A belief in the positive power of free markets has been a part of the political and philosophical program of the political right for virtually all of the post-World War II conservative movement. While elements of protectionism, and even isolationism, have always been currents in the political right, a support for free trade and free markets has been part of the right's dogma for years. Now that is no longer the case.Many have lost confidence in the country's commitment to economic liberty. Across the political spectrum, many want the government to play an even greater role in the economy via protectionism, industrial policy, stakeholder capitalism, or even quasi-socialist policies. Numerous American political and business leaders are embracing these ideas, and traditional defenders of markets have struggled to respond to these challenges in fresh ways. From the perspective of advocates for a free market economy, this amounts to conservatives taking a left turn on economic questions.Why is this happening? And what can free market advocates do about this problem?Today, Eric Kohn, Acton's Director of Marketing & Communications talks with Dr. Samuel Gregg, Distinguished Fellow in Political Economy and Senior Research Faculty at the American Institute for Economic Research and an affiliate scholar at the Acton Institute, about the turn to the state by members of the so-called “New Right” and how arguments for a market-based economy need to be refreshed for the problems of the 21st century.Subscribe to our podcastsApply Now for Acton UniversityThe Next American Economy | AmazonThe hundred-year war for American Conservatism | Acton LineOf Course You Know What "Woke" Means | SubstackFreeJimmyLai.com | The Hong KongerPhoto Credit: Associated Press Hosted on Acast.

Ryan M. Yonk is Senior Research Faculty at the American Institute for Economic Research. The Debt Ceiling: Business as usual and the apocalypse at the same time
One aspect of inflation that we don't hear much about is how the rising cost of diesel contributes to higher costs of goods. The cost of regular gas is roughly where it was last year, at around 3 dollars a gallon, but the change in the price of diesel gas is much more notable- it's gone up a dollar or more since last year. There are certain policies in place causing this. To break it down, here's Joe Trotter, the energy task force director at the American Legislative Exchange Council. New reports coming from China say that the country's population has dropped for the first time since 1961. This poses major challenges to their economy. And since the U.S. economy is intertwined with China, this is also expected to have impacts on the U.S. Joining us to discuss America's economic relationship with China, we have Ryan Yonk, Senior Research Faculty at the American Institute for Economic Research.

https://youtu.be/sDgfh4qilo4 Whereas Marx rejected chattel slavery and extrapolated a long historical march to an eventual socialist reordering through revolutionary upheaval, Fitzhugh saw a readily available alternative. “Slavery is a form, and the very best form, of socialism,” he explained. Wage labor, he predicted, would be forever insufficient to meet the needs of the laborer due to deprivation of his products from his skill. Slavery, to Fitzhugh's convenience, could step in and fill the gap through the paternalistic provision of necessities for the enslaved, allegedly removing the “greed” of wage exploitation from the process. Since slaves became the charge of the slave master and were placed under his care for food and shelter, Fitzhugh reasoned that “slaves consume more of the results of their own labor than laborers at the North.” Plantation slavery, according to this contorted line of thinking, thereby mitigated the “exploitation” of wage labor capitalism and returned a greater portion of the posited surplus value. In the Marxian counterpart, a socialist state fulfills a similar function. - Phillip W. Magness, The Anti-Capitalist Ideology of Slavery Phillip W.

One of America's greatest success stories is its economy. For over a century, it has been the envy of the world. The opportunity it generates has inspired millions of people to want to become American.Today, however, America's economy is at a crossroads. Many have lost confidence in the country's commitment to economic liberty. Across the political spectrum, many want the government to play an even greater role in the economy via protectionism, industrial policy, stakeholder capitalism, or even quasi-socialist policies. Then there is a resurgent China bent on eclipsing the United States' place in the world. At stake is not only the future of the world's biggest economy, but also the economic liberty that remains central to America's identity.But managed decline and creeping statism do not have to be America's only choices, let alone its destiny. In his latest book, “The Next American Economy: Nation, State, and Markets in an Uncertain World,” Dr. Samuel Gregg insists that there is an alternative—and that is to become a vibrant Commercial Republic grounded in entrepreneurship, competition, and trade openness, as envisioned by the founding generation. In this episode, Dylan Pahman, executive editor of the Journal of Markets & Morality and a research fellow at the Acton Institute, sits down with Dr. Gregg, Distinguished Fellow in Political Economy and Senior Research Faculty at the American Institute for Economic Research and an affiliate scholar at the Acton Institute, to discuss the book and the economic, political, and moral complications of our increasingly globalized world.Subscribe to our podcastsThe Next American Economy | AmazonThe Next American Economy Is Cause for Hope“Globalization,” in Stanford Encyclopedia of PhilosophyAdam Smith on the Benefits of International TradeDylan Pahman, “Fiat Currency, the Euro, and Greek Default”Samuel Gregg, “Rethinking Free Markets in an Age of Anxiety” Hosted on Acast.

McGinnis—George C. Dix Professor in Constitutional Law at Northwestern University—joins show to talk about his recent Wall Street Journal editorial, “Amy Coney Barrett's Modest Way to End Racial Preferences.” In the editorial, Professor McGinnis writes, “Grutter v. Bollinger… held the pursuit of diversity satisfies the strict scrutiny required to overcome the constitutional presumption against discrimination under the 14th Amendment's Equal Protection Clause. But the justices can put a stop to racial preferences without reaching the constitutional question. Universities are required to abide by Title VI of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, which is unambiguous about preferential admission on the basis of race.” 5:25pm- While appearing on Pod Save America with Dan Pfeiffer (former Senior Advisor in Obama's White House) and Jon Favreau (former Obama Speechwriter), former President Barack Obama described Senate candidate John Fetterman as authentic and praised him for being a “regular guy.” 5:30pm- During Friday's episode of Real Time, astrophysicist Neil deGrasse Tyson questioned the seriousness with which host Bill Maher has taken the pandemic since he had contracted COVID-19. 5:45pm-While appearing on MSNBC with Nicolle Wallace, former FBI agent Peter Strozk claimed the terror attacks in New York City on September 11th were “nothing compared to” the January 6th riots at the U.S. Capitol. 5:50pm- During Monday night's Georgia Gubernatorial debate, candidate Stacey Abrams claimed that she was not behind in the polls—however, a review of RealClearPolitics polling averages shows she is currently down by 7-points and has not led in any of the 28 most recent polls listed on their website. 6:05pm- A comprehensive review of Monday night's fiery debate between U.S. Senator from Utah Mike Lee and candidate Evan McMullin. 6:30pm- In his new editorial, Andrew C.

At the inaugural lecture of 2022 at Francisco Marroquín University, Phillip W. Magness questions how is it possible that, 30 years after the fall of the Union of Soviet Socialists Republics (USSR), a totalitarian regime continues to be so celebrated in the present? How is it possible that a figure like Karl Marx continues to be so relevant today? Magness takes a historical tour where he demonstrates how Karl Marx was rejected by the intellectual circle of his time states and, through numerous examples, how the USSR gave Marx the mainstream stature that he has today, leaving the intellectual circle at a crossroads, since his legacy has not been based on ideas, but on violence, suffering and poverty. Phillip W. Magness is Senior Research Faculty and Interim Research and Education Director at the American Institute for Economic Research.
