A Conservative Perspective

“This was recommended to me by NPROne under their “New Perspective.” I really respect that NPR has this built into their app. It’s nice to hear what kind of solutions the other side has to offer, even if I don’t agree with them. I would recommend the economic policy focused episodes like the one on homelessness in Seattle. I am a graduate student in economics, and it was interesting to see where I was able to find common ground with the speaker and where I was not. However, the episodes on social issues were very difficult for me to get though. The speaker on race relations actually said “the only problem blacks today have is freedom.” The speaker (who was black) seems to feel that his own personal experience should be universal. Since he was able to become successful, it should be just as easy for everyone else. I want to give him the benefit of ignorance. He seemed to be completely unaware of the lack of generational family wealth, property, and connections which make getting ahead far more difficult for black families. We don’t all start life on an even economic playing field. Just as the child of a plumber is less likely to become a millionaire than the child of a tech tycoon. Yes it’s possible, but the plumbers kid is gonna have to work a whole lot harder.”

“I have been trying to find a balanced podcast that is smart, and can offer various perspectives. This one fits the bill. If you enjoy the Hoover institute podcasts, you’ll love this one. Give it a shot!”
