A hundred years ago, people in small towns were building things that still stop us in our tracks. Two-story brick shops on the corner of Main and Commerce. Sturdy. Modest. Enduring. And beautiful.So the question is: what changed?I joined Geoff Graham on his Yeoman podcast, alongside Jaime Izurieta and Saifedean Ammous (author of The Bitcoin Standard), to try and unpack that question.We talk about why the small towns of the early 1900s could build beautiful things without credentialed architects, starchitects, or REIT funding... and why today, with all our global supply chains and five-star consultants, we mostly build disposable boxes.Turns out, there's a connection between money, time preference, and architecture. And when the money got funny, everything else started to crack too – our neighborhoods, our supply chains, even our standards for beauty.It's a wide-ranging conversation that touches on architecture, monetary policy, code creep, and how the over-financialization of everything is eroding our ability to build for the long haul.Take a listen if you've ever wondered why your grandparents' post office looks better than your city's new civic center.CHAPTERS00:00 The Changing Landscape of Building and Time Preference02:51 Exploring the Intersection of Money and Architecture05:57 Historical Context: Building in Early 20th Century America09:01 The Role of Local Materials and Community in Architecture11:54 Understanding Time Preference and Its Impact on Building15:09 The Influence of Monetary Policy on Architectural Beauty17:50 The Shift from Hard Money to Inflationary Currency21:03 Regulatory Challenges and Their Impact on Construction23:57 The Disparity Between Wealth and Money26:56 The Future of Architecture in an Inflationary Economy40:47 Innovative Window Design and Egress Solutions41:32 The Rising Cost of Housing and Inflation's Impact42:32 Housing as a Store of Value45:18 The Competition for Homeownership47:26 Regulatory Challenges in Housing Production50:47 The Complexity of Modern Building Standards52:43 Energy Efficiency and Building Costs53:43 Inflation and Environmental Concerns56:29 The Future of Energy Production01:01:20 The Role of Nuclear Energy01:03:03 The Case for Sound Money and Bitcoin01:12:14 The Path to a Low Time Preference WorldCONNECT WITH THE GUESTSGeoff Graham: Host of the Yeoman Podcast, real estate developer​Yeoman Podcast Website: https://graham.dev/yeoman/Jaime Izurieta Varela: Architect, developer, urbanist​www.storefrontmastery.com https://x.com/izurietavarea https://www.linkedin.com/in/izurietavarea/ https://www.instagram.com/storefrontmastery/  https://www.facebook.com/public/Jaime-Izurieta/ Book: Mainstreet Mavericks Saifedean Ammous: Economist, Bitcoin advocate, author​Website: https://saifedean.com/Twitter (X): @saifedeanInstagram: @saifedeanPodcast: saifedean.com/podcastCourses: saifedean.com/coursesMENTIONED RESOURCESThe Bitcoin Standard: The Decentralized Alternative to Central Banking https://saifedean.com/the-bitcoin-standardThe Fiat Standard: The Debt Slavery Alternative to Human Civilization https://saifedean.com/the-fiat-standardCONNECT WITH AUSTIN TUNNELLNewsletter: https://playbook.buildingculture.com/ https://www.instagram.com/austintunnell/ https://www.linkedin.com/in/austin-tunnell-2a41894a/ https://twitter.com/AustinTunnellCONNECT WITH BUILDING CULTUREhttps://www.buildingculture.com/ https://www.instagram.com/buildingculture/ https://twitter.com/build_culture https://www.facebook.com/BuildCulture/ SPONSORSThank you so much to the sponsors of The Building Culture Podcast!Sierra Pacific Windows: https://www.sierrapacificwindows.com/ One Source Windows: https://onesourcewindows.com/

What if ending the Federal Reserve created worse problems than the ones we're trying to solve?In this solo presentation, Hans explores the complex world of central banking, focusing on the Federal Reserve's role in the global economy. He examines monetary policy from their perspective to help listeners understand the actual mechanisms at work beyond the typical criticisms.The presentation takes a deep dive into the US dollar's status as the world's reserve currency, exploring both the benefits and costs of this position that few Americans fully understand. Through an examination of the "Triffin Dilemma," Hans explains the historical tensions between maintaining a gold standard and providing sufficient global liquidity.With careful analysis backed by economic texts, he offers a warning about alternatives to the current system, suggesting that globalist central banking plans might be far more concerning than our existing monetary framework.Central Banking from the Insider Perspective: An approach to monetary policy from the perspective of those who implement it, explaining how the Treasury, Federal Reserve, and Congress all play interconnected roles in the expansion of the money supply. Clarification that while the Fed does expand the money supply, the initial demand for money starts with Congressional spending.The US Dollar as World Reserve Currency: A deep dive into what it means for the US to have the world's reserve currency, exploring both the benefits (seigniorage, lower borrowing costs, international prestige) and the costs (vulnerability to global financial shocks, trade imbalances, currency appreciation affecting exports).The Triffin Dilemma Explained: An exploration of economist Robert Triffin's identified conflict: global trade needs an elastic supply of dollar liquidity, but the US gold holdings (under the former gold standard) were essentially fixed. This tension ultimately led to abandoning the gold standard in 1971 and has significant implications for today's monetary system.Be Careful What You Wish For: A warning about the alternatives to the Federal Reserve, suggesting that what globalist central bankers have been trying to implement for decades—a global currency outside national control—would be worse for Americans than the current system.▶️ Chapters:00:00 - Introduction and Background on Central Banking03:00 - Why Few People Understand the Fed's Real Mechanisms06:00 - How Money Creation Works: Congress to Treasury to Fed11:00 - Central Banking Alternatives and Their Risks15:00 - Reserve Currency Status: Definition and History22:00 - Benefits of Being the World's Reserve Currency28:00 - The Costs of Reserve Currency Status32:00 - The Triffin Dilemma: Gold Standard vs. Elastic Currency41:00 - How Central Bankers View Gold as a "Brake on Growth"47:00 - Ending Gold Convertibility in 1971 and Its Effects51:00 - Warning About Globalist Central Banking Alternatives54:00 - Conclusion and Call for FeedbackGot Questions?

If you don't hear it from us, you're not going to just stumble across it - but what exactly is "it" when it comes to the truth about our financial system?In this episode of Remnant Finance, Hans dives into the mechanics of central banking, monetary systems, and the financial "rules of the game" that affect us all daily—yet remain largely hidden from view.This episode offers a thoughtful examination of how our financial system actually works and why understanding it matters for those implementing IBC (Infinite Banking Concept). Rather than simply demonizing central banking and fiat currency, Hans argues for a more nuanced approach: truly understanding the system we're forced to operate within.Exploring everything from the true origins of money to the relationship between Congress, the Federal Reserve, and the Treasury, this episode challenges many common assumptions while providing practical insights for navigating our current financial reality. It's a masterclass in "knowing your enemy" for anyone looking to protect their financial future through IBC principles.The Origin and Nature of Money: An exploration of competing theories about where money comes from - the mettallist "barter origin story" versus the chartalist view that money is a creation of the state.Fiat Money Realities: Why fiat currency isn't inherently evil, but rather a medium defined by government decree - one we're forced to interact with whether we like it or not.State Money vs. Bank Money: Understanding the difference between state-created monetary base (legal tender) and the expanded bank money created through fractional reserve banking.The True Role of the Federal Reserve: Challenging common misconceptions about who's really responsible for inflation - is it really Jerome Powell and the Fed, or is Congress the true culprit?Fractional Reserve Banking Explained: A clear breakdown of how banks can turn $100 of deposits into $1000 through the money multiplier effect, and the implications this has for our economy.Practical IBC Application: Why using IBC is about optimizing within a fiat system we can't escape, rather than pretending we can avoid it entirely.▶️ Chapters:00:00 -  Introduction and Reality Check05:00 - The Encyclopedia of Central Banking07:00 - Questioning Our Financial System13:00 - Learning From Central Bankers18:00 - Understanding the Rules of the Game25:00 - What Is Money?

In this episode, Doug answers thought-provoking questions from members on various topics, including the ideal role of government, monetary policy with gold, the nature of political power, and historical cyclical theories. He emphasizes reducing government's role to three core functions and advocates for a gold-based economy. Doug discusses the inherent pull of criminal personalities towards politics, the practicalities of minimal government involvement, and the nonexistence of a historical 'Golden Age.' He also touches on geopolitical issues, the digitalization of assets, and the relationship between large and small businesses within regulatory frameworks. Throughout, Doug makes a case for technology paired with voluntary adoption over coercion and critiques the current state of monetary systems.   00:00 Introduction and Philosophical Questions 00:40 Gold as Money and Banking Reforms 03:13 The Nature of Politics and Criminal Personalities 05:47 Cyclical Nature of Time and Quality of People 09:43 Annexation and Geopolitical Questions 13:43 Digital Assets and Government Centralization 18:32 Technocracy and Technology's Role 21:38 Big Business, Small Business, and Government Influence 23:45 Western Movies and Cultural Reflections 25:11 China's Dependency on the U.S. 25:30 China's Growing Economic Power 27:20 US-China Trade Dynamics 28:58 The Strong Dollar Policy 30:39 Critique of the Treasury Secretary's Statements 34:16 Gold and the Financial System 37:35 Central Banking and Gold Reserves 46:45 Upcoming Projects and Final Thoughts

In this episode, we return to a theme which is likely to become increasingly central to public discussion in the months and years ahead. To use a term coined by this podcast's cohost Calum Chace, this theme is the Economic Singularity, namely the potential all-round displacement of humans from the workforce by ever more capable automation. That leads to the question: what are our options for managing the transition of society to increasing technological unemployment and technological underemployment.Our guest, who will be sharing his thinking on these questions, is the prolific writer and YouTuber David Shapiro. As well as keeping on top of fast-changing news about innovations in AI, David has been developing a set of ideas he calls post-labour economics – how an economy might continue to function even if humans can no longer gain financial rewards in direct return for their labour.Selected follow-ups:David Shapiro's SubstackDavid Shapiro's channel on YouTubeJulia McCoy's channel on YouTubeNext stop: Miami - WaymoResource Based EconomyDebt: The First 5,000 Years - book by David GraeberBroken Money: Why Our Financial System is Failing Us and How We Can Make it Better - book by Lyn AldenThe Bitcoin Standard: The Decentralized Alternative to Central Banking - book by Saifedean AmmousNormalcy bias - WikipediaWhy Nations Fail: The Origins of Power, Prosperity, and Poverty - book by Daron Acemoğlu and James A.

This is the final episode of Cited's most recent season, Use & Abuse of Economic Expertise, a season that tells stories of the political and scholarly battles behind the economic ideas that shape our world. For a full list of credits, and for the rest of the episodes, visit the series page. They will back with a new season focussed on environmental politics in early 2025, so make sure you are subscribed to the podcast (Apple, Spotify, manual RSS). The MAGA movement scores big wins by taking cheap shots at experts. Now, some worry that Donald Trump could try to oust Federal Reserve Chairman Jerome Powell. The typical centrist position is to defend the supposedly impartial, apolitical expertise of such figures. Yet, we know that is not exactly right either. Is there a better way to imagine a better bank? In our first segment, we speak with Frances Coppala, author of The Case for People's Quantitative Easing. It's something of a case study in Fed politics, revealing how their decisions post-Global Financial Crisis served the rich, and not working people. Yet, saying that these experts are political does not mean we have to be hyper-partisan reactionary hacks. Instead, democratizing the bank could offer a better way forward. That's according to Annelise Riles, a professor of law and of anthropology, and author of the book Financial Citizenship: Experts, Publics, and the Politics of Central Banking. Riles is also host the Foreign Policy podcast Everyday Ambassador, which its new second season out now. What would democratizing the Fed look like, and would that really counter the powerful financial interests that have so thoroughly captured the institution? Learn more about your ad choices.

Tuur breaks down the aggressive nature of the report, which accuses Bitcoin of fostering wealth inequality and undermining economic productivity. The crew highlights the report's misleading arguments, comparing Bitcoin to fiat currencies and noting that fiat, not Bitcoin, is what actually contributes to wealth disparity.

In this episode of Crazy Wisdom, I, Stewart Alsop, welcome Reaxionario, a Twitter personality deeply immersed in Argentine politics and geopolitics. We discuss Argentina's turbulent political history, from the rise of Peronism to the current economic policies under Javier Milei. Our conversation weaves through the complexities of socialism, populism, and the global shifts in economic power, touching on the failures of central banking, the erosion of middle-class values, and the emerging counterculture on the political right. For more, follow Reaxionario on Twitter @reaxionario.Check out this GPT we trained on the conversation!Timestamps00:00 Introduction to the Crazy Wisdom Podcast00:32 Global Markets and Economic Trends03:13 Argentina's Economic History and Central Bank05:35 The Rise and Fall of Argentina's Economy13:30 Peronism and Its Impact on Argentina20:29 Modern Political Movements in Argentina33:27 The 2020 Pandemic and Its Aftermath36:21 The Argentine Way of Defiance37:20 Economic Struggles and Public Resentment40:35 The Rise of Javier Milen42:31 Middle Class and Inflation46:45 The Welfare State Debate52:38 Youth Rebellion and Kirchnerismo54:59 Global Counterculture and Humor01:02:11 Decentralized Movements and Optimism01:05:18 Conclusion and Future OutlookKey InsightsThe Erosion of Argentina's Middle Class: One of the central themes is the decline of Argentina's middle class, which has been squeezed by inflation, high taxes, and policies that favor the political elite and public sector employees. Reaxionario argues that decades of socialist and Peronist policies have created a two-tiered society where the bureaucratic class prospers, while the middle class steadily shrinks, losing access to the cultural and material wealth it once enjoyed.Javier Milei as a Refined Populist: Unlike populists such as Donald Trump, Javier Milei is presented as a more intellectual figure, grounded in a deep understanding of economics and a clear vision for dismantling Argentina's welfare state. Milei channels the anger of a disenfranchised population, especially among the youth, but his appeal lies in his coherence and refined arguments, not just in emotional rhetoric.The Failure of the Welfare State: The episode emphasizes that Argentina's welfare state, which initially provided comfort for the middle class, has failed over time. Reaxionario points out that the system is unsustainable, creating temporary prosperity by consuming wealth created in previous generations while leaving future generations without the means to produce new wealth. This mirrors a broader global trend where welfare states are collapsing under the weight of unsustainable promises.Argentina's Role as a Bellwether for the West: Reaxionario suggests that Argentina is a microcosm of what is happening—or will happen—across Western nations. Once a prosperous country in the early 20th century, Argentina's descent into populism, central planning, and the erosion of individual freedoms mirrors what is now happening in Europe and the U.S. Argentina, having already reached the extreme, may offer insight into the future trajectory of other nations struggling with similar economic and political dynamics.Youth Rebellion Against the Political Class: A significant portion of the episode is dedicated to understanding how Argentina's younger generations have rallied around Milei. After suffering through the longest lockdown in the world and seeing the failures of the Kirchnerist elite, young Argentines are rejecting the political establishment. This generation, stifled by economic hardships and a bleak future, sees Milei as a vehicle for real change and an escape from the political class's control.The Impact of the 2020 Pandemic: The pandemic served as a tipping point for many Argentines, exacerbating societal divisions and heightening resentment toward the ruling elite. The long lockdown, particularly in Buenos Aires, crippled the economy while exposing the hypocrisy of the political class, as government officials flouted their own lockdown rules. This fed into a broader distrust of the government, fueling the rise of figures like Milei who promise to dismantle these failed structures.The Global Counterculture Shift: Reaxionario posits that there is a new, decentralized counterculture rising on the political right, much like the left-wing counterculture of the 1960s. This movement is characterized by a rejection of progressive authoritarianism, particularly in humor, free speech, and economic freedom. This counterculture is spreading globally and has found fertile ground in Argentina, where the failure of leftist policies is most visible. This marks a significant shift as the left-wing establishment is now the authoritarian force, while the right becomes the voice of rebellion and change.
