  • How The Finance Industry Destroys Economies
    Does the finance industry add value, or just chaos? From crashing economies to turning homes into gambling chips, it’s made billions while leaving us questioning its worth. We unpack its core role—connecting capital to land, labor, and ideas—and how it fueled the Industrial Revolution and consumer credit. But today’s mega-banks, high-frequency trades, and info gaps are sucking value dry, boosting inequality instead. Featuring insights from Rana Foroohar (Financial Times) and Warren Buffett’s casino warning—watch if finance is a tool or a trap! Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

  • In Defence of DOGE
    US debt hit $36 trillion—117% of GDP—and DOGE aims to cut $2 trillion from yearly spending. Madness or masterstroke? We’re here to argue why it could work. The 1993 cuts sparked a rare surplus—proof it’s doable. Yes, today’s economy leans hard on government spending (35% of GDP), and high interest rates sting, but America’s unique leverage might just hold. Watch to see why DOGE deserves a chance and what’s at stake. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

    The USA wants to create its own sovereign wealth fund (SWF), but is this a smart move or just wishful thinking? Countries like Norway, China, and the Gulf States use these massive investment funds to generate long-term revenue, but can the U.S. pull it off with soaring debt and low natural resource taxation? In this video, we break down how SWFs work, the challenges the U.S. would face, and whether this is the right tool for the economy. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
