This was a challenging conversation and there is much I think is right but there are also several bits of mental and moral gymnastic at work here. Some of them may be explained by some editing choices maybe, (points are mentioned but never articulated) but the one that gets me is there an agreement that the economy should have a moral backing (sounds great) then in the next breath seemingly backing a fascist for president because that person will (in theory) be better for the economy. Then making the point that government micromanage is the road to hell. Which is probably right, but one of those things is not like the others. Economists are a strange lot.

I have to say I didn’t love this conversation as I have loved just about every podcast I’ve watched on this platform. It was so depressing to listen to this discussion.
