Sourcery · David Friedberg on the Economic Crisis Nobody Wants to Fix · 22 Jul 2026 podcast

It starts with everyone kind of looking in the mirror and being like, OK, we fucked up.

And by the way, I'm a hardcore libertarian.

So all of this is like foreign to me.

I'm like in this weird like, you know, it's like, what am I doing?

Talking about like charging more taxes.

I'm like at the end of the day.

We do live in a society with other people.

Libertarianism works well if you're willing to leave people behind and you don't expect that the social structure will become disordered over time, but it does become disordered over time.

If everyone lives on an island and there's a guy on a hill in a hut and he's making all this food and he's really good at making food and the hut fills up with food, what are the other 99 people on the island going to do if they don't have food?

They're going to go get the food.

They're going to say, we want that food.

You could all sign a document that says the rules are we can't touch each other's stuff.

But that's what's going to happen.

We've got to fix the rules because we do live in a society where everyone's got to feel like they have opportunity to transition from labor to capital.

2% a year would be my metric for America.

And we've got to try and make amends in this moment without letting it become a dark, shadowy fight.

No.

I don't think it's about making America great again.

I think it's about making Americans feel good again.

I think that's like what's fucked up right now.
