Episode 293: Middle Class Resentment, David French, and a Free Market Economy

from Capital Record · host David L. Bahnsen

David French wrote a provocative piece in the New York Times recently asking the very legitimate question, “If people are doing better, why are they more resentful?” In today’s Capital Record, David Bahnsen looks at the macroeconomic picture, reviews the thesis of our crisis of responsibility, unpacks the difference between greed and envy, and suggests a culprit that is at least a good starting place for improving those who feel left out of the modern economy. "How Can America Be So Miserable When It's So Rich?" Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company. See pcm.adswizz.com for information about our collection and use of personal data for advertising.
