Race, Liberty, and the Future of Meritocracy in America 55:36

8 weeks тому55:36

55:36

Research Fellow Jonathan Bean and contributors from the updated edition of "Race & Liberty in America: The Essential Reader" gathered for a rigorous and thought-provoking conversation. They tackled controversial topics such as immigration, “systemic” racism, and the politics of intermarriage. They’ll also explore how classical liberal values—championed by figures like Frederick Douglass, Zora Neale Hurston, and Louis Marshall—have long provided a blueprint for a thriving multi-ethnic society.…

Why Tariffs Are Toxic | Independent Outlook 70 1:04:41

9 weeks тому1:04:41

1:04:41

What exactly are tariffs, and how do they work? How do they drive up prices? Are tariffs a way to protect the U.S. economy from hostile powers like the Communist Party of China? No, not really. Or a way to protect the supply chains on which U.S. military supremacy depends? No, not that either. In short, tariffs are toxic, and we discuss why that is.…

Executive Orders Galore! Birthright Citizenship, DEI, Energy, and More | Independent Outlook 69 1:07:52

13 weeks тому1:07:52

1:07:52

Within minutes of his swearing in, President Donald Trump shot out of the starting gate with a burst of executive orders covering everything from immigration, to DEI, to energy, and more. Keeping up with all this, much less making sense of it all, feels kind of like drinking from a fire hydrant. But we take a stab at it in this episode of Independent Outlook, tackling seven or eight of the most pivotal orders.…

It Didn’t Have To Be This Bad: Southern California Firestorms | Independent Outlook 68 1:04:48

16 weeks тому1:04:48

1:04:48

Californians will be in shock for a long time over the vast firestorms in Los Angeles. We don’t yet know what ignited each fire. But Santa Ana winds are a regular, predictable, feature of regional weather. California environmentalism discourages clearing of public and private land, and stymies upgrades of water delivery systems. And Los Angeles recently trimmed back its firefighting budget by $18 million. “Climate change” is not the culprit.…

The New Syria and Civil Liberties. Trump's Team | Independent Outlook 67 1:03:43

1:03:43

How will civil liberties survive Syria’s convulsions? Do Trump’s national security appointees form a coherent team? Why is healthcare taking the spotlight now…but in such a sick way? And what about Trump’s economic team? Are these guys primed to deliver low inflation and prosperity? With special experts on deck, we discuss these questions and more on this episode of Independent Outlook.…

Judy Shelton: Money and Inflation in the New Trump Era 1:00:45

24 weeks тому1:00:45

1:00:45

Is the upcoming new presidential era finally our opportunity to slay the beast of inflation, shrink federal spending, and stabilize the value of our currency? We talk with Judy Shelton, Senior Fellow with Independent, former Trump nominee to the Fed Board, and author of a new book explaining how money is a “moral contract between government and the citizens”--and how its value can be decoupled from the whims of politicians and bureaucrats.…

Election 2024: Policy Issues That Matter Most | Independent Outlook 66 1:02:36

1:02:36

In an election season, there are always personality issues, and everybody has personal favorites. But then there are policy issues—and there are a lot of big ones on the table for the 2024 election: economic populism, inflation, immigration, abortion, higher ed, and more. In this episode, we give you our rough survey—and short analysis—of the policy territory facing voters. Advance warning: policy wisdom does not line up neatly with one party or the other!…

Free Speech / Free Prices: Deepfakes, Hurricanes, Port Strikes, Hate Speech | Independent Outlook 65 1:04:47

29 weeks тому1:04:47

1:04:47

In the wake of hurricanes, we need to ask an uncomfortable question: has federal flood insurance policy made the damage more extensive? The East Coast port workers strike is temporarily settled, but the effort to kill port automation is still on the table; does automation kill jobs? California and Minnesota are outlawing political AI deepfakes. Is this a victory against hate and disinformation? And what about California’s new law banning legacy admission at even private colleges? We discuss these subjects and more on today's episode of Independent Outlook.…

Yes We Can Cure the Healthcare Crisis! 46:45

33 weeks тому46:45

46:45

Since the passage of the Affordable Care Act, health care in America has not improved in the ways we were promised. In fact, inequalities in care have grown, and for many people health coverage is worse. But the errors can still be reversed. John C. Goodman's new book, Priceless: Curing the Health Care Crisis, maps out a better way, one that frees patients, doctors, and employers from the regulatory traps and perverse incentives that hold everybody back.…

Economic Illiteracy of Trump and Harris | Independent Outlook 64 1:02:29

36 weeks тому1:02:29

1:02:29

Both our presidential candidates, and their policy teams, seem to be suffering from a bad case of economic illiteracy, in somewhat different ways … or maybe not so different. With two aspiring leaders both saying they want to make things better for middle class and lower-income Americans, it’s pretty discouraging to see them advance economic policies that would actually make everybody worse off.…

A copy of a secret memo on national security issues has recently come into our hands, and we thought we should bring it to your attention! It tells the national security elite how to keep the public from balking at endless wars, and at the endless costs of the military-industrial complex. Well, actually, we’re publishing it as a book, so it’s not so secret. And, oh, by the way, the book is actually a satire! Join us for this episode of Independent Conversations, where we talk with the authors of this satirical book—uh, that is, this secret memo.…

Hunter Biden & Gun Laws. Pandering To Young Voters! Voter-Approved Taxes? | Independent Outlook 62 51:23

46 weeks тому51:23

51:23

Joe Biden says recent Supreme Court rulings on the Second Amendment are dangerous. Hunter Biden could rely on those rulings to appeal his gun conviction. What’s going on here? Also, will young voters love President Biden because he’s going after Ticketmaster while forgiving their student loans? And is it undemocratic for California voters to get to vote on the tax increases they’ll pay? Graham Walker, Phillip Magness, and Williamson Evers discuss all this and more on this episode of Independent Outlook.…

Why are all the campus protests so ideologically one-sided? Was Claudine Gay the tip of the iceberg on plagiarism? Is scientific objectivity passé among the faculty? And will all this educational malpractice lead to financial problems that will put colleges out of business?
