Let People Prosper Econ 101: Do Markets Fail Us? | This Week's Economy Ep. 131
The conservative movement is growing. In the days since the assassination of Charlie Kirk, many have stepped forward to advance traditional values and conservative ideals. There is much to elevate in this renewed movement.
But it must remain anchored in the pro-growth principles that have fueled conservative victories throughout American history. Conservatives have long resisted government spending and control. Yet today, too many conservatives support tariffs, industrial policy, and special favors for select businesses. These are forms of economic socialism—central planning that shifts power from the people to politicians.
What we need instead is a principled, practical defense of free markets—and the courage to press leaders to embrace it, even when it’s politically inconvenient. That’s why I’ve put together a list of basic economic principles.
In today’s episode of This Week’s Economy, join me for Econ 101 as we explore whether markets ever truly fail.
