Episode 18: Everything Is Awesome? — with Marian Tupy
On episode 18 of the Charles C. W. Cooke—this one with extra nutrients—Charles explains why he was even more appalled by the State of the Union than he is usually, and then talks to Marian Tupy about why things are much better economically than they ever have been, and why that could continue indefinitely if we don’t screw it up (which we might).

Show Notes
It's the day after the Super Bowl, and that means it's time for episode 18 of The Charles C. W. Cooke Podcast, which, this week, features a monologue about last week's remarkably embarrassing State of the Union address (which shouldn't exist), and an interview with Marian Tupy, co-author of Superabundance: The Story of Population Growth, Innovation, and Human Flourishing on an Infinitely Bountiful Planet.
Are we richer than medieval peasants? Is it easier to buy a vacuum cleaner now than it used to be? Why is a bigger population not only not bad, but good? Do statist conservatives have a point when they complain about free markets? Is environmentalism a religion? Why does cancel culture threaten the economy? Charles asks all these questions—and more. Listen, or don't. It's up to you.
