ÜBER DIESEN PODCAST 🔗
The economy feels rigged — but what if we could de-rig it? De-Riggable dives into the hidden mechanics of money, value, and power. Hosts Steve Taft, a former financial advisor and author, and Ben Wright, a systems engineer, break down how markets work (and don’t), and what a truly free economy might look like. Candid, curious, and sometimes uncomfortable, this is capitalism under the microscope.

When someone says a regulation "hurts this company," Steve says it's answering the wrong question. The real question is what it does for that company's competitors — and for everyone shut out of the game entirely.
His proof is IBM in 1969. A monopoly so total that Seymour Cray's faster, c…

FRÜHERE EPISODEN 🔗
Look at a thick book of regulations and you're looking at a fossil record of desperation — every rule marks a spot where someone couldn't refuse a bad deal and the system had to step in. This episode traces regulation back to its real source: not bureaucratic appetite, but the moments where people …
Nobody designed the desperation economy. It evolved — through layers of policies, competitive pressure, and individually rational decisions that produced collectively irrational results. This episode asks whether that makes it evil, starting from a listener's sharp challenge to the show's position.…
In this episode of De-Riggable, Ben and Steve name a force that quietly sets prices across the entire economy but rarely gets called what it is: desperation. Not demand. Not preference. The inability to say no without harm.

What happens when the loudest political voices belong to whoever has the most money?
In this episode of De-Riggable, Ben and Steve argue that one of the most dangerous ideas in modern politics is the claim that money equals speech.

This week on De-Riggable, Ben and Steve try to pin down a slippery word: distortion. They separate “disruptions” (like hurricanes and broken ports) from enduring distortions we create through policy—especially laws that tilt markets long-term. Along the way, they wrestle with a thorny case: price g…
Ben and Steve use this episode of De-Riggable to explore a truth most people sense but rarely analyze: every tax rule distorts something. Focusing first on Texas’s new homestead exemption increases — including expanded breaks for homeowners 65+ — they examine how incentives shift for both long-time…
In this episode of De-Riggable, Ben and Steve pull on a loose thread in the sweater of capitalism — and it starts to unravel fast. What begins as a joke about snake bars turns into a clear-eyed look at why income taxes quietly distort the entire value structure of labor. In this episode Ben and Ste…
We like to think value lasts — but what if it never does?
In this conversation, Ben and Steve break down why “store of value” might be capitalism’s most comforting lie. They explore how money, wealth erode over time unless effort renews them — and why accepting that decay might be the key to buildi…
