Defending the American Dream with Michael Strain

Free the Economy is a podcast focused on how we all can become happier, healthier, and wealthier in a world with less government control.

This week we talk about investigating the Southwest Airlines holidays delays, the emerging  problems with the electric vehicle revolution, the attack on Airbnb in New York City, a legal victory for home chefs in Wisconsin, and the winner of the Worst Economic Development Deal of the Year for 2022. Our interview this week is with the American Enterprise Institute’s Michael Strain. Michael is the author of The American Dream Is Not Dead: (But Populism Could Kill It), and we talk about how real blue-collar wages in America have not been stagnant for decades, despite what you might have heard.  

Free the Economy is hosted by Richard Morrison. Our producers are Scooter Schaefer and Phoebe Gersten. Keep up with the show by following us on Twitter.
