Reversed Stomach Syndrome ft. Nina Eichacker
Added 2025-02-21 10:26:59 +0000 UTCIt’s a goons rights bonanza, with Devon subbing in for November to talk about the ongoing wave of gig economy apps for ex-Navy SEALs to turn random people into clouds of pink mist on behalf of crypto influencers who want to look richer than they are… also we check in on Humane, and read a column by Rafael Behr. In the second half, Economist Nina Eichacker joins Riley half to talk tariffs (specifically) and how Wall Street’s “Masters of the Universe” traded their pre-eminent positions in capital markets for revenge on their woke, home-working employees (generally).

Australian Keir Starmer is just Anthony Albanese (pretty spot on impression tbh)

2025-02-23 20:50:40 +0000 UTCWall street guys blowing up their own hegemony feels of a piece with Trumpworld foreign policy, or Elon blowing up the state, or say, the death of brand loyalty. The people on top are so used to being there that they imagine it as a natural occurrence, rather than something supported by all the infrastructure around them that they've decided is woke and gay

2025-02-22 14:57:51 +0000 UTCHa Joon Chang has written a lot about the history of economic development in the first vs the third world, where first world countries typically had lots of liberty to protect infant industries, and third world countries were blocked from doing so. Some great books of his include Kicking Away the Ladder, Bad Samaritans, and Reclaiming Development.

2025-02-21 19:05:51 +0000 UTCI wonder if the root issue for the short sightedness of Wall Street has to do with Wall Street itself becoming increasingly "blue blooded" in the sense that money managers are nepotistic hires. You lost the truly knowledgeable people in charge of these firms that established these Goliaths like Goldman Sachs and the hegemony of the dollar and now the fail sons are squandering away their power and capital to say slurs again like they did in beta delta gamma with the Boyz. This is of course an unsubstantiated knee jerk theory but I think it hold water as to why there just is not someone sensible in the room
