In this week’s episode of Banter, we continue our ongoing series entitled, “The Road to Freedom.” Stu sits down with AEI President Arthur Brooks and AEI Research Fellow Stan Veuger to discuss a few ideas to get the economy moving again. We start off the discussion with a look at what America has lost, not just monetarily, but culturally and socially. Stan, a new Fellow here at AEI gives a few examples of how we’re following Europe down the same path and what tragedies might lay ahead. Arthur follows up with a few great examples of what we can change to help moving America back towards prosperity.

In the second installment on the AEI Banter podcast’s Road to Freedom series, Arthur Brooks and AEI Senior Fellow Karlyn Bowman discuss American attitudes towards fairness with host Andrew Rugg.
