In this episode of The P.A.S. Report Podcast, Professor Nicholas Giordano sits down with economist and author Richard Salsman to dissect the myths and misconceptions surrounding capitalism. They break down how tariffs act as hidden taxes on consumers, the Federal Reserve’s role in fueling inflation, and why America hasn’t been a pure capitalist nation in decades. The conversation dives into the dangers of government intervention in both the economy and education, the national debt crisis, and the urgent need for school choice to restore economic literacy. This is a must-listen for anyone who wants to understand the real differences between capitalism and socialism, and how government overreach is undermining both our economy and our freedom.
