Enough Already: Stop Provoking Russia | Carus Michaelangelo
The Ukraine war rages on and while the media and political classes repeat the “Putin started it” mantra, the evidence points elsewhere. The US government and its European allies have provoked Russia for years, hoping it would lead to an outbreak of war.

Tariffs, Protectionism, and Why Borders Matter | Wanjiru Njoya
The political zeitgeist is to embrace protectionism, leading some who support free trade to embrace open borders. However, as Murray Rothbard explained, people and societies are complex entities and what may work for trade does not work for open immigration.

Understanding the Basics of Modern Banking | J.R. MacLeod

The Fed’s specialty is propaganda through data, with a long record of failure. This is by design. Their communication tools must work in overtime, particularly in the face of a decision like this, to avoid “spooking markets”, though this veneer is easy to see through.
Narrated by Millian Quinteros.
