Chris and Charley conclude Issue 1 by discussing how mainstream economists and climate scientists can look at the same data and reach wildly different conclusions. How can mainstream economists predict small dents to the economy when climate scientists see existential threats to civilization itself? Perhaps Sahelian desertification and climate change can only be solved if we stop listening to mainstream economists.
Why did Ahidjo suddenly resign in 1982 at the height of his power? How did Paul Biya wrest power from a seemingly all-powerful Ahidjo? Chris and Charley explore the mystery of Cameroon’s 1983 succession.

Chris and Charley discuss the incredible story of how Cameroon’s independence movement took on the French Empire and almost won. Then, they trace the sad story of how the French fought back, installed a dictator, and continue to exploit an “independent” Cameroon. Both agree that with France’s dark influence from independence to today, it is no surprise that Cameroon is one of the poorest countries on earth. Poverty is no acc...
