In this book, James Burnham analyzes the works of Machiavelli and other Machiavellian thinkers such as Gaetano Mosca, Georges Sorel, Robert Michels, and Vilfredo Pareto. Burnham argues that politics is fundamentally a struggle for power among competing elites, who use deception, manipulation, and coercion to maintain their dominance. He advocates for a scientific approach to politics, separating ethics from political analysis, and suggests that political liberty can be preserved by creating a balance of power among different elite groups. The book provides a realistic and pragmatic understanding of human nature and social dynamics, highlighting the importance of individual freedom and the perpetual struggle of elite classes in shaping political outcomes.
This book delves into the history and operations of the Federal Reserve, exposing what the author believes are its secretive and manipulative practices. Griffin argues that the Federal Reserve, despite its name, is not a government entity but a cartel of bankers who have significant control over the U.S. monetary system. The book details the clandestine meeting on Jekyll Island where the plans for the Federal Reserve were formulated and how this system has led to economic instability, wars, and other societal issues. Written in an accessible style, the book aims to educate readers about the inner workings of the financial system and the potential dangers of fiat currency and central banking[1][4][5].

Join Tom Bilyeu and his co-host Drew as they tackle hot-button issues—from national protests and government response to the growing concerns of political polarization and economic instability.
As the headlines scream about cities on fire and rumors of civil war swirl, Tom and Drew challenge each other's perspectives, debating how much of our current climate is real versus media-fueled overdramatization. They'll share their unique “inside the car vs. drone’s-eye view” approach to understanding how local experiences and national trends collide.
In this episode, they break down the waves of protest in LA, the government’s response, and the political strategies at play—especially in the context of Trump’s and Newsom’s public standoff. Plus, they don’t shy away from the hard questions: Are we witnessing the early signs of a larger societal unraveling? How do personal freedoms, law and order, and economic distress fit into the bigger picture? And what can history—and thinkers like Ray Dalio—teach us about what might come next?
