The Bitcoin Standard Podcast Dr. Saifedean Ammous

Can a libertarian or anarchist support the state of Israel? In this debate, Austrian economist Walter Block argues the affirmative and makes the case for why Israel is a force for liberty, while Saifedean argues political Zionism is the socialist central planning of land ownership, and is not possible without the violation of the property of Palestinians.

Can law, order, and defense be provided on the market? Why can't they be normal goods? We are joined by economist Edward Stringham to discuss his fascinating work on free market anarchism and private governance. Stringham examines the economic of government from an Austrian perspective, and clearly shows how the world is increasingly relying on private voluntary legal and defense services rather than inefficient monopolies. We also apply these ideas to examine the concept of public health, and Stringham's work at the American Institute for Economic Research on the Great Barrington Declaration.

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.
