Audio Mises Wire - Why Racism Can’t Explain Europe’s Drive for Conquest and Colonial Power
Historically, Europeans had few qualms about conquering and enslaving other Europeans. This presents some problems for the narrative claiming that injustices committed by Europeans are motivated primarily by racism.

Audio Mises Wire - Tariffs Mean Lost Jobs

Everything Everywhere Daily - Captain Cook
Captain James Cook was a British explorer, navigator, cartographer, and captain in the Royal Navy whose three major voyages of exploration between 1768 and 1779 greatly expanded European knowledge of the Pacific region.
His detailed maps, scientific observations, and interactions with indigenous peoples left a profound impact on geography, ethnography, and natural history.
He left an indelible mark on the region, and in the end, it also killed him.
Learn more about Captain Cook, his voyages, and how his impact can still be felt today on this episode of Everything Everywhere Daily.

The Ezra Klein Show - Best Of: Barbara Kingsolver on ‘Urban-Rural Antipathy’
“It’s so insidious, people don’t realize it,” Barbara Kingsolver told me, describing the prejudice against “country people.” Kingsolver is one of those “country people,” as well as a literary legend in her own time, who set out to write the “great Appalachian novel.” And I think she did.
“Demon Copperhead” won the Pulitzer Prize in 2023, and we taped this conversation later that year. And I wanted to re-air it because the divide between rural and urban America remains just as strong today, and as relevant to our politics. And Kingsolver might be the country’s sharpest and most poignant observer of it.
