The More Freedom Foundation is trying to save the world every week. We’re at an odd point in history. We could be on the cusp of a new Golden Age, or we could be marching down the path to World War III. Despite the picture presented by most of our media, the world really is in great shape. The world is governed by US power and a set of institutions that have largely succeeded in bringing about unparalleled peace and prosperity. The only country strong enough to tear down this Pax Americana is the US itself.
In this episode, Robert Morris traces the deep historical roots of the India-Pakistan conflict—going all the way back to the Mughal Empire. We explore how centuries of empire, colonization, and partition laid the groundwork for one of the world's most volatile rivalries. From the fall of the Mughals to British rule, from independence to the nuclear age, we unpack how history still shapes the geopolitics of South Asia today. As tensions flare once again, we confront the sobering reality of what's at stake—and why avoiding nuclear war must remain a global priority.PatreonWebsiteBooksTwitterTikTok
Yes, it may come with a few jets, a couple of shiny golf courses, and the occasional whispered deal in Oman — but the results are real. We look at how Trump, despite his bombast and love for the military, called off a brutal U.S. bombing campaign in Yemen that was burning through money and munitions with no end in sight.And there's more. In Syria, reports suggest that under-the-table Gulf money might be flowing into reconstruction efforts — possibly encouraged by a quiet green light from the former president. A post-Assad Syria may be emerging, not through regime change wars, but through realpolitik and backdoor diplomacy.In short, while Trump's motives might not be noble — and the methods may be murky — we argue that his instinct to end conflicts, rather than escalate them, deserves serious attention. Could it be that the man most feared for his impulsiveness is also the one who's done the most to walk the U.S. away from endless wars?Tune in for a provocative discussion on power, peace, and the surprising limits of empire.PatreonWebsiteBooksTwitterTikTok

The Thucydides Trap is often presented as an iron law of history—an inevitable march toward war between a rising power (China) and an established hegemon (the U.S.). But what if this narrative is more of a self-fulfilling prophecy than a historical certainty? In this episode of The More Freedom Foundation Podcast, Rob and Ruairi take a critical look at the misuse of Thucydides' work, arguing that America resembles imperial Athens far more than it does Sparta.

In this episode of the More Freedom Foundation Podcast, hosts Rob and Ruairi delve into the transformative first year of Argentine President Javier Milei's administration. Milei, a far-right economist and libertarian, assumed office amid economic turmoil and has since implemented radical reforms to stabilize the nation's economy. His policies have included significant austerity measures, such as reducing public spending, cutting subsidies, and laying off government workers, leading to Argentina's first fiscal surplus in 14 years. These measures have resulted in a notable decrease in inflation, dropping from 211% in December 2023 to 193% in October 2024, with monthly inflation hitting a three-year low of 2.7% in October. However, these reforms have also led to increased unemployment and poverty, raising questions about the social impact of such economic strategies. Join Rob and Ruairi as they analyze the successes and challenges of Milei's presidency, exploring whether his 'shock therapy' approach is truly benefiting Argentina or exacerbating existing issues.
