Capitalism Under Attack — Why Socialism Fails Every Time

In this episode of Capital & Power, Managing Partner of The Bahnsen Group, David Bahnsen, joins to break down the clash between free markets and collectivism. From New York’s political battles to the broader global economy, Bahnsen argues why socialism has failed every time it’s been tried — and why capitalism, rooted in human dignity and freedom, still delivers prosperity.

We cover:

🔹 Why abundance makes us forget the miracle of free markets

🔹 How collectivist policies undermine growth and opportunity

🔹 The moral case for capitalism — dignity, purpose, and human creativity

🔹 Dividends, markets, and why long-term investing beats speculation

🔹 Why envy, not greed, is the real driver of inequality debates

🔹 What AI, foreign capital flows, and New York politics mean for the future of America’s economy

Bahnsen doesn’t pull punches — from calling out failed policies to exposing the flaws in socialist thinking. This is a conversation you can’t afford to miss.
