In this week’s episode we cover terrible advice on poverty from the United Nations, reforming the way we regulate banks, and possible new policy directions at the Federal Reserve. Our guest this week is John Berlau, Director of Finance Policy at the Competitive Enterprise Institute and author of George Washington: Entrepreneur: How Our Founding Father’s Private Business Pursuits Changed America and the World. We celebrate the 250th anniversary of American independence with a conversation about how the father of our country was also an innovator and a businessman.
