As LIV prepares for a potential bankruptcy filing, reports are flying that Jon Rahm will be one of the biggest creditors in such a move with a hefty portion of his contract still outstanding. Andy and Brendan bat around the latest round of ominous LIV unwinding news and debate the three-year folly that has been Rahm’s stay on LIV: what it’s meant for his golf career, his image, and his bank account, even if he doesn’t get the full amount. Then they move to the Wyndham Championship, the last regular season event on the PGA Tour and how the playoffs have “ruined” August for the rest of golf. They spotlight some bubble boys in a generally weak field with many top players already locking up playoffs status. Can Jackson Koivun get across the line and into the postseason? News hits on the daily drip of “Championship Series” events announcements by the PGA Tour, with Doral joining the party as the fifth confirmed event. They revisit the potential massive news that Riviera may no longer be an annual PGA Tour stop and what it means for pro golf in LA. They also discuss some reporting on the Challengers Series and the potential price tag for those events, in addition to news that there may be an overall umbrella sponsor for the tour, or series, itself.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Mayssa Chehata is the founder of BEHAVE Candy, a low-sugar, clean-label candy brand that just landed in nearly 2,000 Target stores nationwide and sold out within the first week.But here's what you might not know. Two years ago, Mayssa was calling her lawyer to ask what bankruptcy would look like. She had left a dream career at the NFL, Uber, Daily Harvest, and SoulCycle to build a candy her diabetic father could finally eat. But after manufacturing failures, two reformulations, and a product she privately didn't believe in, she made the hardest call of her life: she paused the entire company for over a year. She moved to Mexico City because she couldn't afford her apartment in New York, personally guaranteed a bank loan, and hit what she calls her rock bottom. Then, with sixty days of cash left, she and her co-founder made one final plan. They called it burn the ships. Mayssa handed off everything and made TikTok videos all day, every day. Two weeks in, one video went viral and doubled the business overnight.In this week's episode, Mayssa shares why Uber was her real business school, the gut feeling she ignored for two years about her own product, and what it takes to shut down and rebuild a company from scratch. She opens up about how a manifestation book gave her the courage to leave corporate and the inner child work that finally unblocked her. She shares the daily practices that pulled her out of burnout, from meditation and journaling to nervous system regulation, why her coach told her the business wouldn't work until she fixed everything underneath it, and how she went from brute-forcing twelve-hour days to learning that a regulated, healthy founder builds a better business. Whether your business is thriving or barely surviving, this episode will change how you think about success, failure, and everything in between.In this episode, we'll talk to Mayssa about:* Why working at Uber felt like an entrepreneurial crash course. [02:49]* Building an ownership mindset by creating opportunities from scratch. [06:59]* The first signs she was meant to become an entrepreneur. [10:41]* Chasing wealth vs. discovering a mission worth building. [14:29]* Why she waited two years before launching the company. [20:16]* Navigating manufacturing challenges and finding the right production partner. [23:17]* How her father's diabetes inspired the idea for Behave. [25:23]* How manifestation gave her the confidence to leave corporate. [27:32]* Raising her first funding round and taking the leap into entrepreneurship. [33:11]* Launching Behave during the uncertainty of the pandemic. [37:21]* The product mistakes that nearly destroyed the business. [40:09]* Why she decided to pause production and completely reformulate. [46:41]* Surviving financial uncertainty, debt, and the threat of bankruptcy. [48:38]* Why getting funding still wasn't enough to save the business. [55:36]* Why a celebrity partnership wasn't the breakthrough they expected. [56:57]* Rebuilding herself through inner child work, spirituality, and manifestation. [58:11]* Betting everything on TikTok and finding a viral growth strategy. [01:01:40]* How one viral video transformed the business and led to Target. [01:05:08]* Growing beyond DTC by building a retail-first business. [01:06:40]* Redefining productivity, healing burnout, and leading from a healthier place.

Back in episode 154/155, JP told us about her marriage to a man she now simply calls "exhole." We left that story mid-sentence — she was still deep in the trenches of her divorce, and we promised to bring her back once it was over.It's over now.But "over" doesn't mean what you'd think.What follows is a year-long descent into a family court system that JP says is built to protect abusers, not survivors — and a masterclass in exactly how far a narcissist will go to win.⚖️ A biased judge who tells the victim to pay HER abuser

Philosopher Stefan Molyneux shows how philosophy helps you by tying fear straight to unexpressed anger from bad parents and pushing confrontation so you finally grow into an adult with real agency. He adds that universally preferable behavior gives a clear standard for ethics and politics instead of excuses or coercion.Questions:If one would start their own company and fail, what is the worst possible financial demise one would face? Bankruptcy? What does that really look like as far as putting the pieces back together and starting all over? How does one calculate their risk? Example: Automotive Detailing Business. ✌

LIV Golf may be filing for bankruptcy—but could a $250 million investment save the league before it's too late? In this episode of The Golf Podcast we break down the biggest and most confusing LIV Golf story yet as reports emerge that the league is preparing for a potential bankruptcy filing while, at the very same time, other reports claim LIV has secured up to $250 million in new investment to keep the league alive. We unpack what these seemingly contradictory headlines really mean, why bankruptcy doesn't necessarily signal the end of LIV Golf, and how a restructuring could pave the way for a dramatically different LIV Golf 2.0 built around player equity and outside investors. We also discuss what this could mean for stars like Jon Rahm and Bryson DeChambeau, whether players would choose ownership over guaranteed contracts, and if the league can realistically survive with a leaner schedule and reduced purses. Plus, we revisit the mystery surrounding LIV's Michigan Team Championship after reports of its cancellation stalled without an official announcement, and debate whether a last-minute funding deal could change everything. Is LIV Golf truly on the verge of collapse, or is this simply the next chapter in its evolution? Join us as we separate fact from speculation and examine what could be the most pivotal moment in LIV Golf's short but turbulent history.   Listen to This Week’s Show Download on iTunes here Listen on Spotify here Thanks to this Week’s Sponsors Titleist is committed to ensuring that every golf ball delivers superior quality and consistency.  From ball to ball, dozen to dozen we should expect our golf ball to perform exactly the same way, shot after shot.

John is joined by Susheel Kirpalani, partner in Quinn Emanuel's New York office, Head of Special Situations, and founder of the firm's Bankruptcy and Restructuring Group.  They discuss the increasingly important role of liability management exercises, or LMEs, as tools that financially distressed companies use to raise capital and avoid bankruptcy.  These transactions frequently involve granting favorable treatment to certain creditors in connection with new financing, often at the expense of other creditors.  Although such arrangements may preserve companies through periods of severe distress, they also generate disputes over whether the underlying loan agreements permit unequal treatment. Susheel explains the landmark Serta Simmons Bedding litigation, which arose after the company undertook an LME during the COVID-19 pandemic.  Serta wanted to raise additional capital and capture discount from its lenders.  A majority of lenders participated in the transaction and received new, higher-priority debt, while a minority of lenders received nothing. The excluded lenders, represented by a QE team headed by Susheel, argued that the transaction violated the longstanding principle that the same class of lenders must be treated the same, or “ratably.”The case proceeded through years of state and federal litigation, bankruptcy proceedings, an appeal to the Fifth Circuit, and a remand to the Southern District of Texas.  After the Fifth Circuit held Serta's purchase of the majority group's loans was not a permissible open-market purchase, the bankruptcy court held a five-day trial to decide whether the transaction breached the credit agreement and, if so, what damages flowed from that breach.  The court ultimately concluded that the disproportionate payoff breached the governing credit agreement and exposed the majority to $400M in damages.  After accounting for recent settlements and other adjustments, the court then awarded $160M+ to QE's clients based upon the requirement of equal treatment among lenders. The decision has broad implications.  The ruling highlights the growing importance of litigation risk in restructuring transactions, encourages parties to scrutinize contractual language more carefully, and will likely influence the drafting of future credit agreements.  It also demonstrates how traditional principles of contract law continue to govern even highly sophisticated financial transactions and underscores the increasingly central role of litigation in modern restructuring practice.Podcast Link: Law-disrupted.fmHost: John B.

An affiliate of a Canadian aerospace manufacturer has filed for bankruptcy protection for its longtime factory in Southwest Ohio, according to a local report.Magellan Aerospace USA Inc. is seeking Chapter 11 protection for the Magellan plant in Middletown, the Journal-News reports. Documents filed with the court reportedly listed assets of $10 million to $50 million and liabilities of $50 million to $100 million.The Chapter 11 process typically allows companies to continue operating their assets; the filing would reportedly authorize company officials to pursue a restructuring or reorganization, as well as a sale of the facility or liquidation, if necessary.Magellan, based in suburban Toronto, makes complex assemblies and systems for aircraft manufacturers, engine makers and space agencies across the globe from production facilities in North America, Europe and India. The company says the Middletown plant manufactures high-temperature, vacuum-brazed honeycomb structures for exhaust systems and control surfaces and offers assembly of titanium- and nickel-based alloy components and aluminum structures.The facility traces its roots to 1928, when a company eventually known as Aeronca was founded in Cincinnati; it moved to suburban Middletown following a 1937 flood, and was acquired by Magellan predecessor Fleet Aerospace 40 years ago.Magellan officials indicated in a corporate resolution this month that bankruptcy would be in the best interests of the company along with those of its creditors, employees and other stakeholders. The Journal-News said that the company did not respond to multiple requests for comment.#Manufacturing, #Aerospace, #AerospaceManufacturing, #Bankruptcy, #Chapter11, #Ohio, #MagellanAerospace, #Aviation, #SupplyChain, #IndustrialNews, #ManufacturingNews, #Aircraft, #Factory, #BusinessNews, #Industry

Everyone says they're comfortable with investment risk—until markets actually decline. Lance Roberts & Jon Penn discuss why true risk tolerance isn't measured during bull markets but during periods of fear and uncertainty. We explain the difference between financial capacity and emotional tolerance, why investors often overestimate the amount of volatility they can handle, and how emotional decisions can permanently damage long-term returns. 0:00 INTRO 0:53 - Markets Building Downward Pressure 4:00 - Semi's in Momentum Trade 8:39 - Investor, Know Thyself 11:00 - Investing is Supposed to be Boring 14:02 - Waiting Until the Market is "Safe" 15:47 - Risk Knows No Age 21:06 - TOD vs POD - What's the Difference? 23:55 - What is Per Stirpes? 27:34 - Lance's Treasure Hunt 28:03 - Diversity of Accounts Is Not a Good Thing 28:03 - Diversity of Accounts Is Not a Good Thing 34:58 - The Value in Consolidation of Accounts 36:42 - SIPC Insurance and Bankruptcy 45:04 - At What Age...?

James Wilson was a brilliant Philadelphia lawyer, signer of the Declaration of Independence, and a driving force behind the Constitution.  And yet in 1779 a Philadelphia mob attacked his home, and his forceful defense of ratifying the Constitution led to him being burned in effigy.  An Associate Justice of the Supreme Court, Wilson died in a North Carolina boarding house on the run from his many creditors.  Jesse Wegman recounts Wilson's fascinating and complicated life in his new book, The Lost Founder:  James Wilson and the Forgotten Fight for a People's Constitution. Order the Book!Tell us what you think!

The famous residents of an exclusive suburb just outside Barcelona have included footballers like Gerard Pique and Andres Iniesta, and international pop stars like Shakira. Recent World Cup winner Lamine Yamal is currently enjoying the spoils of a multi-million euro purchase there. But a German businessman's address in the neighbourhood has now scuppered his chance of application to be declared bankrupt in Ireland. Last year, 44-year-old former convict Denis Melcher, who had amassed debts of close to €8m, convinced Ireland's High Court to adjudicate him bankrupt. As part of this process, Melcher submitted a sworn statement in which he declared that he was living in a modest rental home in Carlow. However, at the time, Melcher was secretly spending €8,500 per month to lease a four-storey mansion overlooking Barcelona, with an option to purchase the property for €2.6m. The revelation has raised fears that the Irish bankruptcy regime is now seen as an easy target for foreign nationals looking to shed colossal debts. On this episode of The Indo Daily, host Fionnán Sheahan is joined by Irish Independent Legal Affairs Editor Shane Phelan to examine the implications of this curious case.

Bob Zimmerman highlights the "bankruptcy" of modern academia, citing a study where half of social science papers failed replication tests. He discusses an upcoming Falcon 9 rocket impact on the moon scheduled for August 5th and new data from the Juno mission revealing Io's subsurface temperatures.

Send us Fan MailBusiness bankruptcies are rising, and it's not just the big names making headlines. We're seeing small businesses get squeezed by higher borrowing costs, inflation-driven expenses, and customers who simply aren't spending the way they used to. When cash gets tight, owners often feel forced into quick-fix financing like merchant cash advances, and that can turn a temporary slowdown into crushing monthly debt service.We sit down with JoAnn Falgout, an experienced bankruptcy attorney, to walk through what actually happens when a business considers bankruptcy and why the answer is often more nuanced than “close the doors.” We talk about personal guarantees and the hard truth that many owners have signed onto business debt with their own credit, their home equity, and their future on the line. JoAnn explains why draining a 401k or IRA to save the company can be a tragic mistake, since retirement accounts are often exempt in bankruptcy, and why early pre-bankruptcy planning can prevent avoidable problems like preferential transfers.We also dig into Subchapter V Chapter 11, a streamlined reorganization option built for small businesses, including what makes it cheaper, faster, and more realistic than a traditional Chapter 11 for many mom-and-pop operations. Along the way, we compare Chapter 7 liquidation, Chapter 13 repayment plans, and Chapter 11 reorganization, plus what “exemptions” mean in real life for everyday assets.If you're a business owner, creditor, or just trying to understand small business bankruptcy and debt restructuring, this conversation gives you a clear framework for choosing next steps.

"I hope you enjoy this Season encore series. Have a great summer!" Episode 5.7 | Originally Released: December 11, 2026 Listen in or watch as host David Mandell interviews dentist and coach Dr. Sue Keller. David begins with questions he asks all doctor guests to the program—about their initial interest in becoming a doctor, early career journey and more. Sue relates her personal experiences that lead her to dentistry and a shift from an interest in orthodontics to general dentistry. Sue explains her initial venture into private practice, purchasing an existing practice from a burned-out dentist, and her initial attempts to grow the practice. She and David discuss her challenges in growing the practice, the positives and negatives to developing a niche practice, to moving the physical location and the difficulties of keeping good staff. For the remainder of this first part of a two-part episode, Sue tells David about the challenges of keeping the practice afloat financially. In part two, they discuss Sue's decision to file bankruptcy for the practice after more than 20 years and her career transition thereafter. Key Insights: Sue shares her personal journey, mentioning her early interest in dentistry after having her first loose tooth at six years old. Sue had a positive childhood experience with her dentist, which fueled her desire to make dentistry comfortable for others. She discusses the transition in her career, starting her practice after a residency and eventually purchasing an existing practice from a burned-out dentist. In 1995, Sue took over a family practice and started building it up, noting challenges with old technology and financial constraints. She explains that her practice focused on treating anxious adult patients with oral sedation, creating a niche in an underserved area. She moved her practice in 2007, creating a comfortable environment in Northampton but encountered financial challenges in 2008 due to the financial crisis, including losing two-thirds of her patients after the move and facing difficulties hiring motivated staff, leading to constant turnover. Sue reflects on the decision to go fee-for-service and the financial pressures of taking insurance while striving to maintain high-quality care. Despite her advanced education, she struggled to implement complex treatments due to a lack of patients who could afford the care. Sue emphasizes the importance of utilizing specialists, even for bread-and-butter dentistry, to maintain quality and avoid complications. She outlines the ongoing financial struggles from 2008 to 2017, refinancing multiple times to stay afloat amid a tough market.   Learn more, including additional show notes, links, and detailed key takeaways, by visiting visiting the original episode page.

In this live-recorded episode of Bad Boys of Bankruptcy, Judge Elizabeth Gunn sits down in Boise, Idaho with longtime Chapter 7 trustee Ford Elsaesser to unpack one of the most unusual and high-profile cases of his career. The debtor, Richard Butler, was not just any Chapter 7 filer, he was the leader of the Aryan Nations, a white supremacist organization operating under the guise of a church. After a $2 million civil judgment stemming from violent acts by his followers, Butler turned to bankruptcy in a last-ditch effort to protect his 20-acre compound in northern Idaho. What followed was anything but routine. From coordinating discreet courthouse security amid concerns of extremist retaliation, to intercepting prison-sent donations and handling threatening hate mail, the case quickly became a test of both legal creativity and personal resolve. At the center of it all was the estate itself: a compound filled with Nazi regalia, propaganda, and intellectual property tied to the organization. Rather than allow these materials to reenter circulation, the trustee worked with creditors and third parties to structure a groundbreaking sale, one that not only satisfied administrative expenses and delivered recovery to victims, but ensured that the symbols of hate were permanently destroyed. This episode is a powerful example of how the Bankruptcy Code can be used not just to resolve debts, but to dismantle harmful enterprises and create a lasting positive impact.

Edmund Fitton-Brown. The U.S. continues a naval blockade intended to reduce Iran to bankruptcy, as Tehranmaintains "impossible demands" regarding the Strait of Hormuz. Edmund Fitton-Brown suggests while Russia and China provide intelligence and resupply, they are unlikely to take serious risks to save the regime. Ultimately, the conflict may depend on national patience, with the U.S. capable of sustaining pressure until the Iranian leadership is forced to compromise. (12)1990 YEMEN

On this week's Extra Serving, NRN editor in chief Sam Oches and executive editor Alicia Kelso discuss the latest restaurant industry news, including the origin of the cyclosporiasis outbreak, the troubling rise in bankruptcies and closures, and a wave of new marketing campaigns aimed at winning back customers. They start with some explosive news related to the recent outbreak of cyclosporiasis: Investigators believe the origin of the outbreak was Taylor Farms in Michigan, and specifically iceberg lettuce provided to Taco Bell and potentially other restaurants. The news led to Taco Bell removing lettuce from the menu in select states. The duo breaks down what cyclospora is, how these outbreaks happen in the supply chain, and what this means for both Taylor Farms and Taco Bell as they work to contain the situation and restore consumer confidence. They discuss the broader implications for restaurant food safety protocols and how quickly brands need to respond when these incidents occur.Next, they tackle a sobering trend that's been accelerating in recent months: the increasing number of restaurant bankruptcies and store closures across the industry. From legacy chains to newer concepts, more brands are filing for bankruptcy protection or announcing significant unit reductions. Sam and Alicia explore the root causes behind this wave of financial distress, including persistent traffic challenges, rising operational costs, and overleveraged balance sheets.On a more optimistic note, Sam and Alicia then shift their attention to marketing, highlighting new campaigns from several major players including Panera Bread, Pizza Hut, Papa Johns, and Olive Garden. Each brand is taking a different approach to cut through the noise and reconnect with consumers — whether through nostalgia, value messaging, product innovation, or experiential activations. The duo analyzes what's working, what's not, and which campaigns have the best chance of actually driving traffic and sales in an environment where consumers are increasingly selective about where they spend their dining dollars.They close out with a Quick Fire round covering the latest industry headlines — including Texas Roadhouse's delivery test, Papa Murphy's closure of 50 stores, and Chipotle's first location in Mexico — before turning things over to senior food and beverage editor Bret Thorn, who interviews Shake Shack's senior director of culinary innovation, Nick Wuest.For more on these stories:Taylor Farms lettuce supplied to Taco Bell linked to cyclosporia outbreakAnother big Hardee's franchisee declares bankruptcyPanera's Unlimited Sip Club will no longer be unlimited

You've been staring at AI like it's a magic trick you'll never understand. You've watched everyone else claim they're 10x more productive while you're still Googling how to write a better prompt. Here's the truth: AI isn't going to replace you because it's smarter. It's going to replace you because someone else learned how to use it and you didn't. Geoff Woods is the author of The AI Driven Leader and has spent years teaching normal people how to use AI to solve real problems, not just write better emails. He's worked with venture backed companies, public corporations, and CEOs racing toward exits, and in this episode, he's breaking down the exact framework that turns AI from a glorified search engine into a strategic thought partner that makes you think better, work faster, and solve problems you didn't even know you had. In this episode, you'll learn: The CRIT framework: Context, Role, Interview, Task, and why this four step process is the difference between AI slop and superhuman output Why asking AI questions is the worst way to use it and how making AI interview you instead unlocks insights you'd never think to share The 80/20 rule of AI: why most people waste time automating tasks that don't matter and how to identify the 20% that drives 80% of your results Why cognitive decline is the greatest risk with AI that nobody's talking about and how to use it in a way that makes your brain stronger, not weaker The AI board: how to build custom personas of Steve Jobs, Warren Buffett, and your future self to advise you every single day Stop treating AI like a shortcut. Start treating it like a thought partner. The people who master this won't just work faster. They'll think differently. Thanks to SoFi for sponsoring this episode!

Recorded live at the Retail Collective Summit, this keynote features Crystal Maggelet outlining her journey from a childhood trailer in Willard, Utah, to managing a multi-billion dollar diversified retail empire. Crystal delivers a masterclass in corporate survival, detailing her sudden appointment as CEO of FJM just three weeks into a massive, free-fall bankruptcy in 2008. She breaks down the strict operational discipline and strategic restructurings required to fully repay the company's massive obligations and successfully exit the crisis. The discussion maps out her subsequent focus on expanding Maverick, transforming it from a traditional fuel station into an experiential quick-service restaurant (QSR) powerhouse. She details how organic cash flow fueled their aggressive multi-state growth, culminating in the massive acquisition and total rebranding of 400 Kum & Go locations. Managing a diverse corporate portfolio spanning energy refineries, banking, hotels, and med spas, Crystal delivers the ultimate blueprint on decentralized executive leadership, corporate board structuring, and building a legacy rooted in employee profit-sharing and social impact.  

Graham Platner is out… but is he? Last night in Maine, he released an 11-minute video that savaged the Democratic establishment and the progressive establishment. He blamed everybody but himself for why he's suspending his campaign, saying all of his resources were taken away from him. The people who didn't fight for him — Ro Khanna, Bernie Sanders, Hasan Piker — all wound up in the blast radius.Everybody wanted Platner to be a lot more conciliatory. He was not. He was forceful. He took what he wanted. But here's the big question: you can't declare bankruptcy like Michael Scott. You can't just walk into the office and yell, “Bankruptcy.” You need to file paperwork. So even though Graham Platner suspended his campaign on Twitter, that doesn't mean his campaign is suspended in real life.Politics Politics Politics is a reader-supported publication. To receive new posts and support my work, consider becoming a free or paid subscriber.He's telling people he'll suspend his campaign on Monday. By the way, Monday is when he needs to file by. If Graham Platner gets a little sleepy on Monday and forgets to file, then there's no replacement. He's the nominee. That's something to keep an eye on. Now, full transparency: I don't believe he's going to do that. I do believe he's going to file either then or sooner, and this will eventually blow over. But, still, with this guy, you really never know.So the question becomes: who's running against Susan Collins? A handful of names are now in the mix, and they'll essentially be decided at a hastily thrown together state convention sometime in the next few weeks, because Democrats need an answer by July 27th. Troy Jackson tends to be more of the favorite of the progressives. Nirav Shah, the former Maine CDC director, is in the conversation. Dan Kleban, who had initially been running against Platner before dropping out when Janet Mills got involved, is back in a big way. Jordan Wood, Paige Loud, and Shenna Bellows bring up the rear.I don't know exactly what happens at that convention. Are they all going to debate on one stage? Are they just going to make their pitches and then have a back and forth? I do know this: if you leave it up to the supporters of those people, they're going to start knifing each other. And if you're a Democrat trying to take down Susan Collins, that's the last thing you want. You don't want this to get fractious.There's some polling from a pro-Nirav Shah outside group showing Shah up on Collins 47-46, Collins up on Troy Jackson 48-47, and Collins tied with Shenna Bellows 47-47. I don't know whether that's a reputable outfit or whether those are reputable polls. What I'll say is this: if you're tied with Susan Collins, you're losing. Platner, before the disaster, was running about eight to ten points ahead of Susan Collins. Now Democrats are looking at people who are tied, and Susan Collins regularly outperforms her polls by six to eight points. So if you're tied with Susan Collins, you're losing. Have we seen the last of Graham Platner? Man, I really don't know.Chapters00:00 - Intro03:52 - Graham Platner09:47 - Trump's Plane Switch12:40 - Mexico, ICE, and Dems Polling18:55 - Interview with Juliegrace Brufke52:36 - Wrap-up This is a public episode.

As America nears its 250th birthday, our Global Head of Fixed Income Andrew Sheets looks back at the early republic as a volatile frontier market, and what its path from credit risks to durable institutions can teach investors today.Read more insights from Morgan Stanley.----- Transcript ----- Andrew Sheets: Welcome to Thoughts on the Market. I'm Andrew Sheets, Global Head of Fixed Income Research at Morgan Stanley.Today, markets are closed for the observance of 4th of July. But as America approaches its 250th anniversary, we take a look back to look forward at early America as a frontier market.It's Friday, July 3rd at 9am in Seattle.If you were a global investor at the end of the 18th century looking for a stable, low-risk home for your capital, it would have been entirely reasonable to avoid the newly minted United States of America. By the standards of modern finance, the young republic was not a developed market in waiting. It was a frontier economy: volatile, debt-burdened, institutionally fragile, resource-rich, politically combustible, and astonishingly unequal.Its currency had collapsed. Its public finances were suspect. Its citizens resisted taxation, and its growth prospects were extraordinary. In 1810, 70 percent of the country was under the age of 25.That is one of the revelations of Gordon Wood's Empire of Liberty, which focuses on the early days of the new country from 1789 to 1815.Wood's America is not the marble republic of statues and myth. It is speculative, messy, and full of motion. The United States succeeded not by escaping the dysfunctions that we associate with emerging or frontier markets, but by turning them into sources of strength.Start with capital. Early America needed it desperately. Roads, canals, land purchases, and government all required credit, and there was never enough of it. The country was rich in land and poor in liquidity, a classic emerging market mismatch.What the young country couldn't borrow or invent, it misappropriated, lifting intellectual property from its former masters in Britain. What Alexander Hamilton understood was the importance of confidence given this challenge; that debts would be honored, contracts enforced, and taxes, however unpopular, collected.His financial program was an attempt to solve the emerging market problem before the phrase existed. How to persuade investors that a new state, born in revolution and nearly bankrupted by war, could be trusted. To Hamilton, public credit was the foundation of independence.To many Jeffersonians, however, this system looked like an attempt to smuggle a British financial order back into the country that had just fought to expel it.The early republic's debates over debt, banks, speculation, and taxation sound contemporary because the underlying question is perennial in frontier markets: Can a society embrace credit and foreign capital without being captured by it?The U.S. was not starting from zero. It inherited legal traditions, habits of self-government, and a culture of contract and property. Those foundations gave confidence that disputes could be adjudicated, debts pursued, and rules would not be arbitrary.Early America was risky, but it was not lawless. And still, it did not go smoothly. There was no Federal Reserve, FDIC, or even a uniform national currency. Business was conducted with foreign coins, notes issued by private banks, IOUs, and blind optimism.Bank failures were common. In 1808, the Farmers Exchange Bank of Rhode Island issued over $600,000 of notes against less than $90 of gold in its vaults. You almost have to admire the audacity.Yet the same instability that made early America risky also made it unusually open. Land was the country's great asset class, a source of migration, ambition, speculation, and opportunity, at least for white settlers. It also produced bubbles, administrative strain, the expansion of slavery, and the violent dispossession of Native peoples.The Louisiana Purchase in 1803 was a risky, leveraged acquisition of distressed real estate, doubling the scale of the American experiment before anyone had quite figured out how the original version was supposed to work. Wood is especially good on the familiar energy unleashed by this world.The engine of U.S. growth was not an aristocracy of polished grandees, but the "middling sort." Shopkeepers, artisans, tavern owners, mechanics, farmers, merchants, and speculators – many convinced that in America, birthright mattered less than hustle.Commentators of the time complained about the degraded press, political polarization, hostility to expertise, and the vulgarity of a society obsessed with getting ahead. None of this sounds especially distant.What saved America from the usual traps of frontier economies was not immaculate stability. It was adaptability. Its constitution was amended. Political power changed hands despite animosity.Bankruptcy laws allowed for failure. Competition was ferocious, and economic power was generally too diffuse to be easily monopolized. The early republic's genius lay less in solving its contradictions than in creating ways to fight over them without destroying the whole.That is a useful lesson for America at 250. We tend to look backwards for reassurance, imagining that the country once possessed a unity, prudence, and institutional solidity that we have since lost. Wood suggests something different, that the United States was turbulent from the start.Its legacy was contested, its finances distrusted, its politics venomous, its expansion intertwined with slavery and Native dispossession, and its future uncertain. Emerging markets become developed markets not because they stop having crises, but because they build credibility through them. They learn which institutions matter, which bargains endure, which debts must be paid, and which moral liabilities compound when deferred.America was not born orderly, rich, or secure. It was born in the mud, financed on fragile credit, driven by speculation, and sustained by an almost irrational confidence in the future.So, enjoy the fireworks – and let them be a reminder that national maturity is not the absence of volatility. It's the capacity to turn that volatility into renewal.A postscript: Gordon S. Wood died in early June of this year. As a professor, author, and one of the preeminent scholars of the American Revolution, he brought fresh insight and deep humanization to the country's founding. For anyone looking for a better understanding of America as it celebrates a big anniversary, we'd wholeheartedly recommend his workThank you, as always, for your time.
