• The 1980s Boom: How Wall Street Took Over the Economy

  The 1980s weren’t just shoulder pads and synthesizers—they were the launchpad for a new era of American capitalism. This video unpacks the forces behind the U.S. economic boom from 1982 to 1990: Paul Volcker’s war on inflation, Reagan’s supply-side revolution, massive federal deficits, and the rise of Wall Street as the command center of the economy.We’ll break down how the U.S. went from recession and stagflation to surging GDP growth, soaring asset markets, and a new class of financial elites. Was this real prosperity—or a speculative sugar high built on debt and deregulation?Using charts, quotes, and hard data, we separate the myth from the math.Join My Substack and Email List: https://nickpardini.substack.com/

We track this elusive group across empires and modern economies, from Roman scribes to postwar homeowners, Swiss retirees, and China's urban climbers. What defines a real middle class, and why does it keep shrinking? Follow the data.

• Is There Such Thing as Catholic Economics

  Is there such a thing as “Catholic economics”? In this episode, we explore the surprising roots and enduring relevance of distributism—an economic philosophy grounded in Catholic social teaching. Championed by thinkers like G.K. Chesterton and Hilaire Belloc, distributism rejects both unchecked capitalism and state socialism, arguing instead for widespread ownership of productive property.We’ll break down the principles behind Rerum Novarum, Quadragesimo Anno, and other papal encyclicals that outline the Church’s views on labor, capital, the dignity of work, and the moral limits of markets. Whether you’re Catholic, curious, or just tired of the left-right economic binary, this video offers an alternative lens on how societies might structure their economies—with justice and subsidiarity at the center.
