About this listen

 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.National Review Economics Political Science Politics & Government

    Episode 257: Baby and Bathwater
    Sep 18 2025

    David looks at the danger that happens when we use hasty generalizations in our economic thinking. A company does something bad? Companies are bad. A business deal goes bad? Business deals are bad. A trading partners does wrong? Trading partners are bad. The illogical movement from a particular to a universal is flawed thinking, but when it gets put into practice, it undermines optimal economic outcomes and ignores the most basic of economic principles.
