Egal, wie viele Lügen sie mir erzählen, egal, wie viele Löcher sie in meinen Geist schlagen, eines werde ich nie vergessen. Ich bin Auren Turley. Und ich werde kämpfen. Für meine Freiheit. Für meine Freunde.

The government is a vast, complex system that Americans pay for, rebel against, rely upon, dismiss, and celebrate. It’s also our shared resource for addressing the biggest problems of society.

Kamau Bell, to join him in finding someone doing an interesting job for the government and writing about them.

The eminent economic historian Harold James presents a new perspective on financial crises, dividing them into "good" crises, which ultimately expand markets and globalization, and "bad" crises, which result in a smaller, less prosperous world. Examining seven turning points in financial history—from the depression of the 1840s through the Great Depression of the 1930s to the COVID-19 crisis—James shows how crashes prompted by a lack of supply, like the oil shortages of the 1970s, lead to greater globalization as markets expand and producers innovate to increase supply.
