| Happy Saturday, Friend!
This week, we launched the first of nine videos in a new US Economic History Series, produced in partnership with the Bill of Rights Institute. They aim to be a resource for students studying for US History exams and to provide a survey of different (and sometimes opposing) viewpoints on key episodes in U.S. economic history.
US Economic History 1 — How Mercantilism Started the American Revolution
The British Empire’s mercantilist plan to tax and control colonial trade backfired — and led to the American Revolution. Professor Brian Domitrovic explains. We also have two new interview clips for you to enjoy:
Dan Carlin — What Is Military Keynesianism?
Dan Carlin, the self-described “political martian,” and the host of the Hardcore History podcast, talks to Dave Rubin about one of the big ideas behind America’s gigantic military budgets.
In the Trump Era, Remember Institutions
Prof. Brandon Turner says that in the Trump era, the intellectual advantages of the libertarian tradition are becoming especially clear.
Next week, we’ll have more from Domitrovic, Carlin, and Turner — and we’ll also have a little fireside chat to get ready for tax day.
Thanks for watching,
