Everything Everywhere Daily - Dubai

Just 60 years ago, Dubai was a sandy, underpopulated port on a minor creek emptying into the Persian Gulf. 

Today, it is one of the most important cities in the world. It is a global center for trade, finance, and transportation. 

How did a random sandy outpost location in the Middle East end up becoming such an important global city in such a short period of time? 

It didn’t happen by accident.

Learn more about Dubi and how it went from nothing to becoming one of the most important cities in the world on this episode of Everything Everywhere Daily.

Cato Podcast - The Supreme Court’s $300 Billion Tariff Showdown

Can a president tax Americans at will under the guise of a national emergency? The Cato Institute's Scott Lincicome and Brent Skorup dissect the high-stakes Supreme Court battle over Trump’s “fentanyl tariffs,” the broadest assertion of trade power in modern U.S. history. They explore how the case could reshape executive authority, revive dormant constitutional doctrines, and determine whether Congress or the White House truly controls U.S. trade policy.
