Vice President JD Vance stated last week in a now infamous interview that the right needs less Milton Friedman and an economic approach more like Alexander Hamilton's. One can hope the VP simply doesn’t understand Milton Friedman, but more than likely this “new right” mentality is trying to draw a line against the laissez faire to the economy favored by Friedman. But when various 21st century voices claim Alexander Hamilton as one of their own in seeking larger government control over the economy, do they actually understand Hamilton correctly? In this Capital Record episode, David is happy to defend Milton Friedman, but also happy to defend Alexander Hamilton, too -- against a revisionism that not only gets its economics wrong, but its history, too.

Tune in to hear guests such as Larry Kudlow, Steve Forbes, and Art Laffer present a practical and moral vindication of America’s capitalist way of life.
