Books and Insight with Frank LavinEli Merritt, Author of "Disunion Among Ourselves"Frank Lavin talks with Eli Merritt, Professor at Vanderbilt and the author of "Disunion Among Ourselves," to discuss the critical issues the Continental Congress faced at the dawn of the American republic, with the most important failure being the failure to eliminate slavery. Eli discusses how the sectional differences and the need to forge some type of political consensus drove the Founders to leave this issue unresolved. In addition to his book, Eli also suggests reading Jeffrey Rosen's book, "The Pursuit of Happiness," which explores how the Founders were inspired by classical discussions of virtue.

Bold and BluntReagan, still great after all these yearsPolls consistently show Ronald Reagan is considered one of America's greatest and favorite presidents and after all these years, it's still easy to understand why: He was the great communicator who looked at America through the rosiest of glasses. He saw the good in people. He saw the good in the nation. And he constantly inspired all to seek the good, no matter their individual circumstances. Today, the political climate is far too divided to expect a unity of any sorts from Washington, D.C. But back in Reagan's day, his leadership helped fuel some of the greatest feats...

Global Economy PodcastChina – Is it Still Open for Business? With Frank Lavin”China isn’t for wimps”, Frank Lavin used to say when he was the Undersecretary of Commerce in the U.S. administration. Despite fast market growth and a demand for foreign goods, it was never easy doing business in China. Now it is getting harder still – at least in sectors where Beijing is increasing regulatory barriers – and some suggest there is already an economic decoupling between China and the West.
