Thinking about Capitalism | Julius Krein

In this episode:
Julius Krein, founder and editor of American Affairs journal, joins the podcast to talk about problems in America’s advanced post-industrial economy, and how we can address issues like family policy, debt, innovation, taxation, and labor markets.
How Americans should really think about capitalism as “private wealth accumulation,” and break out of the “textbook economics” bookish view of market systems, important as they might be.
What listeners need to know about the landscape of the political and social realignment in recent American history, and where the Right needs to continue moving to create a new “inside consensus” on various policy fronts.

We’re not doing conservatism anymore.

My how ISI has fallen. Let's talk about Capitalism with someone who wants a technocracy and mercantilism.

[@rickvinson8324]

Absolutely. These national conservatives are exposing themselves as being philosophically indistinguishable from leftists.

China has a mercantilist economy in which American corporations benefited from cheap Chinese Labor. If you don't address inequality you are going to get a Socialist revolution.
