In this episode, Dr. Robert Litan, co-Author of "Good Capitalism, Bad Capitalism" and "Better Capitalism," discusses why economic growth remains an important priority, why not all forms of capitalism are created equal, and why we need a continuous entrepreneurial revolution.

Along the way, Dr. Litan shares his thoughts on the role immigration plays in spurring innovation and economic growth, the importance of AI, and the ability of entrepreneurship to help overcome the challenges of climate change.

Since Guy was away at a conference, James was joined by Dr. Sue Lynn Sasser, professor of economics (Emeritus) at the University of Central Oklahoma for this conversation.
