Carlos and Bob continue their series, summarizing some of the material in Chapter 5 of their new book (co-authored with Nelson Nash). However, because Chapter 5 contains so much material, they are breaking the treatment up into two separate episodes. In this Part I, they address questions such as, “Can only certain people practice IBC?” and, “Shouldn’t I buy term and invest the difference?”
In this special episode, Nelson Nash himself joins Carlos and Bob, to discuss the chapter from their jointly-authored book–The Case for IBC–that draws directly on the material that Nash used in his live presentations to the public. Even for those who are quite familiar with Nash’s work, you’ll glean juicy nuggets from this interview.
Carlos and Bob continue the series covering their new book (co-authored with Nelson Nash). This chapter explains how the process of Infinite Banking rests on the platform of a dividend-paying Whole Life insurance policy. They also mention the standard features of a WL policy that make IBC possible.
On February 27, 2018, Bob was the guest at the student-led Yale Political Union, debating the resolution, “The free market can solve climate change.” A member of the audience captured the audio on his phone; we are presenting here Bob’s opening statement, his Q&A, and his summary statement. (We are editing out the brief speeches given by the students in the middle of the event.) Below is a timeline of some highlights, and then links to further reading on Bob’s work on this topic.
7:52 — Bob explains that higher temperatures mean fewer elderly deaths in the winter. When his opponents hiss, Bob jokes that they don’t care about the elderly.
25:55 — Q&A session begins.
30:30 — Student critic asks if Bob believes in any role for government to provide public goods or utilities. (His answer gets a big cheer.)
31:30 — Bob contrasts government-regulated utility service in the summer with Budweiser.
33:19 — A student critic argues that the American public doesn’t care about climate change, and therefore free market won’t solve the problem. Bob turns this critique on its head.
37:50 — Bob gives summary remarks (after the other students have spoken, though their remarks are not included in this audio).
Carlos and Bob continue the series covering their new book (co-authored with Nelson Nash). This chapter lists the attributes of a hypothetical “perfect investment,” and explains how various assets fare.
Carlos and Bob discuss the basic logic of “tax reform,” and then critically analyze the GOP proposals. They cover some important differences between the House and Senate bills, and point out that Democrats railing against “tax giveaways to the rich” might have a point.
Carlos and Bob extend their warnings about “loose” monetary policy to the real estate market. Remember, the Austrians warned about the last housing bubble in real-time. There are several reasons to think that the “hot” market right now is in trouble.
