- Description
- Caroline Downey has the receipts. Statements from the Trump administration (as recent as a few months ago) do not match the narrative coming out of the White House, the FBI, and the DOJ now.
So why the 180? Caroline responds to the confusing statements from the Trump administration over the rumored "Client List" of Jeffrey Epstein and the fracturing on the Right as a result.

- Runtime

- Description
- Is the U.S. bond market rejecting the fiscal state of the country? Is it declaring doom and gloom? Is it begging us not to do this “big, beautiful bill”?
Or, is the fiscal state of the country deeply troubled, is the new bill a big disappointment, yet the bond market is saying no such thing (for reasons you deserve to understand)?
In this very important Capital Record David makes the argument that those wrongly declaring some form of bond market revolt are hurting the cause of fiscal reform, undermining credibility, and making it harder for the real needs we have to be addressed. This rejection of crying wolf comes at a very important time for this woefully managed country!

- Financial innovations are demonized all the time, and perhaps David should be grateful because a low regard for capital markets is what motivated the creation of this podcast. But today David looks at SPAC’s and the criticisms of them as an example of how fallacious defense of central planning works. He makes the case that protection against fraud is one thing, but protection against loss is another. And ultimately, he makes the case that a system of robust financial markets has gains and losses, and that is a good thing.

- Description
- There was a time conservatives all knew this, but the new right fatal flaw is not just in application – the perpetual desire for more state intervention – but rather in the very nature of things that they get wrong. Markets are not created by the state, but rather by voluntary, organic human interaction. David unpacks the relevance of this basic creational, economic, and yes, moral message, in today’s Capital Record.

- Conservative vs. Libertarian Economics
- Runtime
- 18:58
- Date posted
- 1 year ago
- Description
- Populism seems to be the driving force of the new right’s economic philosophy. The new right has said that they want to take on “libertarian” economics and “free market orthodoxy.” Others have said that “libertarian economics is the same thing as conservative economics” (i.e., laissez-faire, low tax, low regulation, etc.). David suggests the need of the hour is not just more precise definitions, but a truly robust understanding of conservative economics – one that goes where libertarianism didn’t, and goes where populism simply can’t.

- Description
- David takes on the idea that protectionism and globalization are chief rivals, and instead suggest that the chief rival of protectionism is free enterprise, itself. He critiques Joe Nocera’s recent article suggesting that the protectionists have been vindicated, and instead suggests that the entire protectionist agenda is essentially the plight of the central planner. A careful critique of the tariff dogma, combined with a non-revisionist view of what has transpired in trade and culture over the last few decades!

- The issue of shareholder engagement is one we have covered a lot here in the Capital Record. Our partner in this endeavor, Bowyer Research, has gotten the attention of Bloomberg, unsurprisingly wanting to paint them as “conservative activists.” But what if the reason this matters is not to counter left-wing politics, or impose right-wing politics, but rather, to drive shareholder value? Is it really that hard to understand why these issues matter to the improvement of company performance? It’s time to unpack!
