In this Substack Live interview, Kerry Lutz sits down with Dennis Kneale to discuss his new book, Oregoners: How One State Chased Away Business and People. Kneale argues that Oregon serves as a warning for the rest of the country, detailing how decades of government policies contributed to business flight, job losses, rising crime, homelessness, and economic decline.
The conversation explores the impact of environmental regulations on Oregon's once-thriving logging industry, Portland's struggles with vacancies and public safety, and the broader consequences of political decision-making. Lutz and Kneale also examine underreported developments involving the Panama Canal, Venezuela, fentanyl enforcement efforts, and the ongoing debate over climate policies and carbon emissions.
Their discussion offers a candid look at government policy, economic growth, and the challenges facing states across America.
