In this week’s episode we cover the prospect of Inflation Reduction Act 2.0, rising consumer confidence, the perils of stress bragging, and a new collection of essays about legendary economist Adam Smith. Our interview this week is with Phil Magness, the David J. Theroux Chair in Political Economy at the Independent Institute. We talk about capitalism, slavery, classical liberalism, and keeping the historians honest.
