Turning Hard Times Into Good Times

Barron’s Columnist Gene Epstein and Ilana Mercer author of “Into the Cannibal’s Pot” will join us to talk about the damages caused to our economic well-being, personal liberty and safety from the government's confiscation of property and market intervention. In her book, Ilana points out that the post apartheid South Africa has become a very dangerous place to live in largely because of the removal of property rights and a mal functioning legal system worse even than before apartheid. Epstein shares Ilana’s concerns about property rights but he also focuses on the role America’s corporatism has played in the housing depression and the general decline in our economy. Rather than call our economic system “fascist” or “corporatist” Epstein simply labels it CRAPitalism. What about the markets? Arch Crawford will join us to tell us what the heavenly bodies are telling him and at the start of the show, Michel Bouchard, Pres & CEO of Clifton Star will join us.
