capitalist Manifesto, points out the many ways capitalism makes life better, including making people LESS lonely. ———— To get our new weekly video from Stossel TV, sign up here: https://www.johnstossel.com/#subscrib ———— "Every poll we're looking at shows that people say that they're less lonely in the most market-oriented societies,” Norberg tells me. The Human Freedom Index ranks countries according to how free, and market-oriented they are. Not only are people less lonely in capitalist countries, but Norberg points out that "if you increase freedom by one point, you reduce loneliness levels by six percentage points.” But I tell Norberg, "Under capitalism, people compete. Sounds divisive. Sounds like it would pull us apart.” "Feudalism, communism, fascism... that's divisive. That's all based on getting resources by taking them from somebody else. What capitalism does is that it forces us to think, 'what does the other guy want?'” says Norberg. That's because, under capitalism, to sell someone something, you have to please them.

But their handouts harm the very people they are meant to help. “We've spent more on the war on poverty than all the military wars combined in the United States without any success.” The result? Increased dependency on government! Expanding the welfare system seems to be the government's main goal.

It was maybe not done with evil intentions. It was done with the misguided notion that gain of function research was safe.” Gain of function research includes making viruses more deadly or infectious, in order to develop vaccines. Paul argues that gain of function is a risk to civilization. :We could wind up with a lethal virus that leaks out of a lab and kills half of the planet."

The newest rules will raise the cost of new trucks by more than $50,000. The regulators say these rules are important to stop pollution. That's dumb, says Wanner, “In 1980, 1 truck produced as much as 60 trucks today.” “So, we want people to buy new trucks,” I ask? “You want people to buy new trucks,” responds Wanner. “But if you put these costs on us that we cannot afford, we're going to just run the older trucks.” That's something the regulators don't think about. In fact, there's a lot they don't think about. Their decision hurts truck sellers, won't stop pollution, could be unconstitutional, and will only get more expensive when California mandates "all electric."

BIO: Johan Norberg is an author, lecturer, and historian of ideas from Stockholm, Sweden. His books on economics, politics, and history have been translated into more than 30 languages.STORY: Johan talks about capitalism and why it's important.LEARNING: We should never lose sight of the benefits of capitalism. Capitalism is about peace, trust, and voluntary exchange, not war. “No matter what your long-term objective is, it's better to be wealthy using resources in an effective manner and being more productive.”Johan Norberg Guest profileJohan Norberg is an author, lecturer, and historian of ideas from Stockholm, Sweden. His books on economics, politics, and history have been translated into more than 30 languages.In today's episode, Johan discusses capitalism and its importance. Johan recently published his latest book, The Capitalist Manifesto. Like the title, the book is brilliant! Elon Musk said: “This book is an excellent explanation of why capitalism is not just successful, but morally right, especially chapter 4.” Have we lost sight of the benefits of capitalism?Without free markets and free trade, we'd probably be nowhere because it was only with the advent of higher productivity, open global markets, and free enterprise. Remember that when you give people more freedom to seek out opportunities to innovate, develop new business models, and exchange their best with the best of others, you have the machinery to reduce poverty and hunger worldwide.We must never forget this process because once people reach a certain threshold, they take wealth, opportunities, and technologies for granted and forget where they came from. This happens to many countries worldwide, electing the populace who use wealth without realizing that it's not a pile of cash that happens to lie around.If we were to stop producing and innovating and start consuming and redistributing the wealth already on the planet, all of it would be gone in around four years. So wealth has to be created every day by hard work.Can government and capitalism co-exist?For your business to make a profit, you must make all the other groups happy. You have to satisfy your customers by giving them something they value more than the money they hand you. You must also pay your workers, suppliers, and those who lent you money. Then, and only then, if you made all these groups happy, and there's something left for you, which will be heavily taxed, can you make a profit. The bigger your profit, the more good you've done to society.However, some profit is made not by competing over having the best goods and services but by having good connections with politicians and governments. They get subsidies and tariff protection from governments picking taxpayers' pockets and handing them to businesses. That's the opposite of a free market and capitalism—cronyism. It's a horrible thing that can only end by stopping politicians from entering the game of business, picking winners, and deciding who gets what.Unfortunately, the future has no lobbyists, business organizations, or trade unions to defend them, only the incumbents and the old alternatives who constantly tailor all the regulations and policies to their needs and demands. Johan says the natural history of business regulation is always that you have, at first, a...

Is capitalism failing humanity? On the contrary, Johan Norberg, author of The Capitalist Manifesto argues that it is the recipe to a more sustainable and prosperous future. We discuss the varying attitudes towards capitalism, including from the political lens of right and left, as well as the generational perceptions at play, and why he thinks capitalism is the antidote for climate change.
Will free markets save the world? In this video, IEA Head of Political Economy Kristian Niemietz sits down with Swedish author and historian of ideas Johan Norberg. In his latest book, Norberg argues that large sections of the political and economic establishment talk about the global economy as a geopolitical zero-sum game, where we have to fight to control new innovations, and introduce trade barriers. He states the case for capitalism and the vital role played by the free market in today's uncertain world.

To learn more about Dr. Bernstein (whose books include The Capitalist Manifesto, Why Johnny Still Can't Read or Write or Understand Math, and The Truth About Climate Change), visit his website: andrewbernstein.net.
Globalization has come under fire over the past two decades as the world has lived through an international financial crisis, terrorist attacks, a pandemic, and the return of war in Europe. Johan Norberg will explain why, despite such turmoil, the free market has still made the past 20 years the best time in human history by almost any measure of well‐being. He will discuss why trade protectionism, industrial policy, and other proposals from the left and the right are mistakes that should not be repeated. The market, a system based on cooperation and exchange, still offers the best way to address and think about current issues, including the rise of China, the role of Big Tech, and inequality. Chris Griswold will provide a critique of markets from a conservative perspective and suggest policies to limit globalization. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Join us as we dive deep into the intricate world of philosophy. In this episode, Professor Andrew Bernstein returns to continue their exploration of the heroes and villains of philosophy, focusing on the controversial figures of Hegel, Marx, and the rise of postmodernism. Professor Bernstein, a distinguished Objectivist philosopher and author of acclaimed works like "Heroes, Legends, and Champions" and "The Capitalist Manifesto," offers his profound insights on these influential thinkers. The discussion begins with Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel, a philosopher whose complex ideas have left an enduring impact. Hegel's beliefs in the subordination of individuals to the state and the collective thinking in 19th century Germany paved the way for ideologies like socialism and communism. Professor Bernstein scrutinises Hegel's views, highlighting the dangerous implications of his philosophy for individual rights and freedom. The conversation then turns to Karl Marx, whose ideas have reverberated throughout history. Marx's deterministic universe, denial of morality, and concept of exploitation come under the microscope. Professor Bernstein dissects Marx's definition of capitalism and the fundamental flaws in his understanding of wealth creation, entrepreneurship, and the role of the human mind in economic prosperity. The episode also delves into the divide created by Marx between workers and entrepreneurs, which ultimately led to the forceful implementation of communism. Professor Bernstein explains the economic consequences of communism and its detrimental impact on wealth creation. Transitioning to the realm of postmodernism, the discussion explores how this ideology, often described as Marxism on steroids, has permeated modern culture. The concept of subjective truth and the rise of "woke" culture are examined in detail. In a world where truth has become subjective and malleable, Professor Bernstein emphasises the importance of objective truth, a concept championed by the heroic Ayn Rand. Tune in to this intellectually stimulating conversation as we unravel the philosophical threads of Hegel, Marx, and postmodernism, while highlighting the significance of objective truth on "The Rational Egoist."Michael Leibowitz is a renowned philosopher, political activist, and the esteemed host of the Rational Egoist podcast. Inspired by the philosophical teachings of Ayn Rand, Leibowitz passionately champions the principles of reason, rational self-interest, and individualism, seeking to empower others through his compelling work.His life's narrative exemplifies the transformative power of Ayn Rand's writings. Having faced challenging circumstances that led to a 25-year prison sentence, Leibowitz emerged from adversity by embracing the tenets of rational self-interest and moral philosophy put forth by Ayn Rand. Leibowitz is a versatile author, co-authoring the thought-provoking book titled "Down the Rabbit Hole: How the Culture of Correction Encourages Crime." This groundbreaking work delves into societal attitudes surrounding punishment and rehabilitation, shedding light on how misguided approaches have contributed to the rise of crime and recidivism.Additionally, he has authored the book "View from a Cage: From Convict to Crusader for Liberty," offering an intimate portrayal of his personal journey while exploring the philosophies that influenced his transformation.

Let's abandon the usual bullet points and instead provide a few relevant links. The lads sit down with Swedish writer and historian Johan Norberg to discuss his forthcoming book The Capitalist Manifesto; his report on Sweden's Covid response; his almost-a-book The Mirage of Swedish Socialism: The Economic History of a Welfare State; and that time, twenty years ago, when he first came across Moynihan wandering around Stockholm, clutching a book about filthy commies.

Welcome back to another riveting episode of "Analysing Philosophy's Fault Lines." Host Michael Leibowitz engages in a compelling conversation with the renowned Professor Andrew Bernstein, a distinguished Objectivist philosopher and author of influential works like "Heroes, Legends, and Champions" and "The Capitalist Manifesto." This episode casts a discerning eye on Emmanuel Kant's complex philosophical stance, diving deep into the contradictions and implications of his ideas.Professor Bernstein brings his insightful analysis to bear as he dissects Kant's philosophy, highlighting the perplexing aspects of his worldview. Kant, often hailed as a towering figure in philosophy, is also viewed with skepticism due to the contradictions that permeate his ideas. Professor Bernstein masterfully guides us through the intricacies of Kant's reasoning, exposing the potential pitfalls of a philosophy that undermines the power of reason.One of the most striking aspects of Kant's philosophy is his notion that individuals exist as sacrificial lambs, driven by duty to others without room for personal reward or happiness. This belief, as elucidated by Professor Bernstein, raises important questions about the nature of human action and the role of altruism. Delve into a critical examination of Kant's philosophy and its implications. Discover how his ideas have impacted various ideologies, including Marxism, communism, fascism, and altruistic-based concepts. Professor Bernstein's insights unveil the connections between Kant's thinking and the broader socio-political landscape, shedding light on the origins of ideologies that prioritise sacrifice over individual rights and happiness.Join us for an intellectually stimulating exploration of Kant's philosophy, its contradictions, and its societal ramifications. Gain a deeper understanding of the foundations of altruism and sacrifice as we dissect the thought-provoking ideas on "Analysing Philosophy's Fault Lines."

Rich Dad Radio Show: In-Your-Face Advice on Investing, Personal Finance, & Starting a Business
On September 29, 1959, Nikita Khrushchev said, “Your children's children will live under communism. You Americans are so gullible. No, you won't accept communism outright, but we will keep feeding you small doses of socialism until you will finally wake up and find you already have Communism. We will not have to fight you; We will so weaken your economy until you will fall like overripe fruit into our hands.” George Gammon takes over the host seat in this special episode of The Rich Dad Radio Show to interview Robert Kiyosaki about how he sees the United States slipping into Communism. Robert Kiyosaki, the best-selling author of the book Rich Dad Poor Dad, says, “Marx's complaint is that capitalism will turn the bottom half into poverty, how capitalism will screw employees and those in the S-quadrant via taxes.” George Gammon, the host of the Rebel Capitalist podcast says, “Our economy is completely dependent on the asset prices that are in the 401k, so if the 401k crashes as a result of assets, that means the entire economy crashes and that goes back to what Marx was saying.” Listen as George Gammon and Robert Kiyosaki swap seats to discuss the release of Robert's latest book, Capitalist Manifesto, and how many of Marx's “predictions” in Communist Manifesto are coming true.

One of the reasons the National Post is in decline is because it has become a newspaper more focused on pleasing the powers that be, and applying for government grants, rather than doing great journalism in the interests of its viewers. GUEST: Dr. Teresa Pierre of Parents As First Educators
Episode: 150 Robert Kiyosaki Join your host David Pere and Alex Felice in this golden episode with the one-and-only Robert Kiyosaki as he talks about Rich Dad, Poor Dad's core message on freedom, together with what can be expected from his newly released book Capitalist Manifesto: How Entrepreneurs Can Save Capitalism. Twenty-five years later, here, Robert explains to us the logic behind "Cashflow 101," the board game he released in 1996, and how it explains the concept of life on the fast track. Of course, when you're in school, all that you're made to focus on are income and expenses. But in reality, the eyes' of the wealthy aren't set on those. In this episode, Robert talks about his life growing up as a punky surfer kid in Hawaii, his opinions on pessimism and optimism, what he learned during his years as a helicopter pilot, why he just can't trust the dollar, and the reason why he came up with the book Capitalist Manifesto. Real freedom is freedom from job security! About Robert Kiyosaki: Robert has been heralded as a visionary who has a gift for simplifying complex concepts—ideas related to money, investing, finance, and economics—and has shared his personal journey to financial freedom in ways that resonate with audiences of all ages and backgrounds. His point of view is that the "old advice"—go to school, get a job, save money, get out of debt, invest for the long term, and diversify—has become obsolete advice in today's fast-paced, ever-changing world. His Rich Dad philosophies and messages challenge the status quo, and his teachings encourage people to take the initiative to become financially educated and financially free. Robert is the author of 27 books, including two books with Donald Trump, prior to him becoming President of the United States. Robert has been a featured guest with media outlets in every corner of the world. He is the host of the Rich Dad Radio Show podcast, a world-renowned speaker, and a life-long student. *Episode Sponsor* The No B.S.

Kiyosaki Predicts "The whole market, including Bitcoin, gold, stocks, is about to face a serious crash in October, said Robert Kiyosaki, best-selling author of “Rich Dad Poor Dad” with KitcoTV.com. (Contact Western Capital Media at guests@KitcoTv.com ) Kiyosaki explained the factors in the economy that have been leading up to this upcoming crash, and highlighted the severity of the market downturn that's to come. “It's going to be the biggest crash in world history. We have never had this much debt pumped up. Debt is the biggest problem of all…the debt to GDP ratio is out of sync. So when it comes down, and it's going to bring everything down with it, that's when I'm going to be buying more gold, silver, and Bitcoin,” Kiyosaki said. “The S&P 500 is really the S&P 7 and it's being held up by Secretary of the Treasury Yellen and [Fed Chair] Powell. There's no correlation between the economy and what Yellen and Powell are doing.” He stressed that this market crash will see prices rebound afterward, and noted that this could be a good buying opportunity, but only for certain assets. “I'm a little strange in that I like crashes. This next crash is going to be really, really good - it will bring down gold, Bitcoin, stocks, but the good news is a crash is a good time to get rich,” he said, adding that he is long-term still bullish on non-equity assets. “That's why I'm optimistic, and I'm very optimistic on gold, silver, and Bitcoin, not on stocks.” Kiyosaki's comments come as the House votes this week on a bill to suspend the U.S. debt ceiling. If Congress fails to come to an agreement before the October 18 deadline to raise the debt ceiling, the government will risk a default on its existing debt obligations, something that is unprecedented. Kiyosaki said that the same forces that have artificially propped up the equity markets, namely the expansion of the money supply, have also created a debt bubble. He added that inflation is unlikely to be persistent. “The big debate is [whether there] is there inflation or deflation. Historically... the nominal debt to GDP is a correlation of M2, the volume of money, and the velocity of money. The reason that Yellen and Powell are scrambling is because they've expanded M2, so everybody thinks there's going to be inflation, but the velocity of money is plummeting. People are not spending. So, they pump all this money in, prices go up…so it is transitory inflation. But the problem is we're stuck with this massive debt and all it's done is bump up the stock market and real estate market. The money has not gone into the economy. That's the sad part,” he said. Kiyosaki's upcoming book, “The Capitalist Manifesto,” touches on social-economic developments in the U.S., writing that that the government is exercising more totalitarian control measures of the populace. In particular, a central bank digital currency in the U.S. would be “fascist”, he said. “I'm afraid of the Fed Coin than anything else. It will be total control on the economy and our lives. They'll monitor everything we do and how we spend our money. Our freedom will be gone,” he said. --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/changeyourmindandlife/message

He is the author of numerous books, including “The Capitalist Manifesto: The Historic, Economic and Philosophic Case for Laissez-Faire,” and his most recent, “Heroes, Legends, Champions: Why Heroism Matters.” He lectures all over the world on myriad topics.

Join Dr. Carlos as he discusses capitalism with Dr. Wolfram. Gary Wolfram is the William E. Simon Professor in Economics and Public Policy at Hillsdale College. He is also president of the Hillsdale Policy Group, a consulting firm specializing in taxation and policy analysis.Product DescriptionThe Communist Manifesto of 1848-the blueprint for modern totalitarian government-promises utopia but delivers dictatorship, poverty and misery everywhere its tried. Yet many of the tenets of this ideology endure among leftist thinkers, despite repeated and universal failure. The question is why? In A Capitalist Manifesto, Gary Wolfram answers that question with a clear explanation of the only economic system compatible with individual liberty, social justice and freedom: Capitalism. From barter to free markets, Wolfram explains the nature of money, the creation of wealth and the brilliance of a system based not on the state but rather on millions of unique individuals deciding what is best.
Join Ed Encho, Gottlieb and I tonight at 6pm EDT on Wild Wild Left Radio, via BlogtalkRadio. There is much to talk about before our Holiday Break for the 4th! Hope to see you all there and participating. Israel & upping the ante against the settlements: The U.N., EU, and Russia joined the US today demanding an end. We will update on the Iranian civil unrest, then move on to the meat of our show: Capitalism (is it working?) and Health Care. (is there a chance?) Wow, huge subjects. We will dutifully be avoiding the tabloid sex, celebrity and insanity, but who can tell? We are only human after all, and all three committed smart asses.
