• how Americans should really think about capitalism as “private wealth accumulation,” and break out of the “textbook economics” bookish view of  market systems, important as they might be
• what listeners need to know about the landscape of the political and social realignment in recent American history, and where the Right needs to continue moving to create a new “inside consensus” on various policy fronts
