Peter Boettke sits down with Bryan Cheang, discussing unveiling liberalism in Southeast Asia. In this conversation, Bryan begins with discourse on the synthesis of different schools of thought in economic growth and development, stressing the importance of considering the relationship between cultural differences, classical liberalism, and economic development. He points out that in Asia, many countries adopted capitalist practices but remained authoritarian, challenging the notion that capitalism and freedom always go hand in hand. Bryan also argues for a broadening of methodological approaches in economics to include cultural and historical contexts of individuals.

Should Trump be allowed to stay on the ballot? As the Supreme Court prepares to hear arguments on the former president’s eligibility due to his role in the January 6 insurrection, Ravi and guest co-host Isaac Saul discuss the legal and constitutional merits of the pending decision.
The American public also has January 6 on its mind, with a new poll showing that a quarter of Americans believe the FBI instigated the attacks on the capitol. Ravi and Isaac discuss how public perception has changed over the past three years and how the politics of it all could shape the 2024 election.
Finally, the Israeli government has signaled that it will shift to a new phase in its war against Hamas, but they can’t agree about what a post-war Gaza could look like. The hosts break down the competing visions and ask whether anyone really has any plans for what many have come to call plans "the day after."
