Partisan vitriol threatens the economy—and lives

Acton Unwind - A podcast by Acton Institute - Mondays

This week, special guest David Bahnsen joins Eric Kohn, Sam Gregg, and Dan Hugger as they discuss inflation in America hitting a 40-year high. What’s driving the present persistent inflation? How is our present economic malaise different from our last bout of persistent inflation in the 1970s? How does political polarization hamper our ability to respond effectively to economic crises? The second half of the program is dedicated to a review and evaluation of the ongoing work of the January 6 committee, as well as the recent assassination attempt on Supreme Court justice Brett Kavanaugh. What does the emerging tendency toward political violence say about America? How does our present partisan politics fuel this disturbing trend?   Subscribe to our podcasts   Higher Unemployment Rate Looms as the Fed Fights Inflation | The Wall Street Journal    There's No Free Lunch: 250 Economic Truths | David Bahnsen   In First Jan. 6 Hearing, Graphic Footage and Stark Testimony Show Depth of Attack | The New York Times   Who Is the Former TV News Chief Helping the Jan. 6 Committee? | The New York Times   Armed Man Traveled to Justice Kavanaugh’s Home to Kill Him, Officials Say | The New York Times Hosted on Acast.
