China's rapid ascent from rural poverty to industrial superpower reshaped the global economy and established a new center of gravity for manufacturing. Today, Chinese factories anchor much of the world's supply chains, producing goods at a speed and scale that few countries can match. Behind this transformation is a system that author Dan Wang describes in his new book "Breakneck: China's Quest to Engineer the Future" as the "engineering state," a model defined by massive investments in infrastructure, strategic planning, and so-called "process knowledge" gleaned from the country's rapid industrial development. Now, more and more, the Chinese government touts this development model as an example for other countries in the Global South to emulate. Dan joins Eric to discuss whether the so-called "engineering state" is replicable elsewhere or if it's a uniquely Chinese phenomenon. CHAPTERS: • Setting the Stage – China's rise from rural poverty to industrial superpower • The Engineering State – How China builds, plans, and organizes at a massive scale • Roots of the Model – East Asian development traditions and Soviet legacies • Infrastructure as Strategy – High-speed rail, bridges, airports, and the costs behind them • Industrial Capacity – Manufacturing clusters, supply chains, and process knowledge • The Speed Advantage – Why Chinese firms move faster than global competitors • Tech Transfer Debates – Joint ventures, old IP, and myths about forced transfers • Subsidies and Support – What Chinese industrial subsidies do—and what they don't • Exporting the Model – Limits of replication in Africa, Asia, and the Global South • The China Price – How scale, logistics, and workforce learning lock in dominance • Internal Tensions – Debt, underused infrastructure, and diminishing returns • Shifting Priorities – Xi's push away from consumer tech and toward strategic industries • Global Backlash – Overcapacity, trade pushback, and rising protectionism • Future Crossroads – Why China's development engine is losing momentum • Lessons for the Global South – What countries can adapt—and what they must avoid JOIN THE DISCUSSION: X: @ChinaGSProject | @eric_olander  Facebook: www.facebook.com/ChinaAfricaProject YouTube: www.youtube.com/@ChinaGlobalSouth Now on Bluesky!

Nolan Gray — Senior Director of Legislation and Research at California YIMBY — is in good traffic this week for a discussion on how the state with America's biggest housing problem has become a national leader in reforming the rules of the built environment. California is often treated as both a cautionary tale and a blueprint — derided for its crises yet envied for its innovation. Nolan walks us through California's last decade of housing policy evolution — from failed early bills like SB 827 and SB 50 to seismic wins like SB 79, which legalized mid-rise multifamily housing near transit, and AB 130, which exempted infill housing from certain environmental reviews. He explains how bipartisan coalitions, local data, and a willingness to rethink outdated laws like CEQA have made real change possible.We also touch on: Why density is environmentalism. The cultural paradox of Los Angeles and car dependence. How Sacramento quietly became California's model midsized city. The future of transit funding and infill development. Lessons from working across political divides to make housing work. How storytelling and communication shape real policy progress.Timeline:00:00 The nuance of California.01:15 The contradictions of California's reputation.02:29 Economic powerhouse, housing failure.04:21 Newsom, YIMBYs, and the new momentum.05:20 Nolan Gray.07:23 California's housing crisis explained.08:47 Why families are leaving the state.09:51 The political wake-up call.10:12 Origins of recent SBs.11:33 Early lessons from failed reforms.12:24 The ADU revolution.13:20 Environmental review reform (AB 130).14:17 Construction costs and the next frontier.15:11 Inside the CEQA reform victory.20:02 Rethinking “environmentalism” in housing.22:47 How CEQA became weaponized.24:20 The irony of “greenfield” development.25:40 Real environmentalists vs. procedural ones.26:09 Bridging divides across California.27:37 Exporting the housing crisis inland.28:18 Bipartisan coalitions and shared values.29:28 Property rights and family housing narratives.30:14 SB 79 as a national model.31:14 The transit funding question.32:18 Transit agencies as landowners.33:02 Revenue models for sustainable transit.33:47 Building costs and American inefficiency.34:31 Transit as geometry, not ideology.35:14 The LA paradox.36:08 Car culture as identity.37:23 Angelenos waking up to change.38:38 Sacramento's quiet leadership.45:34 Practical vs. theoretical planning.47:20 UCLA and the civic responsibility of planners.48:06 Donald Shoup's influence.50:33 Communicating policy and nuance.52:24 The gap between research and perception.53:05 Policy storytelling and responsibility.54:16 How to make complexity accessible.55:06 Why housing reform depends on communication.56:22 Wrapping up.For context:Read Nolan's work on Substack.On SB79.On CEQA.California YIMBY.Nolan's book, on zoning.

PREVIEW. Canada-China Trade Talks and EV Security Concerns. Charles Burton discusses Canada-China trade talks (Carney/Xi) post-APEC concerning resuming and enhancing trade. Concerns include China exporting thousands of EVs, potentially overwhelming domestic industries and acting as security threats. Canada hopes China will manufacture EVs locally to offset Canadian auto job losses, but Burton is skeptical of this strategy and considers the Canadian government ill-advised.

From Lagaan to RRR, Indian cinema has gone truly global. But behind the glitz of overseas premieres and record-breaking box offices lies a fast-changing battlefield. In this explosive conversation, Host Rajesh Naidu talk to veteran overseas distributor Pranab Kapadia to unpacks the billion-rupee world of international film distribution: how Bollywood grew from 300 screens in 2003 to 60+ countries today, the diaspora’s unmatched influence, and why the U.S. alone powers up to 50% of overseas revenues. But a perfect storm is brewing. Trump’s 100% tariff on foreign films, the rise of streaming platforms, and shifting audience behaviour could redraw the cinematic map. Will the next Rocky Rani or RRR find its audience in theatres or on OTT? And can Indian cinema keep expanding into untapped markets from Africa to Eastern Europe?

In this episode of The Global Marketing Show, host Wendy Mackenzie Pease, President of Rapport International, shares exciting podcast updates, personal global experiences, and key lessons on why exporting is essential for U.S. business growth. She also unveils her upcoming book, The Secrets of Global Sales, drawn from insights across hundreds of international conversations. Top Takeaways: Exporting drives higher revenues, stability, and long-term growth for U.S. companies. Fear of language and culture often limits global potential. Translation bridges that gap.

Host Faust Checho exposes how Bill Clinton's rise from Arkansas governor to president completed the Bush–Clinton blueprint: turning the Boys on the Tracks cover-up, Whitewater, Waco, and the Oklahoma City bombing into milestones in the creation of America's modern security state.This is Part 5, the finale of Faust's explosive series exposing how the Bush–Clinton machine evolved from covert wars to total domestic control.As the Bush–Clinton dynasty tightened its grip, Arkansas became the prototype for covert power — a proving ground where autopsies were altered, investigators silenced, and scandals rebranded as reform. In this explosive finale of the Bush-Clinton corruption series, Faust traces how scandal in Saline County evolved into the Clinton Body Count, how REX 84 and Operation Night Train foreshadowed a domestic war machine, and how policies like the 1994 Crime Bill, NAFTA, and the Telecommunications Act transformed America into the surveillance state we live in today. From Mena to the Rose Law Firm, from Haiti to Kosovo, the same networks of money, drugs, and blackmail that fueled Iran-Contra were refined under Bill Clinton — and exported worldwide.Topics in this episode include:

Muscle Tension Intervals are those big gear, low cadence masher that are like lifting weights on the bike. You can do them in the CoachCat app → https://fascatcoaching.com/app where the first month is free. The problem? Not everyone has access to a steady 3–5% climb like we do here in Boulder.  That's where Zwift comes in. In this video, Coach Frank walks you through two ways to perform Muscle Tension Intervals on Zwift: 1️⃣ Exporting your workout into ERG mode and using the Incline setting in the Companion app. 2️⃣ Riding free-form in the Climb Portal and simulation riding uphill for work intervals, then turning around and coasting downhill for recovery. Additionally, you'll learn how torque (force on the pedals) connects to power, and why these intervals build the kind of strength that pays off when you combine it with higher cadence later in the season.

This Flashback Friday is from episode 427 published last October 17, 2014 On today's Creating Wealth Show, Jason Hartman talks about the vital side of investing that is construction cost. As an investor within real estate, it's so important to know the situation, whether it be adjusting how much you pay contractors to match with the area itself or knowing just how much the replacements to your property would be compared with the actual cost price. Senate Libertarian candidate, Sean Haugh, features as Jason's guest and together, they discuss the viability of war, the need for America to prove itself as a haven of free trade and prosperity and some of the most important points forming the basis of Haugh's upcoming campaign.     Follow Jason on TWITTER, INSTAGRAM & LINKEDIN Twitter.com/JasonHartmanROI Instagram.com/jasonhartman1/ Linkedin.com/in/jasonhartmaninvestor/ Call our Investment Counselors at: 1-800-HARTMAN (US) or visit: https://www.jasonhartman.com/ Free Class:  Easily get up to $250,000 in funding for real estate, business or anything else: http://JasonHartman.com/Fund CYA Protect Your Assets, Save Taxes & Estate Planning: http://JasonHartman.com/Protect Get wholesale real estate deals for investment or build a great business – Free Course: https://www.jasonhartman.com/deals Special Offer from Ron LeGrand: https://JasonHartman.com/Ron Free Mini-Book on Pandemic Investing: https://www.PandemicInvesting.com

08/15/2025 - John Ensor -on abortion imperialism: exporting abortion to other countries

Today, Jess, Martha, and Les examine the Trump Administration's surprise pivot to allow Nvidia and AMD to resume sales of select AI chips to China—a reversal from export controls implemented under both Trump's first term and the Biden Administration. The move, described by the administration as a “pragmatic trade-off,” aims to keep American firms in the Chinese market, but has drawn bipartisan criticism as a dangerous precedent—trading national security for short-term business gains. Is this a smart economic play that maintains leverage over China, or does it erode long-term U.S. security? Does this decision undercut efforts to build an export control regime that's predictable for industry and credible to allies? And if China can already acquire these chips, does restricting—or permitting—sales really make a difference?Check out the sources that helped shape our Fellows' discussions: https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2025-08-13/trump-s-deal-with-nvidia-offers-path-forward-in-global-trade-war https://fortune.com/asia/2025/08/14/us-china-trump-revenue-share-export-controls-nvidia-amd/ https://thehill.com/policy/technology/5446890-nvidia-amd-china-chip-deal/ Follow our experts on Twitter: @NotTVJessJones@marthamillerdc@lestermunson Like what we're doing here?

Shooting clubs on Salisbury Plain say they may have to close because they can't get a licence to release game birds. Clubs near protected areas, like Sites of Special Scientific Interest, now need a special licence from Natural England to release birds like pheasants and that's now harder to get because of the threat of bird flu. The British Association for Shooting and Conservation or BASC says the licensing system is legally flawed and it's issued legal proceedings against Natural England. However the RSPB would like to see the licensing regime extended. It's called for all game bird releases to be stopped this year because of the risks. In the meantime, clubs say no shoots means no money coming in which means some, like the Bulford and Tidworth Garrison Shoot, are at risk of folding.All week we're looking at what's known as the 5th quarter - this is the name given to the offcuts of meat which, though edible, the British palate isn't keen on. Carcass balance is about finding a use for offal and things like ears or trotters both to combat waste and to get the best price for the whole animal and that means exports. British consumers may not want to eat this sort of thing, but in other parts of the world there is a market so in recent years greater emphasis has been put on seeking out new buyers to get the best out of animal carcasses.

Friends, the way back is not to make the church more like the world, but to let the church be the church again. We need to recover the worship of the early church — worship that is saturated with Scripture, centred on Christ, filled with the Spirit, and directed to the glory of God alone. That means singing songs rich in biblical truth, not just catchy melodies. Preaching sermons that open the Bible, expose its meaning, and apply it without fear. Praying prayers that confess sin, plead for the lost, and ask God to make us holy. And gathering as participants, not spectators. Worship is not a performance we attend; it is a holy encounter we enter.

This week we talk to Matthew Ruddy, a young Dublin entrepreneur who did everything right - built his first business at 17, worked alongside the lads at Dogpatch Labs. Except he's now living in Brisbane, not Dublin. Matthew's story captures what's happening to an entire generation. These aren't traditional emigrants heading to London building sites, they're highly educated risk-takers who desperately want to stay home but can't afford to take entrepreneurial risks when rent costs two grand a month. The statistics are staggering: home ownership among 25-34 year olds has fallen by 48% since the mid-90s; the highest decline in the world. This housing catastrophe is causing a mental health crisis among young adults in English-speaking countries, with Ireland leading the pack. It's creating a vicious cycle where young talent either takes safe multinational jobs or emigrates entirely, starving Irish startups of the people they need. Meanwhile, we're left wondering where all the young entrepreneurs have gone. They're everywhere but home. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

NGI's LNG editors Jamison Cocklin and Jacob Dick examine the market implications of Canada's entry into large-scale LNG exports, following Shell plc's LNG Canada facility shipping its first cargo in June.   Despite the milestone, Canadian gas prices continue falling relative to Lower 48 counterparts as the country's producers aggressively ramp production ahead of demand. The discussion dives into the details of LNG Canada's startup, timelines for other projects advancing on the country's west coast, and when supply-demand rebalancing could impact U.S.-Canadian price differentials.   The duo also cover the unique advantages Canadian LNG offers, including shorter shipping times to Asia, as well the challenges like building infrastructure in remote areas.

The Trump administration has confirmed it is looking to reopen and expand the infamous Alcatraz prison. Yes, the same prison that shut down in the 1960s for being inhumane. But that's not all. The administration is negotiating with countries such as El Salvador — and now Rwanda — to house U.S. detainees abroad, including people with American citizenship. Right now, Rwanda is considering using dorms funded by British taxpayers to house migrants deported by the U.S. In El Salvador, the administration is already sending detainees to a mega prison condemned for human rights violations. Some were deported by mistake. The court said to bring them back, but the White House refused. What we're seeing is the outsourcing of incarceration, and it raises massive legal, ethical and constitutional red flags. This isn't just about immigration or crime — it's about whether American citizens, or anyone else, can be disappeared across borders without due process. Learn more about your ad choices.

Send us a textThis week, I offer you a barefoot sermon from the battlefield of economic memory. A walk from Hamilton to Trump. From Ricardo to Argentina. From Abraham Lincoln's top hat to the red-capped defiance of tariff diplomacy. A retelling of the American experiment through its most potent and most misunderstood weapon: the tariff.I argue here that Donald Trump, however clumsy and chaotic, reignited a long-dormant Hamiltonian flame. Like Lincoln before him, who used tariffs not only to industrialize the North but to bleed the profits from slavery's Southern engine, Trump reached for tariffs not as isolation, but as revolt. The goal was disruption of the quiet exploitation that still oils the gears of the global economy.We begin with Hamilton. In 1791, he laid the blueprint for industrial sovereignty. While Britain imagined America as a spice colony, exporting raw goods and importing refinement, Hamilton saw something else. He saw factories. Foundries. Credit. Fire. His tariffs were not walls, but scaffolds. They wrapped the infant industries of the North in protection until they could stand on their own.Then came Ricardo, bond guru, master of the ledger. He preached comparative advantage, but assumed capital stayed still. That the factory would never chase the lowest wage. That trade was neutral. That power did not intervene. Hamilton saw the flaw long before it became scripture. Ricardo's theory, elegant on paper, became a passport for colonial subjugation. Had America followed it, she might have become another Argentina. Rich in soil. Poor in ambition. Governed by landlords. Exporting the future in exchange for someone else's present.Build the factory. Raze the plantation. Lincoln saw it in cotton. Trump saw it in Asian factories. In both cases, the profit was buried in the poison, and each man, in his own era and fashion, had the rare courage to call it by its name.To strike slavery and build a more enduring republic, Lincoln and maybe Trump, did not reach first for cannonballs or proclamations but rather they reached for the balance sheet. They understood that if you make the ledgers bleed, the system follows. That is their courage.Hugh⬇️ Subscribe on Patreon or Substack for full episodes ⬇️https://www.patreon.com/HughHendryhttps://hughhendry.substack.comhttps://www.instagram.com/hughhendryofficialhttps://blancbleustbarts.comhttps://www.instagram.com/blancbleuofficial⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Leave a five star review and comment on Apple Podcasts!

How did Ireland go from a farming economy to the home of Big Tech and Big Pharma in Europe in a few decades? Why were women imprisoned in “Magdalene Laundries” in Ireland until 1996?

   While Donald Trump has everyone talking Tariffs and Elon and wars, he's quietly building something that could be his lasting legacy.... exporting the ideals that have led to American Exceptionalism.   It's taking root everywhere as Greenland votes for Independence.  Lets Make Earth Great Again!     Libs are losing work as elected officials, federal employees and members of the media.  We wondered all these years how they've stayed afloat and now one big closure has shut them all down.    Patrick Mahomes and Chris Jones rework their contracts to create millions in cap space for free agents.  West Virginia's football coach doesn't like his players dancing in tights, a tour caddy has the best day ever at the TPC Sawgrass and a rock star has to take a break for health reasons.

In this episode I share my exact framework for identifying profitable AI SaaS business opportunities by focusing on manual workflows that could be automated. We focus on export buttons and other manual processes in enterprise software as indicators of workflow breakdowns that AI could solve. The framework breaks down to solving niche problems, charging immediately for solutions, and focusing on quantifiable ROI.Timestamps:00:00 - Intro02:50 - The Export Button Theory of AI Opportunity04:03 - Step 1: Identifying Repetitive Pain Points08:31 - Step 2: Adding Intelligence to Manual Processes10:53 - Step 3: Identifying Data Silos that Need Bridging12:47 - Step 4: Finding Missing Connections Between Tools14:12 - Step 5: Start Small, Grow Naturally16:55 - Exploring Additional Manual Buttons for Startup Ideas19:03 - The QuickBooks Export Gold Mine20:43 - Your First 30 Days: Getting Started with Your AI SaaS Startup24:02 - Final Thoughts on AI Startup OpportunitiesKey Points:• The "Export Button Theory" - Every export button in software represents a business opportunity worth $10,000-30,000/month• Five-step framework for finding AI SaaS opportunities• Manual buttons in software (like "generate report," "schedule meeting," "upload CSV") represent AI automation opportunities1) The Export Button Theory of AI Opportunity Every time a user clicks "export" in software, they're signaling:• A workflow breakdown• Manual labor that could be automated• A potential $10-30K/month feature2) The 5-step framework for finding these opportunities:Step 1: Identify repetitive pain points Watch how people use enterprise software daily:• Exporting data to reformat it (Salesforce → Excel → PowerPoint)• Copying between tools (Jira → Slack)• Building the same reports weekly• Maintaining spreadsheets manually3) Step 2: Add intelligence to manual processes Every manual task is an LLM opportunity:• Turn Stripe exports into AI-powered revenue analysis ($50-100K MRR)• Convert CRM data into AI-formatted presentations ($80-120K MRR)• Generate sentiment trends from support tickets ($30-70K MRR)4) Step 3: Bridge data silos Look for phrases like:"I need to pull this data every week""I wish I could see this alongside that""We keep this in a separate spreadsheet"5) Step 4: Find missing connections between tools Watch for "I wish these two things worked together":• HR system + Payroll → AI opportunity: automatic sync with anomaly detection• CRM + Marketing automation → AI opportunity: bi-directional sync with AI prioritization6) Step 5: Start small, grow naturally The MOST successful AI SaaS businesses:• Pick a specific niche big players ignore• Focus on ONE painful workflow• Make it 10x better with AI• Let AI suggest next actions• Charge immediately (if solving real pain, people will pay day one) 7) Beyond the export button, look for these manual buttons in software:• "Generate Report" → AI opportunity: automatic insight generation ($2.5B market)• "Schedule Meeting" → AI opportunity: context-aware scheduling ($1.8B market)• "Upload CSV" → AI opportunity: intelligent data processing ($3.2B market)8) The QuickBooks goldmine • 250M financial reports exported annually• Each export = 45-90 mins of manual work• Value of time: $75-150 per export• Total addressable market: $12-18B annuallyThis is just ONE platform with massive opportunity!9)  Your first 30 days roadmap:Days 1-5: Select software with high export volume, research communitiesDays 6-10: Interview power users about export habitsDays 11-20: Build minimal prototype (using V0, Lovable, Bolt, etc.)Days 21-30: Get 3-5 PAYING beta usersNotable Quotes:"Every export button in software represents a business opportunity. When a user clicks export, what are they saying to us? They're basically saying this software doesn't do what I need to, so I'm taking my data elsewhere to do manual work.""The best AI opportunities aren't where everyone is looking. They're hiding in these mundane, repetitive tasks that knowledge workers are doing every single day."Want more free ideas?
