Maritime Independence and Historical Reflections

Author EM Burlingame joins the podcast to explain the centuries-old process of wealth identification and extraction he's termed the "Financial Kill Chain" which goes back to even before the formation of the Bank of England in 1694.  We establish EM's thesis and apply it to the modern implementation of it as it pertains to the US, the UK and how it's failed in both Putin's Russia and Xi's China.

A fascinating talk that is as profane as it is profound.  Truly not NSFW.
