Podcast appearances and mentions of marian tupy

Tyler Cowen joins Marian Tupy to discuss the New Right, the relationship between freedom and progress, and whether classical liberalism is equipped to meet today's political challenges.

Marian Tupy speaks with writer and political thinker Matt Johnson about historicism, progress, and how tribalism and the “desire for recognition” are testing the foundations of open societies.

Scott Lincicome joins Marian Tupy to discuss how President Trump's trade policies will affect American prosperity, national security, government revenue, and industry.

Jon Moynihan, a businessman, author, and life peer, joins Marian Tupy to discuss why economic growth matters and how the UK and other social democracies can avoid financial collapse, economic stagnation, and long-term deterioration in living standards.

Host Gene Tunny discusses significant economic issues from the year. He features clips from interviews with experts on various topics, including the economic consequences of Donald Trump's re-election, the U.S. budget deficit, the gender pay gap, and environmental impact. President Reagan's budget director David Stockman criticizes Trump's policies for being anti-capitalist, citing a $8 trillion increase in public debt. Fiscal policy wonk Dan Mitchell argues that higher taxes are not the solution to the U.S. budget deficit, as spending is the primary issue. Leonora Risse (Assoc. Prof., University of Canberra) explains the concept of "greedy jobs" contributing to the gender pay gap. Marion Tupy of the Cato Institute discusses the long-term decline in commodity prices, and Daniel Lawse of Verdis Group emphasizes the need for sustainable, long-term thinking in business and policy. Daniel also reflects on the modest lifestyle of Warren Buffett, another Omaha resident. John August discusses the impact of immigration on Australia's housing crisis.If you have any questions, comments, or suggestions for Gene, please email him at contact@economicsexplored.com.Timestamps for EP265Introduction (0:00)David Stockman (6:20)Dan Mitchell (11:20)Leonora Risse (23:50)Marian Tupy (32:15)Daniel Lawse (41:49)John August (48:06)Links relevant to the conversationEpisodes featuring the clips:https://economicsexplored.com/2024/01/28/reagans-budget-boss-david-stockman-on-trumps-economic-policies-ep224/https://economicsexplored.com/2024/04/17/is-uncle-sam-running-a-ponzi-scheme-with-the-national-debt-w-dr-dan-mitchell-ep235/https://economicsexplored.com/2024/03/10/the-gender-pay-debate-understanding-the-factors-behind-the-gap-w-dr-leonora-risse-ep230/https://economicsexplored.com/2024/10/16/abundance-mindset-exploring-the-super-abundance-thesis-w-marian-tupy-cato-institute-ep258/https://economicsexplored.com/2024/06/01/helping-seattle-aquarium-others-go-to-net-zero-and-beyond-w-daniel-lawse-verdis-group-ep242/https://economicsexplored.com/2024/04/17/housing-crisis-and-immigration-australias-tough-choices-w-john-august-ep236/Leonora's review of Career and Family: Women's Century-Long Journey toward Equity, by Claudia Goldinhttps://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/abs/10.1111/1475-4932.12716?domain=author&token=UPATKK2WTIAEZ49UMRMVPrinciple of Charity podcast episodes on degrowth:https://podcasts.apple.com/au/podcast/can-degrowth-save-the-planet/id1571868650?i=1000674757240https://podcasts.apple.com/au/podcast/can-degrowth-save-the-planet-pt-2-on-the-couch/id1571868650?i=1000675655623Lumo Coffee promotion10% of Lumo Coffee's Seriously Healthy Organic Coffee.Website: https://www.lumocoffee.com/10EXPLOREDPromo code: 10EXPLORED Full transcripts are available a few days after the episode is first published at www.economicsexplored.com.

Marian Tupy, a senior fellow at the Cato Institute, discusses his book "Super Abundance" with Gene Tunny. Tupy argues that resources are becoming more abundant relative to global population, a concept he calls "super abundance." He explains that human ingenuity has led to cheaper commodities over time. Tupy refutes Malthusian predictions of resource scarcity, citing examples like the Haber-Bosch process for synthetic fertilizer. He also addresses environmental concerns, emphasizing that economic growth and technological advancements can mitigate issues like ocean and air pollution and resource depletion.If you have any questions, comments, or suggestions for Gene, please email him at contact@economicsexplored.com  or send a voice message via https://www.speakpipe.com/economicsexplored. About this episode's guest: Marian Tupy, Cato InstituteMarian L.

Regular readers of my blog know I took a course, Conservatism 101, from the Leadership Institute, which led me to read conservative literature I hadn't before: Edmund Burke, Frederic Bastiat, Friedrich Hayek, Russell Kirk, and more. This reading came after I started reading and watching Milton Friedman, Julian Simon, Ayn Rand, and current followers of their work like Marian Tupy, Gale Pooley, and Alex Epstein. I had blogged about them after reading their works too. I began seeing relevance of their work to sustainability that I don't think even their fans appreciate.At a social event, I met a woman who works at the Cato Institute. I told her of what I was learning and invited her to talk about it. She said sustainability and the environment weren't her focus, but she could put me in touch with colleagues. She knew Jack Spencer from the Heritage Foundation.I share some of my background, generally left politics, but opening up to learning more from (podcast guest) Jonathan Haidt's work, then attending an event at the Trump Bedminster Golf Course, which led to learning about the Leadership Institute. There I took Conservatism 101, which led the above.Jack shares some of his background, also not starting on the political right, and how he applies the above to politics today, especially energy, regulation, subsidy, and the motivations of government employees and what he sees happen as they gain power.We don't reach the point of talking policy. I started to bring up the Spodek Method, but became so engrossed in Jack's sharing about nature, I followed up with it, especially wondering if he experienced environmentalists saying he didn't care. He clearly cares plenty about the environment.This conversation is different than nearly any I've heard on sustainability. I think you'll like it. My main flaw was my inexperience in talking about some topics so was tongue-tied at times.Jack's profile at Heritage Foundation Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Generations of people have been taught that population growth makes resources scarcer. In 2021, for example, one widely publicized report argued, “The world's rapidly growing population is consuming the planet's natural resources at an alarming rate … the world currently needs 1.6 Earths to satisfy the demand for natural resources … [a figure that] could rise to 2 planets by 2030.” But is that true?After analyzing the prices of hundreds of commodities, goods, and services spanning two centuries, Marian Tupy and Gale Pooley found that resources became more abundant as the population grew. That was especially true when they looked at “time prices,” which represent the length of time that people must work to buy something.To their surprise, the authors also found that resource abundance increased faster than the population―a relationship that they call “superabundance.” On average, every additional human being created more value than he or she consumed. This relationship between population growth and abundance is deeply counterintuitive, yet it is true.Why? More people produce more ideas, which lead to more inventions. People then test those inventions in the marketplace to separate the useful from the useless. At the end of that process of discovery, people are left with innovations that overcome shortages, spur economic growth, and raise standards of living.But large populations are not enough to sustain superabundance―just think of the poverty in China and India before their respective economic reforms. To innovate, people must be allowed to think, speak, publish, associate, and disagree. They must be allowed to save, invest, trade, and profit. In a word, they must be free. Hosted on Acast.

Marian argues that humanity has accomplished a great deal and can continue to do so if we continue to adhere to the values of classical liberalism. According to Marian, the argument that resources can't keep up with human growth is simply not true. A cold, dispassionate look at the big picture shows that, all things considered, the world continues to improve along many different dimensions. #auspol #humanprogress #cato All our links: https://linktr.ee/centreforindependentstudies

Why do people think the world is getting worse, when the opposite is true? In today's episode, we have a fascinating conversation with Marian Tupy, the editor of humanprogress.org and a senior policy analyst at the Center for Global Liberty and Prosperity. Marian shares insights on the progress that has been made in various aspects of human development and the role that economic and political freedoms have played in this progress. From the decline in absolute poverty to advancements in medical science, Marian dispels common misconceptions and provides data-driven evidence of a better world. While not all indicators of human progress are excellent, as a species we are getting better, and we need to celebrate this. (Re-Mastered for Re-Issue.)

Marian Tupy (@Marian_L_Tupy) joins Patrick Blumenthal (@PatrickJBlum) to discuss his book Superabundance, innovation, doomerism, and much more. Some highlights:Do we already live in an Age of Superabundance?Are the values of the Enlightenment getting stronger or weaker?Why do we still have so many dormers?Why is doomerism seemingly so embraced by elites?The power of Malthusian ideasIs underpopulation an existential risk?Can technology save us from underpopulation?What causes resource curses?Will we have civilizational collapses in our lifetime?How fragile is the world today?Are we actually in a Great Stagnation?The usefulness of Time PricesShould we pause AI?Which countries is Marian bullish/bearish on?

You can't fix what is wrong in the world if you don't know what's actually happening. Polls show that most smart people tend to believe that the state of the world is getting worse. In the United States, almost 3/4 of Americans believe the world is getting worse and only 6% think it's getting better. But according to Marian Tupy, our guest on this episode, “this dark view of the prospects for humanity, and the natural world is, in large part, badly mistaken.” As a senior fellow at the Cato Institute's Center for Global Liberty and Prosperity, coauthor of the Simon Abundance Index and editor of the website HumanProgress.org, he has produced compelling research on this topic. Abundant evidence from individual scholars, academic institutions, and international organizations shows dramatic improvements in human well-being throughout much of the world. In recent decades, these improvements have been especially striking in developing countries where there's been a significant decline in extreme poverty and improvements in child mortality rates.  For thousands of years, the average income around the world was about $2 per person per day. Today, globally, it's $35. So the average inhabitant of the world adjusted for inflation is 18 times better off than he or she was 200 years ago.  “These days, young people especially are freaked out about the environment. They think everything is bad,” observes Marian. “That is not true. The United States and the European Union have added 35% more new forests in recent decades. China, 15% more forests.” Unfortunately, there is often a wide gap between the reality of human experience, which is characterized by incremental improvements, and public perception, which tends to be quite negative about the current state of the world and skeptical about humanity's future prospects. "Journalism is about things that happen, not things that don't happen,” explains Marian. “When a bunch of crazy fanatics fly an airplane into a building in New York, it ends up on all the front pages. But what is never covered is human progress, the things that are happening in the background every year, like how by quarter of a percent or half a percent, absolute poverty is declining and growth is increasing.” Tupy emphasizes the importance of economic and political freedom in driving these positive changes, and that we do need to worry that these freedoms are under attack throughout the world.  To innovate, people must be allowed to think, speak, publish, associate, and disagree. They must be allowed to save, invest, trade, and profit. In a word, they must be free. Tupy brings abundant historical and real world evidence to support this assertion. We ignore these basics at our peril. 

I went to the ARC conference yesterday - to give it its full name the Alliance for Responsible Citizenship. It is an organisation set up by Jordan Peterson, Paul Marshall, Philippa Stroud, Alan McKormick and others to “develop a better narrative in response to life's most fundamental social, economic, philosophical and cultural questions”. I spent much of the day taking notes, and I thought I'd write them up here so that readers can enjoy a distilled version, without the rigours of having to travel to the depths of London SE and sitting through a lot of talking.“What's it like?” Merryn Somerset Webb texted on her way in that morning. “A bit like a religious gathering,” I replied, (something Tim Stanley also observed in a barbed piece in the Telegraph). I'm quite happy with that, because I am one of the believers. I have to say the organisers have put together quite a roster of speakers, one massive oversight aside, which was not having me speak.Philippa Stroud and Jordan Petersen hosted the morning events, which began with recently removed US speaker of the house Kevin McCarthy. Peterson, who had made a brave choice of suit even by his standards - and, I say with a little concern, looked exhausted  - made the point that we each have a responsibility to do our own little bit, if we are to improve things.In this Noah's Flood of podcasts through which we are currently living, I'm kind of done with conversations. So many people now just seem to be regurgitating the words of others. So few seem to say anything original or interesting. We are caught in this media merry-go-round in which everyone is just commenting on what everyone else has said and nobody actually seems to be creating anything. Moreover, I am kind of done with panels. Three guests, sitting on chairs, a host, who keeps opening it up the the audience, where the conversation then loses all direction. Give me strength. It's always a good way to go into an event with low expectations because when reality exceeds expectation you end up happy. So it was here. (Read more on the secret of happiness). Laurence Fox, who is a buddy and with whom I hung out, was in a similarly jaded frame of mind. The right is great at identifying what the problem is, he said to me over coffee and a fag, but no good at doing anything about it. The problem, I suggested, is that many don't actually know what to do, which is why so much talking goes on. Perhaps the answer lies in Peterson's solution. We each have to do our own little bit in our own little worlds, doing whatever we do. That's the nature of free markets and free everything: it starts with the individual and it is a bottom-up thing.The first panel was about narrative. That had former Aussie deputy PM John Anderson, who was excellent on the fact that in the Anglosphere, we have stopped telling our own story and, as a result, lost sight of who we are and what we stand for. This was a recurring theme throughout the day. Somali-Dutch activist, Ayaan Hersi, talking about Hamas and Islamic extremism, added that “their story is not your story and your story is not their story”, so it is never going to work. She may not have meant it, but that is actually quite a strong argument against multiculturalism. And I loved this line from US author Os Guiness: “freedom is not the power to do what you like. It is the power to do what you ought”I went into the break keen to do my own little bit and put the world right, and ran into my old boss from GB News, Angelos Frangopoulos, who was similarly invigorated. I had a good chat with him. I then ran into Jimmy Carr, of all people, who I know of old, and had a good chat with him too. I then met Holly Valance, who is a famous actress from Neighbours, if you didn't know (I didn't) and had a good chat with her about home education. So, never mind the roster of speakers, the calibre of audience was pretty good too.The next session was hosted by Fraser Nelson of the Spectator, another of the many UK media outlets which has forgone the opportunity to give me work. There was a talk by MP Miriam Cates about mental health and the decline of family. I agreed with pretty much every point she made, but don't read your speeches, speak them, Mmiriam. They have more impact when you do.Next Nelson would interview a chap over videolink to the states, Jonathan Haidt, and my heart sank. Why have I come all this way to watch a live zoom call? Guess what? It was brilliant.It was about children and mobile phones. Moral of the story? Don't let your kids anywhere near them. Mental health, depression, anxiety and suicide rates among young women  in the Anglosphere and Nordic countries are all all at all time highs. They are not so bad among religious conservatives, they are much higher in cultures where female independence is strong, especially left wing, secular liberals (who tend to be allowed on their phones more). It has rocketed since 2010 when we all got smartphones.  He talked about the importance of play amongst children, and how we have replaced a play-based childhood with a phone-based childhood. Kids see each other and socialise far less now than they used to. Kids don't need connections. They don't need retweets and likes. Even less do they need all the bullying and shaming that goes on. Tiktok messes with your mind and your ability to concentrate, but Instagram is the worst for women and mental health.Haidt's solution was not to give kids a smartphone before the age of 14, give them flip phones. No social media before the age of 16. No phones in schools, not even in your backpacks otherwise kids will find a way to feed the addiction. Get back to play. The rise in teenage suicide is perhaps the biggest problem since we wiped out polio, cholera and mass disease.Tell your mates.So to the afternoon …In the afternoon, Paul Marshall gave a brilliant talk. For someone who is supposed to be shy and retiring, he was great - and he didn't read his speech, or if he did it didn't show. He was particularly good on one of my pet hates, crony capitalism. (I even wrote a song about it). He observed how we have benefited from capitalism and free markets, peppering his talk with great historical stories. He bemoaned the conflation of capitalism with monopolistic capitalism, crony capitalism and, what he called swamp capitalism, describing US politics as “continuity swamp”, and called for a politician with strength to stand up to vested interests. He didn't say anything particularly new, but it was one of the best summaries of everything I had heard in a long time. We are both singing so loudly from the same song sheet, I felt he must have been studying my stuff (I doubt he has), though he didn't mention the zero patients in all of this: our systems of money and tax.Then there was another video link with US presidential candidate, Vivek Ramaswamy, on the campaign trail in Utah or somewhere I've never been to. He went down very well in the room too. Merryn Somerset Webb hosted a good panel on ESG investing. The S in ESG is totally subjective, said Derek Kreifels, while Terry Keeley called it the biggest misallocation of capital in history. The general takeaway is that ESG is done. The arguments have been lost, even the FT is now slagging it off. It is, I'd say, roughly where the Nazis were in 1943 after they failed to take Moscow and winter set in.Michael Shellenberger, not a man with whom I was previously familiar, was next and he came out with my line of the day. “Pull back the curtain and there is no Wizard of Oz, just Greta Thunberg with a really bad religion.”His main theme was debunking climate alarmism. He argued that carbon emissions are improving, sea levels are not an issue if the Netherlands is anything to go by. The reason northern countries are so wealthy is that the harsher conditions forced us to develop more. Deaths from climate disasters are down 90%, he said, against a population that is four times bigger. He is more worried about death from drugs. You can't say much of this on the internet though because you get censored. Climate change is a religion. Nihilism leads to secular religions, and not very good ones. There are three new secular religions: they are climate, race and gender. Climate change is also a psychopathology, and most activists have some kind of personality disorder, often narcissism. Frequently they are just spoilt children.The answers lie in increased efficiencies. The fact that the amount of land required to make the same amount of food is decreasing is good: it means more land for nature. The fact that less material is required to do stuff (eg all the things you can do on your phone, a bluetooth speaker vs a stack stereo kit from the 1980s) is another example. Think of the woman who used to have to cook food using dung and wood. Gas has been liberating for her. The solutions lie in gas and nuclear. Not in solar, the panels for which are made by slave labour in concentration camps in China, nor in wind, the blades of which do not recycle or decompose. A panel next with Alex Epstein and Marian Tupy made similar points, and was great. Epstein's argument was that so much of environmental philosophy is just anti-human. That's the underlying problem. We ignore the human flourishing effects of fossil fuel to be anti-human. While Tupy pointed how much better we are producing resources and using them so that their prices fall. Eventually we will create elements through nuclear fission or mine them in outer space where they are plentiful. I liked Tupy. Humans create as well as destroy. Atoms may be finite, but knowledge is infinite, and the more knowledge you consume, the more you end up with. We need freedom and we need population. We need the freedom to explore, the think, to invent, to experiment. And it is so much better when the market, not the government, chooses the winners. In the final session of the day, historian Niall Ferguson spoke. He described how liberal democracy, which in the context of the world today and of history, is tiny, is now under threat, both from within - so many now dare not speak or explore issues because they are scared of the backlash - and from outside. Beware the alliance between China, Russia, Iran and North Korea. I'd had enough talking by this point, so I left the auditorium, had a cup of tea and did some networking. I hope this summary was useful.In other news, I am working on a piece on S&P500, which could be set up for a good year end rally. I am also working on something to do with gold. It is finally catching a bid. New highs around the corner? Maybe. We are going to need them if juniors are to finally catch a bid.Please subscribe to this brilliant newsletter. This is a public episode.

We have a lot for you this week! Covering everything from atoms to commodities and precivilization to our indictmentpalooza. James, Rob and Steve discuss the latest from Mar-a-Lago; Hunter's crumbled plea deal; and the disengenous reaction to Florida's African American History curriculum. They enjoy some good news with guest Marian Tupy, whose latest book Superabundance reminds us of mankind's still-favorable prospects for grow and flourish in the years to come. The guys consider the difference between the environmentalists who've spent years predicting doom and the economists who bet on progress.

The world appears to lurch from economic crisis, one after another, with a side tension that we're running out of key materials for prosperity to continue. Marian Tupy is a senior fellow at the Cato Institute and the founder and editor of Human Progress. Tupy has been the counter voice to that perspective, long arguing through his writings and other work a philosophy best expressed in the subtitle of his book Superabundance: “The story of population growth, innovation and human flourishing on an infinitely bountiful planet.” Tupy is joined by FreightWaves Editor at Large, John Kingston, in this fireside chat.

Gale Pooley - Economist and Author With so much at stake in the decisions we make, especially at the global, societal, and environmental levels, it can be easy to feel like our options and our resources are ever-diminishing. We are emotional creatures, and the narratives we embrace matter. Our guest today has spent years tracking some of the most important metrics on earth–things like literacy rates, access to food, and availability of medicine. Far from being an escapist framework to deny the existence of real-world problems, our conversation today left us with the feeling that we had just visited a refueling station, and we were now ready to jump back in to keep doing the hard work. So today, we'll consider the hopeful question:   Are we actually doing better than we think we are? A conversation with economist and author Gale Pooley, on this episode of Lead With a Question.

In his first term as California's governor, Jerry Brown famously said back in 1975, “There is no free lunch. This is an era of limits and we all had better get used to it. Small is beautiful.” Was Brown right? These days, it seems that establishment thinking and most of the content on mainstream media believes it is so. Threats from climate change, overpopulation, and environmental degradation, we are told, now force us to reduce consumption and limit growth in order to save the planet and ourselves. Wesley's guest in this edition of Humanize takes a radically different and far more optimistic view. Gale L. Pooley has co-authored a book entitled Super Abundance in which he and co-author Marian L. Tupy argue that contrary to the roaring pessimism about the human future so often espoused these days, our earthly resources are actually unlimited and indeed, that population increases and innovation are the keys to growing our prosperity and extending our freedoms.

John Stossel 810K subscribers 945,727 views Jan 10, 2023 After 3 years of Covid, what lessons can we learn? Did lockdowns work? What about closing schools? What countries did best? ***** YouTube age-restricted the original video I posted, which vastly reduces the number of people who will see it. I have decided to edit out the parts that may have caused the restriction: a clip showing Australian Police choking a woman for not wearing a mask, Chinese authorities dragging a man out of his home, and protestors clashing with police ***** ———— To get our new weekly video from Stossel TV, sign up here: https://www.johnstossel.com/#subscribe ———— It turns out that America's lockdowns did NOT work. Even though the media praised New York governor Andrew Cuomo for an "amazing job,” accounting for age, his state ended up with more deaths than "irresponsible" Florida. Meanwhile, some countries, like Australia, imposed brutal lockdowns. My producer crunched the numbers at MaximumTruth.Substack.com and found that lockdowns DID save some lives. But they weren't worth it. The video above explains why.   https://youtu.be/QExJbWWwXDc The Jones Act Makes Shipping More Expensive John Stossel 810K subscribers 212,803 views Feb 28, 2023 American shipbuilders have a disgusting monopoly. I confront a shipping lobbyist who uses government to ban competition. ———— To get our new weekly video from Stossel TV, sign up here: https://www.johnstossel.com/#subscribe ———— The Jones Act, a stupid law with a stupid name, restricts domestic shipping to vessels built in America and crewed by Americans. That hurts consumers. It really hurts suffering people who need supplies after natural disasters. Unions and big shipping companies love this dumb law because it protects them from competition. “Your rules really hurt people,” I say to a lobbyist. "They don't,” she replies. "What the Jones Act does is ensure reliable, dedicated service." Give me a break.   https://youtu.be/Xp-PdF3MmuE Classified—Government's Dirty Secret John Stossel 810K subscribers 165,740 views. Feb 21, 2023 Classifying genuine secrets can keep us safe. Overclassifying makes us less safe. ———— To get our new weekly video from Stossel TV, sign up here: https://www.johnstossel.com/#subscribe ———— We've heard about the top secret documents found at the homes of Donald Trump and Joe Biden. The media call it a national security crisis. Bunk. The truth is, the word classified usually means very little. Government classifies three things every second. “A lot of top secrets are nothing of the kind,” historian Matthew Connelly tells us. Many classified “secrets” are nonsense or embarrassing proof of government incompetence. I'll show you why the problem is much bigger than Presidents taking classified documents home.   https://youtu.be/GZmVLpfunzE  The Scaremongers Are Wrong John Stossel 810K subscribers 583,731 views Jan 24, 2023 Have you heard? The world is about to end! No…it isn't. ———— To get our new weekly video from Stossel TV, sign up here: https://www.johnstossel.com/#subscribe ———— Throughout history, people predicted the end of humanity. Recently, 60 Minutes featured doomsayer Paul Ehrlich. They treated him like an expert, even though his dire prophecies have repeatedly been proven utterly wrong. Instead of interviewing people like Ehrlich, 60 minutes should talk to Marian Tupy, the creator of humanprogress.org. “If you sell the apocalypse, people feel like you are deep and that you care,” Tupy tells me. "But if you are selling rational optimism....” Rational optimism is right. Scaremongers like 60 Minutes are wrong.   https://youtu.be/NLkfpjJoNkA Even Greenpeace Says “Most Plastic Simply Cannot Be Recycled.” John Stossel 810K subscribers 668,796 views Jan 17, 2023 For decades we've been told recycling helps the Earth. It really doesn't. ———— To get our new weekly video from Stossel TV, sign up here: https://www.johnstossel.com/#subscribe ———— Recycling is a “sacrament of the green religion,” says Science Writer John Tierney. He once debunked recycling claims in an infamous New York Times column “Recycling is Garbage.” “It's even more true today,” Tierney tells me. Greenpeace now says plastic recycling is a “dead-end street.” Often it's also a costly scam.   https://youtu.be/9Zi1cLJyBoQ Not Your Father's Comic Books John Stossel 810K subscribers 130,719 views Dec 20, 2022 Comic book creator Eric July says American comics now lose to Japanese companies because they're overrun by "advocates of social justice.” He's right. ———— To get our new weekly video from Stossel TV, sign up here: https://www.johnstossel.com/#subscribe ———— Superman's son, and Batman's sidekick Robin, are now bisexual. A new version of Spiderman is a lesbian in a wheelchair. Iron Man is a teenage Black girl. "So what?” you may ask. “Isn't more diversity good?" Changing established characters, says July, was “obviously something that was done for political gain,” and that's why Marvel and DC have lost market share. But Marvel and DC don't seem to mind. They still create woke nonsense, like characters named “Snowflake” and “Safespace.” Really. July sees an opportunity. He just released his first comic, with plans for more.   https://youtu.be/sghEEvOWfmQ Classic Stossel: Fake Farmers John Stossel 810K subscribers 678,414 views Mar 10, 2023 Lawyers, and others who have never farmed in their lives, got rich off of taxpayer money – all through a lawsuit against the USDA that was supposed to compensate black farmers for past discrimination. One black farmer tells me, lawyers said "if you had a potted plant… you're a farmer. And if you have a yard and you fertilize it, you're a farmer." That's why 90,000 people got money from the government -- even though the USDA and the Black Farmers' Association say there were only 18,000 black farmers in the country. A Classic Stossel from 2011.   https://youtu.be/XUHcvg6IFlY Classic Stossel: The Biggest Freeloaders John Stossel 810K subscribers 200,140 views Feb 3, 2023 Has America become a nation of freeloaders? A person panhandling is what we usually picture when we think of freeloading … but in America today, the bigger recipients of handouts is not poor people, it's corporations. A Stossel Classic from 2011.   https://youtu.be/iQiLrm1VoMQ The Science of Happiness John Stossel 810K subscribers 109,131 views Dec 13, 2022 People are often born happy, or unhappy, due to wiring in our brains -- but fortunately, there are things that ALL of us can do to become happier. ———— To get our new weekly video from Stossel TV, sign up here: https://www.johnstossel.com/#subscribe ———— "Socializing is hugely associated with being happy," psychology professor Sonja Lyubomirsky told me. I pushed back: "I'm an introvert. I don't WANT to socialize." "Okay, we actually did a study where we asked both introverts and extroverts for one week to act more extroverted," she responded. Her study found just socializing “a little more” made people happier. What other things make people happy? That's in the video above.   https://youtu.be/KY8hDajSOY8 Surprising Answers From Fmr CIA Director Mike Pompeo on Spending, Defense & Entitlements John Stossel 810K subscribers 518,191 views Jan 31, 2023 I never expect much from politicians. But Mike Pompeo, a possible candidate for president, surprised me. ———— To get our new weekly video from Stossel TV, sign up here: https://www.johnstossel.com/#subscribe ———— Pompeo used to be CIA Director and Secretary of State. I wanted to talk to him because he might run for president. I confronted him about Republican hypocrisy on spending. I pushed him on whether he'd cut entitlements. Would he abolish the Department of Education? His answers were not what I expected.   https://youtu.be/dYdk9gSp2Kw Maj Toure--Black Guns Matter John Stossel 810K subscribers 297,326 views Dec 6, 2022 Maj Toure, founder of "Black Guns Matter," wants to arm more people in America. “Criminals should be deathly afraid,” he tells me. ———— To get our new weekly video from Stossel TV, sign up here: https://www.johnstossel.com/#subscribe ———— We know about "Black Lives Matter." But there's another group called "Black Guns Matter," started by Maj Toure. Toure carries a gun with him everywhere he goes, and he encourages others to do the same. His group trains people, especially black communities, how to safely use firearms. Why black communities? “Gun control is racist,” he tells me. Toure says, correctly, gun control began to "stop black people from having the means to defend themselves."     https://youtu.be/s4XcbM6nkBs This Thanksgiving, Say Thank You to "Private Property” John Stossel 810K subscribers 154,929 views Nov 22, 2022 #subscribe Did you know that the pilgrims almost starved after they arrived at Plymouth Rock? That's because they were forced to farm "collectively." The corporation that funded the expedition said, "grow food together. Divide the harvest equally." -------- Don't miss a single video from Stossel TV. Sign up here: www.johnstossel.com/#subscribe-form --------- This is a terrible idea. It creates what economists call the "tragedy of the commons." When you share property and the results of your work, people farm until the land is barren, don't work as hard, or steal food from others. Young people from Students For Liberty take part in an experiment to demonstrate this "tragedy of the commons." It shows the solution is private property, which is what saved the pilgrims. Governor William Bradford finally decided to "assign each family a parcel of land." Once the pilgrims had property rights, they became much more productive and brought in huge harvests -- which they were then able to share with the Indians. So this Thanksgiving feast, don't forget to say "thanks, private property!"   https://youtu.be/n0jIV3cIw74 Classic Stossel: What's Great About America--Starting a Business John Stossel 810K subscribers 60,921 views Nov 25, 2022 One of the things that's great about America is its entrepreneurial spirit. America is a good place to do business. ———— To make sure you see the new weekly video from Stossel TV, sign up here: https://www.johnstossel.com/#subscribe ———— More than almost any other nation, America both encourages and rewards creativity, risk-taking, and the entrepreneurial spirit. In this video, I start my own “Stossel Store." The business is something of a failure, which is also part of what's great about America: you can try here and fail and still try again. A Classic Stossel from 2010.

He and his partner studied 200 years of data to show the actual facts about the progress of humanity and the level of flourishing and abundance we currently have. We discuss a concept for measuring abundance which he calls "time price" and also talk about whether the planet can sustain the current population at its growth rate.

In this episode, host Vivek Ramaswamy discusses the importance of GDP growth and innovation in America with Marian Tupy, co-author of the book "Superabundance." They explore the counterintuitive relationship between population growth and economic growth, emphasizing the role of human ingenuity and innovation. The conversation touches on the negative effects of overregulation on innovation and the potential of nuclear energy to drive growth if the government loosened its grip on the market. They also delve into the parallels between environmentalism and religion and the importance of economic growth and innovation in addressing environmental issues. Finally, they discuss the dangers of degrowth theory and the concept of equity, arguing that merit and individual capabilities should be prioritized over one's background.Marian Tupy is a Slovak-born American policy analyst, author, and editor. He is currently a senior fellow at the Cato Institute's Center for Global Liberty and Prosperity, where he specializes in global trends in economic freedom, human well-being, and political institutions.

It's the day after the Super Bowl, and that means it's time for episode 18 of The Charles C. W. Cooke Podcast, which, this week, features a monologue about last week's remarkably embarrassing State of the Union address (which shouldn't exist), and an interview with Marian Tupy, co-author of Superabundance: The Story of Population Growth, Innovation, and Human Flourishing on an Infinitely Bountiful Planet. Are we richer than medieval peasants? Is it easier to buy a vacuum cleaner now than it used to be? Why is a bigger population not only not bad, but good? Do statist conservatives have a point when they complain about free markets? Is environmentalism a religion? Why does cancel culture threaten the economy? Charles asks all these questions—and more. Listen, or don't. It's up to you.The dial-up tone in the introduction was recorded by lintphishx and is used under a CC 3.0 License.  

There are now eight billion people living on the planet. Is there enough room for all of us? Are we going to run out of food and other resources? Marian Tupy, Senior Fellow at the Cato Institute and co-author of Superabundance, examines whether or not these fears are valid. His answer may surprise you.

Matt Kibbe is joined by Marian Tupy, senior fellow at the Cato Institute and author of “Superabundance,” to talk about the ways in which the standard of living has dramatically increased over the years. It has become fashionable to assert that things are getting worse, wages have stagnated, and prosperity is a thing of the past, but in reality the opposite is true. If you look at the numbers, as Tupy does in his book, it's indisputable that we've made amazing progress as a species, and yet many refuse to recognize it. The reason is that utopian thinking leads to comparing the present not to the past, but to an unrealizable ideal that exists only in the imagination. When you make this comparison, you are bound to be disappointed. A more realistic approach shows that this resentment is misplaced and that in fact we should be grateful for all the wealth and prosperity we now enjoy.

Matt Walsh of The Daily Wire exposes another hospital that mutilates children under the guise of “gender-affirming care.” Is there a children hospital in a major city that doesn't engage in this form mutilation?… Why is it important that there are only two sexes?  Dennis remembers how much freedom he had as a teen and how much freedom we have lost… The US has become a net exporter of bad ideas for the first time in its history.  Illinois will get rid of bail for most violent offenses in January. Do you think this will make Chicago safer?... Columbia, Dennis's alma mater, is rated as the least free speech campus. It was a very tough competition… Dennis talks to Marian Tupy, a senior fellow at the Cato Institute. His new book (co-authored with Gale Pooley) is Superabundance: The Story of Population Growth, Innovation, and Human Flourishing on an Infinitely Bountiful Planet.

Cato Institute uberwonk Marian Tupy returns to the Remnant to discuss his new book, Superabundance: The Story of Population Growth, Innovation, and Human Flourishing on an Infinitely Bountiful Planet. For some time, the idea that overpopulation will deplete the world of its resources has been popular in sociology. In this extra-long, extra-nerdy outing, Marian explains why its proponents are mistaken. He and Jonah also explore how nations become prosperous, the problem of collapsing fertility rates, and the appeal of apocalyptic predictions. Show Notes:- Marian's page at the Cato Institute- Marian and Gale L. Pooley's new book, Superabundance- HumanProgress.org- The Simon-Ehrlich wager- Jane Goodall and Prince Harry on sustainability- Nick Eberstadt: “The Americans Who Never Went Back to Work After the Pandemic”- Jonah's review of The Reactionary Mind- The Morning Dispatch breaks big news

Marian Tupy debunks the persistent myth that population growth will lead to the exhaustion of Earth's natural resources and the destruction of our ecosystem. He argues there are no resource constraints on what an ever-expanding humanity could accomplish  - the only constraints are the ones humans make through their own bad governance.

Is it true that the world's rapidly growing population is consuming the planet's natural resources at an alarming rate that would require two Earths to satisfy the demand for natural resources by 2030? Marian Tupy and Gale Pooley found that resources became more abundant as the population grew. They also found that resource abundance increased faster than the population. On average, every additional human being created more value than he or she consumed. Shermer, Tupy, and Pooley discuss: why we long for the “good ol' days” • Malthusian trap • Ehrlich's predictions on overpopulation • the birth dearth • the Simon Abundance Index • compound interest • What does it mean for the economy to grow 2–3% a year? • accumulating wealth • what poorer countries need to do to become richer countries • running out of fossil fuels • Obama's “you didn't build that” speech • inflation • electric vehicles • How many people can the Earth sustain? • post-scarcity trekonomics • the future of religion and other social institutions in a superabundant world.

Over the past few weeks, we have been looking at the reality of the state of the world; not what the corporate media says, not what the politicians are saying, but a new voice - the voice of data. In the previous two episodes, we looked at the Progress of the Human Race. Today, we are tackling the topic of Climate Change. Are we experiencing an increasingly worsening climate? Is it possible that rising temperatures and tides will kill us all?Thankfully, there are a growing number of reputable scientists and authors that are presenting a much more optimistic story than the narrative we typically hear. Using the same data sets as many of the climate alarmists, people like Bjorn Lomborg, Michael Shellenberger, Marian Tupy, and Matt Ridley have been speaking to the idea that climate change is real, it's just not the apocalyptic threat that we've been told it is.

This is part two of our investigation into the Progress of the Human Race, and we would like to restate our goal here. All the mainstream media ever talk about is how the world's in dire straits, how we're going in an irreversible direction, and how it's all our fault. We explored this narrative in depth in season 4 of the podcast. And we'd like to promote an alternative narrative–one where, in almost every direction you look, you find progress at a rate that, for most of history, would sound like sci-fi.This episode, part two, once again heavily features Marian Tupy, dad's guest on episode 14 of the current podcast season. Marian is a senior fellow at Cato Institute's Center for Global Liberty and Prosperity and co-authored the incredible book “Ten Global Trends Every Smart Person Should Know,” which I'm sure many of you will know.Also featured in this episode are Michael Shellenberger, Dr. Saifedean Ammous, Viscount Matt Ridley, Steven Pinker, and Bjorn Lomborg.  Learn more about your ad choices.
