In the latest episode of the Liberty Ventures podcast, Alexander McCobin speaks with Gonzalo Schwarz, President & CEO of the Archbridge Institute, about the vital role of opportunity and meaning in human flourishing.
Key insights include:
· Stagnating upward mobility: Only 50% of people today out-earn their parents, compared to 90% in the 1940s.
· Declining business dynamism: Startups have dropped from 12% of businesses in the 1970s to just 8% today, with closures matching new ventures.
· The downside of security focus: Prioritizing guaranteed income and jobs can suppress the dynamism needed for innovation and growth.
The conversation emphasizes the need to celebrate purpose-driven entrepreneurs like Sam Walton and Daniel Lubetzky, whose risks and leadership drive progress, solve problems, and create upward mobility.
By amplifying these stories, we can inspire a culture of dynamism, innovation, and limitless opportunity for future generations.
