Teaching Capitalism with Allen Mendenhall

This week we talk about the cost of thriving in America, the incredible expanding CHIPS Act, occupational licensing reform in New Hampshire, and celebrate Adam Smith’s 300th birthday with the moral side of free trade. Our interview this week is with Prof. Allen Mendenhall of Troy University. We discuss attitudes toward capitalism and socialism, global governance, ESG investing, and how threats to freedom have changed over the last fifty years. Free the Economy is hosted by Richard Morrison. Our producers are Scooter Schaefer, Phoebe Gersten, and Ryan Kracinski.
