Keli’i Akina & Vance Ginn Discuss Why Government Can’t Create Prosperity

Don’t look to Washington for human flourishing.

TALK STORY WITH KELI'I AKINA, TUESDAY, 7/21//26

How do we honestly measure the American dream, and why are politicians missing the real scoreboard of economic success?

A sharper, data-driven framework to challenge political economic rhetoric.

True Economic Prosperity is built by everyday workers and entrepreneurs rather than government spending. 

Join us for an exclusive, rapid-fire conversation with Vance Ginn, Ph.D., President of Ginn Economic Consulting and former Chief Economist at the White House Office of Management and Budget.

In this episode, Dr. Ginn explains how Washington politicians on both sides manipulate data to take credit for wealth they never created.

We will dive into why standard metrics like GDP fail the kitchen-table test, why Actual Individual Consumption (AIC) is the ultimate metric for human flourishing, and how free-market frameworks can dismantle bureaucratic barriers to unlock authentic abundance for working families.
