## Resource

Is America experiencing an unprecedented economic boom or sliding toward stagflation? Kevin Freeman examines the competing narratives shaping our future. From the AI revolution and commercial space race to inflation, national debt, and Main Street’s struggles, this episode compares today’s economy with the Roaring Twenties, the space race, the dot-com era, and the Reagan recovery. Discover why history suggests both narratives can be true at the same time, and learn practical principles for building resilience through sound money, energy independence, hard assets, technological innovation, and economic preparedness. Kevin also explores the geopolitical competition with China, the importance of liberty, security, and values investing, and why family preparedness matters in uncertain times. Get practical ideas for navigating America’s economic future while understanding the forces shaping markets, policy, and national security.
