Episode 172: Fifty Years of Capital Markets
Listen now
Description
David holds the microphone himself today, taking advantage of his 50th birthday to look at what 50 years of progress in capital markets in our country has meant to the cause of human flourishing. In a time where many use class warfare or dumbed-down sentimentality to demonize financial markets, David lets history render its empirical verdict as to how capital markets have enhanced human flourishing, and does so with a nod to trade-offs and a full cost-benefits analysis. The results speak for themselves: Fifty more years of growing, robust, free, innovative capital markets, please.
