Ep. 513: Ayn Rand Returns with Michael Covel on Trend Following Radio
My guest today is Ayn Rand. Rand is best known for her two best selling novels, "The Fountainhead" and "Atlas Shrugged." Michael plays two clips of Donahue interviewing Rand. Rand is controversial, but her thinking is accurate and clear. She breaks down altruism, government regulation, free market, monopoly, God, feminism, terrorism, and many more topics. You may not agree with her on all points, but there is inspiration to be taken away from her passion and to-the-point thinking. The topic is Objectivism. In this episode of Trend Following Radio we discuss: Altruism Government regulation Acting on faith Living by emotion, not reason Women's rights Religion Monopoly Spending money on the un-gifted minds rather than the gifted A "me" society Definition of a dictator Jump in! --- I'm MICHAEL COVEL, the host of TREND FOLLOWING RADIO, and I'm proud to have delivered 10+ million podcast listens since 2012.

Ep. 510: Milton Friedman Returns with Michael Covel on Trend Following Radio
My guest today is Milton Friedman, one of Michael's favorite dead guests to bring on the podcast. Milton foreshadows Uber, talks about the deep state (without mentioning the deep state), brings up airline service and monopoly. His solutions to problems in government 35 years ago were to cut government spending, hold monetary growth back and cut regulations. The same solutions to government are at the forefront of American politics today. Today, Michael curates two interviews between Phil Donahue and Milton Friedman. These interviews were recorded back in the 1980's, but many of the points made are more relevant today than ever. The topic is airline service and monopoly.
