  The Limitations of Traditional Investments 
  Traditional investments stocks, bonds, and cash have been the backbone of most investment portfolios for decades. They offer liquidity, are relatively easy to understand, and provide a clear path to wealth accumulation over time. However, in today's complex financial landscape, these traditional investments may not be enough to meet all investor needs. Market volatility, low interest rates, and high correlation among asset classes can expose investors to risks that can significantly impact their portfolios. 
  For example, during the 2008 financial crisis, global stock markets plunged, and the value of many portfolios dropped precipitously. Even bond markets, which are typically seen as safer investments, were not immune to the turmoil. This scenario highlighted a significant limitation of traditional investments: when markets crash, these assets often move together, leading to significant losses across a portfolio. Investors who were heavily weighted in stocks and bonds had little protection against the downturn, which underscored the need for diversification beyond these traditional assets.

  In Bringing Adam Smith into the American Home, authors Jack Ryan and John Tamny make a powerful case that the purchase of a home slows wealth attainment—rendering owners immobile in ways that further restrain their wealth chances—and that the act of homeownership deprives owners of the time and ability to do what they do best, which further dampens individual economic achievement. 
   
   
   
  Thanks to the residential real estate pricing cartel, homeownership has become so costly that it has erected wildly expensive barriers to the very mobility that powers so much individual prosperity. As the cartel prospers, homebuyers and sellers alike suffer its rigidity. Ryan and Tamny call for the evisceration of realtor commissions—the only price in all of capitalism that has not come down even a little over the decades despite capitalism's brilliant track record of bringing down the price of everything. Ryan, owner of a national residential realty business, recognizes that the very commissions realtors cling to are paradoxically harming them, all the while discreetly but powerfully shrinking prosperity for everyone else. 
   
   
   
  In a book chock-full of insights from Adam Smith, Ryan and Tamny make their highly original argument available for all as they reveal the truth about the housing market and homeownership.

  In The Great Re-Start, noted financial expert and multiple New York Times bestselling author John Mauldin helps you understand the enormous and widespread social, political, and financial problems we are facing. Multiple different cycle theories all suggest a crisis coming at the end of the decade. Mauldin enables you to find your own personal path through them, as various crises reach a breaking point in the next few years. Analyzing the theories of leading thought leaders in the field along with viewpoints of his own, Mauldin delivers a nuanced view of historical cycles and what they tell us about the rest of this decade. 
  In this book, listeners will learn about the theories of Neil Howe, who originally predicted the very conditions we are going through today in the '90s; Peter Turchin, who focuses on the overproduction of "elites" and the disparities in income and wealth it creates and forecasts a potentially violent pushback; Ray Dalio, who uses a sixteen-variable model to quantify and predict past and probable future cycles and now suggests a 40% possibility of a civil war; and more. 
  The Great Re-Start is an essential, timely listen for all individuals and families seeking clarity on the problems plaguing humanity, protection from the chaos, and insight on how we can pave a better path forward.
