Capital Record
108 episodes Last Updated: Nov 21, 24
American prosperity was built on a foundation of free markets and free people. But, with inflation on the rise and a struggling market, many in America’s political class are attempting to recycle failed socialist ideas and calling for government intervention in nearly every aspect of American life. In this National Review Capital Matters podcast, presented by the National Review Institute, financier David Bahnsen hosts interviews with the nation’s top business leaders, entrepreneurs, and financial commentators. Tune in to hear guests such as Larry Kudlow, Steve Forbes, and Art Laffer present a practical and moral vindication of America’s capitalist way of life.

Episode 196: Markets and Their Limits
David is joined again today by Michael Matheson Miller of the Acton Institute, and they continue their robust talk about what markets can do, what they cannot do, what the moral implications of these things are, and much more. The theology is thick (the corrupting impact of sin), the controversy is real (is creative destruction a “tension” or an “evolution”), and the clarity is infectious (mistakes of the moment are repudiated). As all the talks with Miller have been, this is an all-time Capital Record best!

Episode 193: Religion, Competence, and Doing
David is joined this week by Dr. Steve Jeffery to discuss the parallel economy in depth. Pastor Jeffery’s doctorate in physics from Oxford gave him a definition of “parallel” that causes him to wonder if what the “parallel economy” is all about is actually properly defined. David and Steve walk through the whole subject, discuss the priorities believers in business ought to have, and consider at a deeper level how we ought to think about those in our web of economic activity.
David is joined once again by Steve Moore of the Committee to Unleash Prosperity for a thorough discussion of what to expect out of the upcoming election, what the economic stakes are, what to expect in terms of policy, and perhaps most importantly, what to expect in terms of personnel.

Episode 191: Wonder of the Ordinary
David is joined by Michael Matheson Miller of the Acton Institute for what will be a two-part discussion on the very essence of this podcast. Here in Part 1, we unpack the fact that so many of the structures and artifacts that enhance our quality of life, that make market activity possible, are invisible, often becoming “out of sight” and “out of mind” for many of us. But these structures, systems, and conventions are no small thing, as you shall soon see. An absolute core episode that deserves the words, “must listen.”
