To Serve Man

Scary times could be just around the corner. To help you prepare for that we've invited our old friend Carol Roth to stop by and talk about her new book, You Will Own Nothing... because you don't have to be a parnoid prepper to be prepared for what's coming. And, of course, James Lileks, Rob Long and Steve Hayward (sitting in again for the roaming Peter Robinson) cover the more immediate news coming down from the Summit - the NATO Summit, The Family Leadership Summit in Iowa (with Tucker Carlson presiding) and the Mickey Mouse Summit where Disney introduces a Latina Snow White and the Lone Dwarf while their CEO Bob Iger announces "that it’s not our goal to be involved in a culture war.” Say wut?!? Opening sound this week: Tucker Carlson and former Vice-President Mike Pence clash in Iowa. (Blaze TV)

We Bring Good Things to Life

We're rollin' in the dough this week with a double dip of interesting business talk. First up are Thomas Gryta and Ted Mann of The Wall Street Journal who look at the rise and fall of one of America's iconic companies. In Lights Out: Pride, Delusion, and the Fall of General Electric, Gryta and Mann lay out the consequences that came from believing in the mythology GE created for itself. Then we move from Wall Street to Main Street where Carol Roth (she of The Roth Effect found right here on Ricochet) talks about the biggest transfer of wealth in history in her new book, The War on Small Business: How the Government Used the Pandemic to Crush the Backbone of America (available on June 29th). And congratulations to @PrestonStorm for taking home the coveted Lilek’s Post of the Week for his post "I Wish Libertarians Would Pick Better Battles and Heroes" Music from this week’s episode: Taking Care of Business by Bachman Turner Overdrive.
