Podcasts about Cronyism

Epstein; Tariffs; GM; Fed; Energy; Sugar; Cronyism; Russia; China; Fusion; AI |The Yaron Brook Show | July 22, 2025 In this packed and provocative episode, Yaron dives into the latest headlines—from the moral rot surrounding Jeffrey Epstein and the cowardice of those in power, to the destructive resurgence of protectionism in the form of tariffs. He takes on General Motors and the growing web of corporate-state entanglement, lambasting the Federal Reserve for its continued economic manipulation. In segments on energy and sugar, Yaron exposes the deep-rooted cronyism distorting prices and crushing innovation—all while enriching the politically connected.The conversation then turns global, with sharp commentary on Russia's aggression, China's authoritarian ambitions, and the West's philosophical disarmament in the face of both. Yaron explores the promise and peril of emerging technologies—like the bold (but dubious?) claims of nuclear fusion breakthroughs, and the race to harness AI without sacrificing individual rights and human purpose. Can the West still lead? Only if it reclaims its moral and philosophical foundations.**Live Questions:**In a dynamic and wide-ranging Q&A, Yaron answers questions about the psychology behind public shaming and resentment, the loneliness epidemic, the relationship between logic and reason, and whether a love of money is virtuous. Viewers asked about favorite rockstars to resurrect (hello, Freddie Mercury), Kurosawa films, NYC boroughs, and even the ethics of eternal post-death consciousness. One question explored how proximity to people who refuse to truly *Live* can affect your own ability to thrive. As always, thoughtful, unscripted, and unapologetically rational.Key Time Stamps:05:00 Jeffrey Epstein10:15 Tariffs15:15 General Motors19:10 Federal Reserve27:00 Energy30:45 Sugar35:55 Cronyism44:20 Russia48:40 China53:40 Fusion1:03:00 AILive Questions begin at 1:08:18---

Did the Marshall Plan save Europe or enrich crony capitalists? Patrick Newman discusses how corporate welfare, hidden deals, and corruption shaped postwar policy, with effects still felt today.Recorded at the Mises Institute in Auburn, Alabama, on May 16, 2025.

Whether it's pumping oil, mining resources or shipping commodities across oceans, the global economy runs on extraction. Promises of frictionless trade and lucrative speculation are the hallmarks of our era, but the backbone of globalisation is still low-cost labour and rapacious corporate control. Extractive capitalism is what made - and is still making - our unequal world. In Extractive Capitalism: How Commodities and Cronyism Drive the Global Economy (Verso, 2025) Professor Laleh Khalili reflects on the hidden stories behind late capitalism, from seafarers abandoned on debt-ridden container ships to the nefarious reach of consultancy firms and the cronyism that drives record-breaking profits. Piercing, wry and constantly revealing, Extractive Capitalism brings vividly to light the dark truths behind the world's most voracious industries. This interview was conducted by Dr. Miranda Melcher whose new book focuses on post-conflict military integration, understanding treaty negotiation and implementation in civil war contexts, with qualitative analysis of the Angolan and Mozambican civil wars.

Political and economic debates in 2024 were dominated by the Government's new fast-track legislation, a controversial bill that aims to speed up infrastructure and development, which passed just before Christmas.

Merriam-Webster's Word of the Day for September 3, 2024 is: cronyism • KROH-nee-iz-um • noun Cronyism is the unfair practice by a powerful person (such as a politician) of giving jobs and other favors to friends without regard for their qualifications. // City residents are pushing back against cronyism and corruption in their local government. See the entry > Examples: “Expertise, not cronyism, is needed to determine which strategies are most likely to lead to meaningful gains.” — Time, 23 Aug. 2023 Did you know? The word cronyism evolved in the 19th century as a spin-off of crony, meaning “friend” or “pal.” In its younger days, cronyism simply meant “friendship,” or “the ability to make friends.” The word didn't turn bad until the next century, when Americans starting using it to refer to the act of playing political favorites. If cronyism is new to your vocabulary, perhaps you're more familiar with the related term nepotism, meaning “favoritism based on kinship, especially in professional and political contexts.”

The government seems to have appointed another party-political advisor to the civil service – this time Labour Together's Jess Sargeant to the role of deputy director at the Cabinet Office's Propriety and Constitution Group. Is the Labour party just as prone to a bit of cronyism as they accuse the Tories of having been? Cindy Yu talks to James Heale and Isabel Hardman. Produced by Cindy Yu.

The task of the economic historian that views government regulation through the lens of cronyism is to uncover the actual motivations—not the stated motivations—behind legislation and reveal who really benefited.Recorded at the Mises Institute in Auburn, Alabama, on July 31, 2024.Mises University is the world's leading instructional program in the Austrian School of economics, and is the essential training ground for economists who are looking beyond the mainstream.

In this episode of Acton Line, Dylan Pahman, executive editor of the Journal of Markets and Morality, and a research fellow here at Acton, interviews Dr. Anne Rathbone Bradley about her lecture at Acton University on “Corporate Welfare and Inequality.”  In this conversation, this discuss why  the prices of some goods, like education and healthcare, risen at astronomical rates while others, such as video games, remain fairly unchanged in price despite monumental improvements in quality and steady inflation over the decades.
