#351 - Rev. Fr. Emmanuel Lemelson: GameStop, SEC Censorship, and Orthodox Christianity
Father Emmanuel Lemelson is a thoughtful and reflective leader with a deep understanding of Christian teachings regarding wealth and finance. Historically, Christians avoided the practice of usury, viewing it as contrary to their faith. However, Father Lemelson acknowledges that today's Christians, across the spectrum, are involved in capital markets, both directly and indirectly. He contemplates the moral complexities of such involvement and reflects on the saying that the love of money is the root of all evil, expressing a need for discernment in these matters. His insights offer a bridge between traditional values and contemporary financial practices.
Rev. Fr. Emmanuel Lemelson is a Greek Orthodox priest, activist investor, and creator of The Fr. Emmanuel Lemelson Podcast, which reveals the darkest corners of government, Wall Street, and culture with commentary from an Orthodox Christian perspective.

#350 - Matt Kennard: The US Empire Declassified - CIA, Censorship, and Foreign Wars
Matt Kennard is an investigative journalist and author renowned for his incisive reporting on global power structures. His career spans several influential years, predominantly during his tenure at the Financial Times, where his assignments took him across the United States—New York and Washington, D.C.—and around the globe, including Haiti, Bolivia, Turkey, and Palestine. Through his extensive on-ground investigations, Kennard uncovered a pervasive yet largely unspoken truth: the existence of a U.S. empire that subtly governs international affairs. Despite its significant influence, this concept remains conspicuously absent from mainstream media discourse, notably in esteemed publications like the Financial Times. Kennard’s work seeks to illuminate this invisible empire, challenging readers and audiences to recognize and confront the underlying dynamics shaping our world.

#346 - Professor Steve Keen: What Really Causes Inflation, Hard Money and Bitcoin's Big Flaw
Professor Steve Keen is an Australian economist renowned for his critical stance on mainstream economic theories, particularly neoclassical economics. He holds degrees from the University of Sydney and a Ph.D. from the University of New South Wales. Keen has become a prominent figure for his analyses of financial instability and economic crises, advocating for the inclusion of complex systems theory and Hyman Minsky's financial instability hypothesis in economic models. His book "Debunking Economics: The Naked Emperor Dethroned?" challenges the foundations of traditional economic thought. Additionally, he developed the "Minsky" software tool to model economic systems incorporating banking and debt, reflecting Minsky's theories. Keen is also noted for predicting the 2008 global financial crisis based on his analysis of rising private debt levels.
Keen has held academic positions, including as an associate professor at the University of Western Sydney, and is currently a Distinguished Research Fellow at University College London (UCL). He actively engages in public debates on economics, contributing to media outlets, blogs, and social media, gaining a significant following for his critiques of economic policies and clear explanations of complex concepts. He has received awards such as the Revere Award from the Real-World Economics Review for his contributions to economic education. Despite his influence, Keen has expressed skepticism about Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies, highlighting what he perceives as fundamental flaws in their design and economic viability.
