Today, The Two Mikes spoke with Wake-Forest University's Professor of Economics, Robert Whaples. Professor Whaples recently edited and published a book of essays by accomplished academics that is called Is Social Justice Just? The book includes a forward by the incisive commentator Jordan Peterson. Professor Whaples noted that part and parcel of the social justice movement (SJM) is the rejection of free trade, capitalism – which SJM counts as the source of racism -- and the market economy, the very things that have long ensured general prosperity in the United States. The SJM is gradually eroding national confidence in the just-mentioned items, and are intent on building socialism applied by a national government rule the people form the top down. The SJM and their goal of “equity” are designed to pick winners and losers in business as well as in individuals. Equity in regard to people means, of course, means to produce the outcomes the SJM wants to achieve, no matter whether the winners they pick to crown have any obvious merit in terms of character, education, responsible behavior, competitiveness, and experience. In terms of businesses, the winners will come in the business areas they support, which of course rules out such producers of well-paying jobs for the middle-and-blue collar classes; think of fracking, pipeline-construction, and energy exploration and development, for example. The SJM is an engine that has the potential to destroy America's economy and social amity via racism, envy, and misinformation. The road to eliminating SJM's the main products – chaos, culture wars, racism, crime, and socialism – is to restore the primacy of the jobs-and-prosperity producers of free trade, capitalism, and the market economy, and to recreate the education system for all Americans by creating charter schools and, as important, by allowing federal educational funding follow the student to whatever school he or she chooses to attend. These ideas are commonsense and tried-and-true, and they help to answer such question as:how to do social justice wrong with the poison of resentment, envy, and ignorance;how to do social justice right with the insights of philosophers and theologians;how to respect people's rights and liberties without sacrificing true equality;and how to reform flawed public policies that just make everything worse. (points are from the books' review on Amazon) --Professor Whaples book is: Is Social Justice Just? The volume was published by the Independent Institute in May, 2023, and is available at Amazon and other booksellers. --Professor Whaples also is a senior member of the Independent Institute, and the editor of its journal the Independent Review.

Welcome to my podcast. I learned a lot while reading about this topic and I'd like to share those insights with you. This episode is a brief overview of COVID-19, pandemics, and epidemics, with a focus on the medieval ages and the black death. I’ve provided citations for sources I used to create this podcast in case you’d like to delve deeper into this moment in history. You can find them below and on the forthcoming website. I’m not a doctor or an accredited historian. Nor do I play one on TV. This podcast is for informational purposes only. Got something weird going on? You might want to go see a doctor.

Duke Energy and Dominion Energy have decided to pull the plug on the Atlantic Coast Pipeline. The pipeline had faced multiple legal challenges and permitting delays. Donald van der Vaart, John Locke Foundation senior fellow, analyzes the reasons guiding the ACP owners’ decision. Van der Vaart also discusses the impact for N.C. electricity ratepayers. U.S. Rep. Greg Murphy, R-3rd District, brings an interesting perspective to the COVID-19 policy debate. Murphy is a physician. He understands more about COVID-19’s health implications than most policymakers. Murphy shared his concerns about North Carolina’s coronavirus response during a recent Raleigh news conference. Many of Murphy’s Washington, D.C., colleagues want to send more federal money to the states to address public education issues. But Rep. Virginia Foxx, R-5th District, has raised questions about that strategy. Foxx shared her perspective during a hearing on Capitol Hill. Critics have spoken out against inequality in the United States. Robert Whaples, professor of economics at Wake Forest University, says much of the criticism fails to distinguish between good and bad inequality. Whaples discusses the differences, building on ideas from the book In All Fairness: Equality, Liberty, and the Quest for Human Dignity. While North Carolina’s Democratic governor and Republican legislators continue to disagree about expanding Medicaid, they are allowing so-called Medicaid “transformation” to move forward. Jordan Roberts, John Locke Foundation health care policy analyst, explains what transformation means for patients and health care providers. Roberts also assesses potential impact for taxpayers.

Whether it comes from Pope Francis or another person who wants to virtue signal about the kind of society they advocate, the “caring society” sounds like a great idea. But what does it actually mean? Can we even achieve such a thing, and would capitalism be a part of it? Robert Whaples, editor of the book “Pope Francis and the Caring Society” discusses with us some of the important lessons economists have, as well as some helpful social critique that is offered by those who aren't necessarily attuned to economic issues. If you care about anything, you'll care to listen to this episode!
