155. IMF & World Bank Misery Industry with Alex Gladstein
Alex Gladstein joins us to discuss the destructive influence of the World Bank and IMF on the development of poor countries, and how fiat facilitates their operation, a topic discussed extensively in Saifedean's book, The Fiat Standard. With an infinite fiat credit line from the Federal Reserve, the "misery industry" is always looking for an excuse to get countries indebted, and the results have been catastrophic for the world's poor, but highly lucrative for fiat banking cartels.Resources (All links available on saifedean.com/podcast/155-imf-world-bank-misery-industry-with-alex-gladstein)Alex Gladstein's article: Structural Adjustment: How the IMF & World Bank repress poor countries and funnel their resources to rich onesAlex Gladstein's book: Check Your Financial PrivilegeFull text of Fiat States, Chapter 11 of The Fiat StandardEnjoyed this episode?

"We are screwing up in our design of internet protocols by violating the principle of layering. Specifically we are trying to use TCP to do two things: serve as a host level end to end protocol, and to serve as an internet packaging and routing protocol. These two things should be provided in a layered and modular way. I suggest that a new distinct internetwork protocol is needed, and that TCP be used strictly as a host level end to end protocol."

143. Macro Myths with Coinbits' Rowais Hanna
Rowais Hanna operates Coinbits' Twitter account, and has used it to publish fascinating in-depth investigations into the common myths of modern macroeconomics. He joins us to discuss the Consumer Price Index, how it is calculated, and the endless justifications used to adjust it. We also discuss the mythical origins of the 2% inflation target, and the trade-off between unemployment and inflation, and why supposedly empirical economists refuse to ever admit it is invalid. Rowais also discusses why he views bitcoin as the only way out of this mess, and how Coinbits helps onboard newcomers to bitcoin in a smooth and easy-to-understand way. We conclude with a discussion of Rowais' thoughts on bitcoin through a Biblical lens.References (All links available on saifedean.com/podcast/143-macro-myths-with-coinbits-rowais-hanna)Rent Equivalence Fiat-splanationCPI “misconception” response from BLSNY Fed Research connecting credit expansion and tuition risingRowais’ essay on Bitcoin through a Biblical LensThe Origins of 2 Percent Inflation Target – Mises .org Rowais’ tweet about being at the Egyptian Central Bank Sheikh Imam, The Ballad of Beans and MeatCoinbits blog The philips curve is actually a blobCoinbits ultimate ThreadSaifedean’s first book, The Bitcoin Standard.Saifedean’s second book, The Fiat Standard.Enjoyed this episode?

139. Fossil Future with Alex Epstein
Alex Epstein joins us again to discuss his excellent new book, Fossil Future, which makes a powerful case for why fossil fuels are essential for human flourishing, and why restricting them is the real crisis facing humanity. Alex explains how overhyped the supposed ‘alternatives’ to fossil fuels are, and how fossil fuels remain completely essential for our modern standards of living, and why their use is constantly growing. Why do fossil fuels represent the only realistic alternative to poverty and early death for everyone on earth? Why do carbonhysterics only focus on the supposed negative impacts of fossil fuels, but never their benefits? Why is it so hard to have an honest debate with carbonhysterics? We also discuss how the use of fossil fuels was instrumental in ending slavery and liberating women, and whether fiat inflation is the driver of the propaganda to vilify fossil fuels. We conclude with a discussion of whether fossil fuels really are from fossils, or if they are naturally occurring in earth.Resources (All links available on saifedean.com/podcast/139-fossil-future-with-alex-epstein)Alex’s book Fossil Future Get a free copy of Alex’s book from fossilfuture.comSubscribe to Alex’s Substack “Energy Talking Points”A Question of Power: Electricity and the Wealth of Nations by Robert BryceThree billion people use less electricity than the average American fridge.Alex's podcast interview with Professor Mukul Sharma on fracking18 spectacularly wrong climate predictions from the 1970s, including several made by Paul Ehrlich.Alex’s Congressional Testimony, May 19, 2021Alex eviscerates COP26 on GB NewsSaifedean’s first book, The Bitcoin StandardSaifedean’s second book, The Fiat StandardAlex's previous appearances on The Bitcoin Standard podcast:TBS16: Wholesome HydrocarbonsTBS90: Climate HysteriaEnjoyed this episode?

What on earth is going on in Europe and how did things get so bad? In this seminar, we discuss the double calamity of skyrocketing energy costs and plummeting pensions and currencies. While high time preference fiat media obsesses over the latest scapegoats, we look into the long-term drivers of these two problems: Decades of green hysteria leading to dismantling of reliable power sources & underinvestment in reliable power generation. And decades of Keynesian dogma convincing the people whose pensions are being destroyed their government can pay for everything at no cost. Does the UK really need to spend 10% of its GDP on public healthcare? What exactly is it about medical care that makes it have to be so expensive and always getting more expensive?
