Episode notes

"In my time as a libertarian, I started to believe that the market comes before politics, like economics is upstream of politics. But, you know, I’ve come to believe it’s the other way around actually, because the political framework defines the framework in which the market can operate.

The nation is a concept that, you know, reinvigorated itself in my mind, especially after writing Bushido. Is that okay: the nation’s job, its existence, is to put not the market first, but its people first, and then the market second. And if you have to sacrifice one, you sacrifice the economic reality. Because, in the short term it might hurt the economics, but in the long term it maintains the civility or the cohesion of the polity of the people whom the market is serving."
