Today I would like to talk about “Abundance and Affordability Are Linked — Is It True?” Can it ever be talked through?

It starts with a system of reliable money that promotes savings and investment. Division of labour, free flow of capital — these are all continuations of the same goal and same concept in different functions and flows.

Another update: I attended a conference recently called “The Housing Affordability Crisis” which made me feel this topic was most important — more than usual at the very least.

The inspiration for this series is the Ordinary Abundance website — and I would urge you to check it out for yourself and marvel at the extraordinary ordinary abundance of modern life.

Today I would like about how the “Men Of The Mind Are True Value Creators”.

The unholy alliance of popes, bishops, kings and dukes was at the peak of power for the longest time in the last millennium. Yet the wealth creators were forced to take part in this system and become pragmatists to keep their businesses running. These kinds of pragmatist deals with government continue to run business decisions. Yet free flow of capital drives abundance toward people who enjoy that abundance like you and me.

Today I would like to talk to you about how Economic Power is Enhanced When Capital is Free to Find Talent. This talk continues with the rise of the Dutch Golden Age and how the Dutch Fluyt merchant ship wasn’t their last innovation. Picking up from where we left off last week, I keep exploring further inventions from centuries ago. More boats, means more goods and more creative control rather than everyone just wait around to use the 2 boats that someone else owned.

Today’s episode recorded on this Labor Day in 2026 is called “Capitalism — A Defence of Individual Rights” and continues the topic of Ordinary Abundance and the inventions that have suffused our lives with ease and productivity .

It is impossible to quantify the time and material luxuries we enjoy in the 21st century because of economic power replacing political power, because of political liberty replacing feudalism, because of capitalism replacing tribal cultures as a driving force.

The inspiration for this series is this wonderful website. I would urge you to check it out for yourself and marvel at the extraordinary ordinary abundance of modern life.

In keeping with the tradition we started last year, we are posting this year’s first podcast on a very special day — September 2, which in 1946, was the day that Ayn Rand began writing her magnum opus — Atlas Shrugged.

Today I would like to start a new series about the ordinary abundance of our daily lives — the inventions that gird our world and the enormous risks in capital that created them for us, and the time and heavy labour they made free. They have created the most valuable commodity for us — time. We couldn’t live without these effeciencies but they are so normal to us, it is impossible to think of an era when they didn’t exist. Join me as I explore the history of abundance in our modern world!

The inspiration for this series is this wonderful website. I would urge you to check it out for yourself and marvel at the extraordinary ordinary abundance of modern life.

Today we come to the end of season 1 of the Moneyball Method Podcast. And what a ride it’s been.

In this season finale, I want to talk to you about the experience of creating this podcast, some of our greatest hits, my ideals, my motivations, my values and what I hope to achieve in the future with season 2, which will restart on the exact same day we started season 1 — September 2. If you are an Objectivist you know the importance of September 2 in the Atlas Shrugged, I won’t spoil it for you, but it is also the date when Ayn Rand began writing Atlas Shrugged — her greatest intellectual artistic project. We are so proud as a team to be honoring her in a small way with our own intellectual, artistic project and we are happy to have you all along as we try and make an impact with the Moneyball Method.

See you around in Season 2!

Today I want to talk about “Mind, Body and Spirit — An Emotional Reinforcement by Fine Art.” We are all about making money here at the Moneyball Method, but that isn’t because money has some intrinsic value. Are you striving just to make money? Do you want to build a lifestyle or make a goldmine? What lifestyle are you trying to create? Could art be a part of that lifestyle? On today’s episode we answer the question “To make money for what?”

Today I want to talk about “Simulating All Potential Outcomes” — I’ve discovered people refuse to do this for most fields, but especially in the fields of health and finance. I refer to previous podcasts about Intellectual Shrinkage and Physical Health to ask — what is the evidence for the fact that people prefer conforming to social pressure rather than simulating all outcomes? And on this podcast — we find the answer.

Today I want to talk about “The Elegance of Markets — A Chess Affair”. The market system of Western Economies is extremely elegant, but very few people know how interestingly elegant it is. When I say elegant — I mean that the market is efficient, simple, ingenious and graceful. I noticed a couple of weeks ago that there were articles in the press about they had done simulations at JP Morgan to outperform a generic portfolio of stocks and bonds. Listen to the podcast to learn my conclusions about the meaning of these news reports.

Today I want to talk about “Intellectual Shrinkage and Economic Shrinkage — My Take On Tara Smith’s Talk At ARC”. I got my degree in accounting and to me shrinkage is an accounting term that means “theft of inventory”. However Tara Smith defined intellectual shrinkage as a decline in your ability to think in abstract concepts — a critically important aspect separating human life from animals. What are the costs of such a shrinkage then?

Today I want to talk about “How Are Savings And Investments Punished In Modern Society”. There are three factors that are involved in impairing savings and investments despite them being the primary driver of economic prosperity — government taxation, social pressures and subjective values. While government taxation is spoken about often in this context, the other two factors are less focused on.

Today I want to talk “Is Digital Currency A True Form Of Money?” We have gone through a few weeks of the history of money going from Sumeria to the Renaissance. We have understood that to be a reliable store of value — money must be scarce and difficult to reproduce. Historically must also be durable, it must also have trust — an inherent value that is not dependent on the person you are doing business with. Can all of this be said about Digital Currency? Lets dive in!

Today I want to talk to you about “4000 Years of Monetary History — Part II”. We left history last week at the Bronze Age. Now we look at Classical Greece and the kind of money they used.

How did this work? What were their lives like? Join me as we go on a discovery!
