Podcast: Victor Davis Hanson: In His Own Words

Description: Without a free market, the U.S. would not have “liberty,” “prosperity,” or “economic growth.”   Young religious people who are not on the left used to support free markets “by default,” but that’s no longer the case, explains Mark Tooley, president of the Institute on Religion and Democracy. He joined Jack Fowler on this edition of “Victor Davis Hanson: In His Own Words” to discuss the issue. “Several years ago, I led a book study for some of our interns. … We read ‘The Spirit of Democratic Capitalism’ by Michael Novak, a wonderful book … explaining the spirituality and morality of capitalism. And they were not persuaded. … So again, even with Christian young people, Catholic or Protestant, you have to explain what free markets are and what the moral basis is for them.” 👉America is worth preserving.
