Trade has come up in all of the episodes of Summer School so far. An early use of money was to make trade easier. Trade was responsible for the birth of companies and the stock market. And trade was the lifeblood of the early United States.
Today's episode covers 250 years of trade history in three chapters. We start with one of the founding texts of economics, Wealth of Nations, in which Adam Smith argues a country's true value is not measured in gold and silver, but by its people's ability to buy things that enhance their standard of living. Then we'll watch American politicians completely ignore that argument in favor of protecting domestic industries – until one congressman makes a passionate case for free trade as the means to world peace. And finally we'll follow the trade debate up to the modern day, where the tides of American politics have turned toward regulation.
This series is hosted by Robert Smith and produced by Audrey Dilling. Our project manager is Devin Mellor. This episode was edited by Planet Money Executive Producer Alex Goldmark and fact-checked by Sofia Shchukina.

Amarica's Constitution - How To Get To 18 Years
The 2021 Biden Commission on the Court has now led - with a big “assistance” from the Court itself - to President Biden’s own plan for Court reform. It is sketchy in many ways, but is entirely consistent with Professor Amar’s long-held views on 18 year active terms for Supreme Court justices, though the President’s proposal lacks the detail of that plan. This is unsurprising in a way since Prof. Amar testified before that Commission. There are other related plans in proposed statutes that lie in committees of the House and Senate. We consider the features of all, the flaws we have diagnosed, and we also have some commentary on some other aspects of the President’s proposals, including a possible constitutional amendment. Lots to consider this week! CLE credit is available for judges and lawyers from podcast.njsba.com.
Time To Say Goodbye - Walz Time, RFK’s Bear Episode, and what Solidarity Means with Astra Taylor
Hello!
This week we’re extremely excited to have on Astra Taylor, a filmmaker, author, and organizer with the Debt Collective. We talk about Walz, whether VP picks matter, good vibes and joy for once, and also what the hell was RFK Jr. thinking when he dumped that dead bear cub in Central Park. Astra also talks to us about the book she co-authored with Leah Hunt-Hendrix titled “SOLIDARITY: THE PAST, PRESENT, AND FUTURE OF A WORLD CHANGING IDEA,” which all of you should pick up and read as it’s extremely relevant to everything we discuss on the show.
Enjoy!
Jay and Tyler

Jeff Dorman from Arca breaks down the recent crypto crash, its causes, and whether buying the dip is a smart move.
The recent crypto crash has left many investors questioning the way the market is going. In this episode, Jeff Dorman, chief investment officer at Arca, provides a deep dive into the factors behind the crash, the macroeconomic influences at play, and why he remains optimistic despite the downturn. Expressing surprise at Ethereum's underperformance this year, he describes how the Democrats’ handling of crypto is an own goal, and how TradFi and DeFi differ from each other during market upheavals.
Show highlights:
- The two main reasons the markets crashed this past weekend
- How the macro environment has affected crypto lately and why the market has gotten “way ahead of itself”
- Why ETH was down so much, more than other cryptocurrencies
- The “most important” shift in crypto policy that has occurred this year
- The Japanese yen carry trade that was one of the key factors in the market meltdown
- Whether Genesis distributing $4 billion in assets had an impact on the market
- Why Jeff believes that the data we have today does not point to a recession in the U.S.
- Why Jeff says he’s “buying the dip”
- Crypto as a political issue and why he thinks Harris winning would not be as bad for crypto as many believe
- Why bitcoin doesn’t always act as a hedge against equity-related or geopolitical risk, in Jeff’s opinion
- What Jeff thinks about the proposals for the U.S. government to buy bitcoin for a strategic reserve
- The stark contrast between TradFi giants halting trading and the permissionless nature of DeFi

The Intelligence from The Economist - Walz onto the stage: Kamala Harris’s VP pick
Tim Walz, a folksy Midwesterner who came late to politics, is on the Democratic ticket. We ask how he got there and whether he was the best tactical pick. A visit to Lebanon reveals a sense of foreboding, as a sharper war between Israel and Hizbullah seems inevitable (11:04). And the executives who just don’t know when to quit (19:53).
