Podcasts about free markets

David is joined by the brilliant and thoughtful economist Dr. Alex Salter for a discussion on liberty and virtue and the aim of human dignity. This is a theological, economic, and historical conversation you will find engaging.

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.

Description:In this episode of the Explaining History podcast, we embark on a journey through modern economic history, tracing the evolution of global free markets from the height of Victorian Britain to the transformative concepts of Francis Fukuyama's "End of History." Drawing insights from the seminal work "False Dawn: The Delusions of Global Capitalism" by renowned scholar John Gray, we delve deep into the intricate web of economic, political, and social forces that have shaped our world.This episode guides us through a narrative that illuminates the critical junctures, key figures, and paradigm-shifting events that have defined the trajectory of global capitalism. With a keen focus on historical context and nuanced analysis, we examine the rise of free markets during the 19th century, their role in the world wars, and their triumph during the late 20th century.John Gray's incisive critique serves as our compass, challenging us to reconsider the assumptions that underpin the global capitalist system. As we explore the promises and pitfalls of unrestricted markets, we question whether Fukuyama's vision of "The End of History" has truly come to pass or if it remains an elusive goal.Whether you're a history enthusiast, an economics buff, or simply curious about the forces that have shaped our modern world, this episode offers a captivating exploration of global free markets' tumultuous journey, underpinned by the invaluable insights of John Gray's "False Dawn." Join us on this intellectual odyssey as we navigate the complex terrain of capitalism's evolution and its enduring impact on our lives.Here's a link to the Explaining History Buy me a coffee page, any and all donations gratefully accepted.

David is joined this week by economic historian Amity Shlaes for a discussion on her new project, "New Deal Rebels," an anthology of anti-New-Deal writings done during the actual New Deal. Defenders of free enterprise and a constitutional republic would be wise to understand the era that seemed to deeply transform the state's relationship to the economy in American life. Many will find the connections to challenges and conversations of today eerie. If you are more inclined to federalism and market prosperity than you are to the “appeal to vanity” that is New-Deal thinking, this is a podcast episode for you!

Larry Fink, CEO of Blackrock, has made great gains in recent years in pushing America down a path of Chinese-style communism. How so? He forces his far left ideology on the free market by insisting businesses within his fund abide by his ESG goals -- environmental, social, governance -- or face shunning. It's a sort of shadow government that's been operating under the radar of many in America, turning the U.S. capitalistic system into a tool of communism and Marxism. Larry Fink seems to think he's king of the world. But good news: Republicans are pushing back. And winning. Will Hild, executive director of Consumers' Ressearch, has the inside scoop on how bad Blackrock is for America, how great it is for China, and now, under rising GOP backlash, how bad Fink's ESG designs are faring.

According to the editors at The Economist, “Republicans used to extol the benefits of free trade and free markets,” but now, many support barriers to international trade, generous government spending, and condemn corporate America. At least part of the shift is corporate America's leftward lurch, especially the trend to enlist the marketplace in woke causes while threatening the freedom of speech.   Still, the urge to paint capitalism as the root of all evil is misguided. As civic education in the U.S. declines, fewer Americans on the left and the right understand how much better free markets are than every other alternative. Capitalism aligns better with the human condition than other systems, especially in seeing people as not only “consumers” but also “producers.” Not merely as problems to be solved but as the best potential to solve the problems.  That's why the market has lifted more people out of poverty than any other system in history. Throwing that away would be a serious mistake. 

Steve Forbes explains why protectionism and attacks on foreign trade are misguided—and why we need to remember that moving away from robust international trading will ultimately harm our economy.Steve Forbes shares his What's Ahead Spotlights each Tuesday, Thursday and Friday.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Thursday, August 31st, 2023   Kurt Andersen is a prolific writer and author of Evil Geniuses: The Unmaking of America: A Recent History. We discuss the conservative playbook to move our society culturally, economically, and politically to the right, and why continuous civic engagement and investment in Americans can restore basic fairness.   Influential conservatives capitalized on a wave of cultural nostalgia after the turbulent 1960s to turn the American economy into a version of extreme capitalism. Together with neoliberalism from the left, the New Deal was replaced by the raw deal. The US government has provided funding for many of the greatest inventions of the last century, like in pharmaceuticals and in technology. If the government acted like a private investor, it would have more funds to invest in communities and also to support more innovation.    Follow Kurt on Twitter:  https://twitter.com/KBAndersen    Follow Mila on Twitter:  https://twitter.com/milaatmos    Follow Future Hindsight on Instagram:  https://www.instagram.com/futurehindsightpod/   Love Future Hindsight?

Captains of industry and political pundits who believe the free market economy will save us all love to cite 18th-century social thinker Adam Smith and his book The Wealth of Nations. In it, he championed self-interest and a free market as a catalyst for societal improvement. But he also assumed those with the power and privilege would consider the needs of others within that free market system. Somewhere along the way, his ideas around empathy and moral obligation got stripped away from his economic philosophy. See, back then, the lines were blurred between economists, social thinkers, and philosophers. Today, I talk with Sam Fleischacker, an expert on Adam Smith, to clarify what Smith really thought about a free market and our responsibilities to society within it. We also talk about what is distinctive about Smith's conception of empathy in his own time and how it squares with today. Sam shares how empathy affects Smith's proposals for economic policy, what he had to say about our tendency to empathize more with people we already know and care for than for people very distant from us, and the big question: Should we try to empathize with people we think are evil? To access the episode transcript, please click on the episode title at www.TheEmpathyEdge.comKey Takeaways:Judgment isn't always negative and, in some cases, it can be used to form connections - such as admiring strength of character or showing sensitivity.  Consuming art, literature, documentary and other stories of people that have different lives from you is a way to stretch your brain and think more empathetically. You must empathize with people you don't agree with, even those who you consider evil. If you want to have any hope of changing them, you need to do that. You don't have to approve of it, but you have to at least try to understand them. Empathy and criticism are not incompatible.  "Smith is very much about thinking about what everybody wants, from their own perspective, that is to say, empathizing with them. And I think that's gotten badly lost on both the left and the right in public policy." —  Sam Fleischacker About Sam Fleischacker, LAS Distinguished Professor of PhilosophySam Fleischacker is LAS Distinguished Professor of Philosophy at the University of Illinois in Chicago.  He works on moral and political philosophy, and the philosophy of religion. He is the author of nine books, including Adam Smith, Being Me Being You:  Adam Smith and Empathy, A Third Concept of Liberty:  Judgment and Freedom in Kant and Adam Smith, and On Adam Smith's Wealth of Nations:  A Philosophical Companion.  He was President of the International Adam Smith Society from 2006 to 2010.References Mentioned:Edwin Rutsch, The Empathy Edge podcast: How Empathy Circles Can Change the WorldDavid Weissman, The Empathy Edge podcast: From MAGA to Jewish Liberal ProgressiveMARIA'S COURSELearn more about Maria's new Brand Story Breakthrough course, starting September 8.
