Entrepreneurship is not just about starting businesses. It is about solving problems, creating value, building communities, and improving lives.

In this episode of This Week’s Economy, I discuss how free-market capitalism rewards entrepreneurs, why profit and loss matter, and how strong institutions like property rights, contract enforcement, free trade, and sound policy help people create, invest, and build.

I also cover how tariffs, excessive licensing, high taxes, local restrictions, and rising property taxes can make it harder for entrepreneurs to thrive.

Free people, not central planners, drive prosperity.

Some conservatives are sounding more like the left on economics.

Tariffs. Industrial policy. Government-directed investment. Picking winners and losers. These policies are increasingly being promoted as solutions to America's affordability challenges, but do they actually help families prosper?

In Episode 201 of the Let People Prosper Show, I sit down with Marc Short, Chairman of Advancing American Freedom, former Chief of Staff to Vice President Mike Pence, and one of the key architects of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act.

We discuss the future of conservative economics, why affordability has become the defining political issue, the legacy of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act, and whether tariffs and industrial policy help or hurt economic growth and opportunity.

Affordability continues to dominate the concerns of American families, and for good reason. As prices remain elevated, energy costs are squeezing household budgets, housing has become increasingly out of reach, and the value of every dollar continues to erode. But these problems didn’t appear out of nowhere; much of today’s affordability crisis is the result of years of bad policy.

In this episode of This Week’s Economy, we’ll examine why inflation remains a persistent burden, how housing shortages and overregulation continue driving up living costs, why tax and spending reforms matter for long-run affordability, and what the future of the Federal Reserve under Kevin Warsh could mean for restoring sound money and economic discipline.
