Western politics appears chaotic - broken states, endless debt and permanent crisis. Simon Dixon argues it isn't chaos at all, it's structure.
In this conversation, Simon lays out how money creation, debt, asset management, and access to capital now matter more than elections, ideology, or national borders. Governments, he argues, have become balance sheets and citizens have become collateral.
We talk about how the debt-based syste...
Venezuela didn't fall apart by accident. It's the result of years of socialism, corruption and a regime that couldn't be removed by elections or international pressure.
In this PMQs episode, Peter and Conor talk through what happened with Maduro, why Venezuelans themselves welcomed his removal, and why the usual arguments about regime change and international law don't hold up in the real world.
They also look at the role of oil, U...
Steve Baker is a former Conservative MP who spent years inside the machinery of British politics.
In this interview, he explains why Britain feels broken. We talk about falling living standards, a political system that keeps failing without consequence and why so many voters feel completely powerless to change anything. We also explore how a system can continue to function while delivering worse outcomes year after year.
We also di...
Inflation is the thing breaking everything.
Not just prices - but trust, politics, institutions and people's belief that the system even works for them anymore.
There's no sudden collapse coming and no dramatic moment where it all falls apart. It is slower than that and we're living through it right now.
In this episode of PMQs, I talk through how inflation hollowed out living standards, why people are withdrawing from politics alt...
In this conversation, Larry Sanger explains how Wikipedia's governance structure allowed anonymous editors, activist groups, PR firms, and institutional power to capture what became the world's default source of truth.
This isn't a culture-war rant.
It's a structural explanation of how neutrality failed and why reform may no longer be possible.
We discuss:
– How Wikipedia was originally designed
– Why expert review was rejected
– A...
This country doesn't work anymore.
In this episode, I explain why I no longer believe voting can fix what's broken and why the real problem isn't left vs right, race vs race, or party vs party but unconstrained government power.
This is a continuation of ideas sparked by recent debates around Nick Fuentes, Carl Benjamin, iden...
Carl Benjamin is a political commentator and cultural critic. This discussion focuses on diagnosis — not slogans — and on understanding consequences before they arrive.
Young men aren't radicalising because of ideology, they're reacting to a world that no longer works for them. In this conversation with Carl Benjamin, we break down why the post-war consensus has collapsed, why politics feels illegitimate and why a generation feels ...
I've reached an inflection point.
I no longer believe Britain's political system can fix itself. This isn't about left vs right, Labour vs Conservative, or the next election. It's about unconstrained power, broken incentives and a system that rewards failure while hollowing out the next generation.
In this PMQs episode, I explain why I'm withdrawing my consent from the British state and why so many young people have already done th...
Mike Green is a macro strategist known for his work on market structure, benchmark distortions, passive flows and systemic fragility.
A single benchmark shaped American markets and policy for decades and economist Mike Green believes it distorted risk, inflated asset prices, weakened the middle class and misled policymakers about the true state of the economy. In this conversation, he breaks down how a flawed model became accepted ...
Modern economics is built on competing theories that often describe the world in very different ways. In this conversation, economist Steve Keen sets out his explanation for how money works, why he believes mainstream economic models fail, and why debt, banking and housing play a far greater role in economic crises than most policymakers acknowledge.
Keen's perspective challenges the assumptions of neoclassical, Keynesian and Austr...
Inflation isn't an economic metric — it's a political tactic. When governments lie about inflation, they're not miscalculating; they're stealing from you. Economist Karl-Friedrich Israel explains how inflation quietly enriches asset holders, punishes workers and pushes Europe into a slow, silent decline.
If your living standards are falling while politicians insist everything is fine, this conversation will make sense of it. If you...

Labour's second budget is here and it's another full-blown tax raid. They've hit workers again, squeezed savers again, blown up the welfare bill again and still delivered nothing for business, growth or the people who actually drive the economy.
If you earn, save, build or invest, Labour just came back for round two: punishing work, killing incentives and pushing the UK deeper into decline.

In this solo episode, Peter breaks from the usual interview format to deliver an honest take on the state-of-the-nation.
From the collapse of political discourse to the rise of Reform and the Greens, from inflation's hidden wealth transfer to why young people are turning to socialism, Peter lays out the British Doom Loop - how taxes, stagnation and inflation keep feeding each other while the political class pretends everything's f...
