John speaks with author and wealth expert David Bahnsen on the moral and economic forces shaping modern society. They explore the meaning of work, the soul of capitalism, and the erosion of cultural values, offering insights rooted in faith and timeless principles. Bahnsen's vision of flourishing challenges the errors of status quo thought, blending hope with sound economics. John and David also tackle the challenges facing Western civilisation, including globalisation's impact on labor, the hollowing out of communities, and the profound need for a return to moral foundations. David Bahnsen is the managing partner of a wealth-management firm and a frequent writer and public commentator on matters of politics, economics, faith and work, and markets. He is the author of several books, the latest being Full-Time: Work and the Meaning of Life. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Conversations feature John Anderson, former Deputy Prime Minister of Australia, interviewing the world's foremost thought leaders about today's pressing social, cultural and political issues.
