    I'm a huge fan, appreciate all of your insights, love the anti globalist tilt. Just one thing with Trump: focus on results and not process. He's not a diplomat. He's a NY real estate negotiator. He cares about results not anyone's feelings or political protocol. They're all corrupt globalists who cares. Importing refugees to create instability. Ignore them

    Thanks both of you for a very good and informative podcast. I’m a regular listener. Just a reference to the recent talk with Jeffrey Sachs and you mentioned two articles related to Joan Robinson and Jeffrey Robbins. I’ll be very grateful if you can provide me with the links to those articles, thank you.!
