One morning in August 1980, the noise of 10,000 shipyard workers suddenly stopped. Something extraordinary was happening. As a young shipbuilding student, Bogdan finds himself inside Gdańsk's Lenin Shipyard as workers down tools and the movement that will become Solidarity begins to take shape. What follows is a remarkable journey through the final decade of communist Poland. Bogdan recalls student occupation strikes, the shock of martial law, encounters with riot police, and his unconventional escape from military conscription by becoming a teacher. He describes his first intoxicating glimpse of the West in Vienna and West Berlin, where two worlds exist just metres apart across the Berlin Wall. Then, in the summer of 1989, Bogdan and his wife board a flight for Canada with borrowed money, a few possessions and no certainty about what comes next. This is a deeply personal story of resistance, freedom and starting again.

The September 23, 2026, broadcast of the Closing Market Report, hosted by Todd Gleason on Illinois Public Media, covers regional harvest progress, national agricultural policy, and global weather patterns. Greg Johnson of TGM Total Grain Marketing opens the program with a market update, noting that farmers are waiting for corn to dry down naturally in the fields before harvest activity increases. He also discusses how grain markets are currently trading sideways as they await potential news from an upcoming meeting between Presidents Trump and Xi. The broadcast then features an excerpt from a National Association of Farm Broadcasting panel with Ethan Lane, Rob Brenneman, and Geoff Cooper. The panelists discuss their expectations for the Trump-Xi meeting, caution against the unintended consequences of potentially banning U.S. diesel exports, and advocate for free-market principles over government intervention in the agricultural supply chain. Finally, meteorologist Drew Lerner of World Weather Inc. provides an update on global crop weather, highlighting upcoming rainfall that should benefit U.S. winter wheat regions, favorable early planting conditions in Brazil, and an extended period of heat and dryness in Australia driven by El Niño. Throughout the program, Gleason also appeals for listener financial support during the station's fall fund drive; 217-244-9455 or willgive.org to donate.01:17 Ag Markets with Greg Johnson, TGM Total Grain Marketing09:34 Trump, Xi, Fuel, Free Trade, and Socialism20:51 Ag Weather with Drew Lerner, World Weather Inc ★ Support this podcast ★

Several Washington, DC insiders say there is no interest in removing US President Trump's unfair tariffs on Canada by Democrats or Republicans alike, and the outcome of the US midterm elections won't change anything about the recent destruction of US-Canada trade relations. So, many news commentators are wrong with the naive “hot take” that Prime Minister Mark Carney's trade deal strides with European nations won't help Canada much after Democrats dominate the US midterms.Tune into Episode 519 of The Bill Kelly Podcast for daily news updates.This daily news update was recorded on September 18, 2026.WATCH THIS EPISODE and subscribe to our YouTube channel: https://youtu.be/i7q6gsd1Lao

Tariffs, trade uncertainty, and changing global supply chains are once again shaking up Canada's solar industry—but if you've spent enough time in solar, unpredictability is nothing new. Chris is joined by Rob Milliken, Vice President of Business Development at Charge Solar, who brings 25 years of experience riding the “solar coaster.” They break down what tariffs and changing trade policies mean for solar equipment, pricing, installers, and ultimately Canadian homeowners and businesses—and why an industry built on constant change knows how to adapt.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Andrew Hale, senior fellow at Advancing American Freedom, discusses the fracturing of American conservatism and the rise of post-liberalism within the Republican Party. He examines the ideological tensions between traditional free-market conservatives and the emerging nationalist-protectionist wing represented by figures like JD Vance, exploring how Catholic integralism and economic populism are reshaping the Right. Hale defends classical liberal principles while analyzing the political forces driving America's shift away from the post-Cold War consensus on trade, markets, and global leadership.This episode is produced in partnership with the New North America Initiative at the School of Public Policy at the University of Calgary. From the shifting ideologies of the new Right and the new Left in the U.S., this multi-month series will bring Canadians inside debates on trade, globalization, and power that are likely to shape America's policy direction—and Canada's interests—for the years and decades to come.The New North America Initiative is generously funded in part by the Government of Alberta.Learn more about the initiative: https://newnorthamerica.org.The views, thoughts, and opinions expressed in this multimedia content do not necessarily represent those of the New North America Initiative, the School of Public Policy, or the University of Calgary.

Get access to The Backroom (100+ exclusive episodes of 1Dime Radio) on Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/OneDimeIn this episode of 1Dime Radio, I am joined by Peter Ryan, founder of Ryan Research, to recover a forgotten tradition of political economy that refuses the usual choice between Marxism and free-market liberalism. We contrast Karl Marx with Friedrich List and Matthew and Henry Carey, trace economic nationalism from the American System to MMT and Ha-Joon Chang, and ask whether national sovereignty, protectionism, and state capacity offer a more practical path to development and anti-imperialism.In The Backroom, the Patreon-exclusive segment, we expand this conversation across three additional episodes with Peter Ryan. We discuss nationalist internationalism and Arnold Toynbee's theory of civilizational cycles; Henry Carey, rentierism, Marxism, and the Irish struggle for national liberation; and, in a nearly three-hour finale, the post-left/post-right convergence, the moral limits of markets, immigration, industrial policy, class coalitions, empire, and whether any populist project can escape establishment capture.You can listen to 1Dime Radio on Spotify, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get podcasts.Timestamps:0:00 The Backroom Preview: Nationalism Against Imperialism3:52 1Dime Radio Intro4:50 Peter Ryan and the Forgotten Economic Tradition15:07 Karl Marx Versus Friedrich List22:57 MMT and the Forgotten History of Monetary Sovereignty34:05 Beyond Libertarianism: Why State Capacity Matters46:43 Who Controls the State?57:02 Friedrich List and the Carey School1:07:26 War, Industry, and America's Protectionist Turn1:15:50 Matthew and Henry Carey1:27:27 Henry Carey, Lincoln, and Marx1:34:06 Nationalist Internationalism and The BackroomGUEST:Peter Ryan is the founder of Ryan Research, where he writes and consults on economics, history, technology, and business strategy.

What kind of leadership does Canada need—and what kind of country are we trying to build?On this episode of The Brian Crombie Hour, Brian brings together three major themes: leadership, Canada's economic future and the meaning of sovereignty in a changing relationship with the United States.Brian examines why leadership is about more than confidence and charisma—it requires listening, difficult decisions, problem solving and, above all, the ability to turn vision into execution.He then looks at Canada's future in a world being transformed by artificial intelligence, geopolitics, energy security, defence, demographic change and fractured supply chains. Canada has enormous advantages, but realizing them will require greater economic, digital and energy sovereignty—and the ability to actually build companies, infrastructure, housing, technology, pipelines, ports and major projects.Finally, Brian revisits the Canada-U.S. Free Trade debate and a question that has become increasingly relevant nearly four decades later: When does economic integration become dependence?The answer isn't less America—it's more world. More markets. More Canadian ownership. More infrastructure. More energy capacity. More technology. More internal trade. And more resilience.Integration created enormous prosperity. Dependence was the mistake.The episode leaves Canadians with one defining question:Do we have the leadership, confidence and courage to build the Canada this moment requires?

Entering an economic war isn't your typical Friday night activity. But according to PM Mark Carney, it was necessary after the last 18 months of US President Trump. Not only did Carney suspend all negotiations with the US, he also announced dollar-for-dollar retaliatory tariffs on US goods in response to the latest round of tariffs Trump placed on $28 billion worth of Canadian goods.   Host Caryn Ceolin speaks to Lori Turnbull, political science professor from Dalhousie University to break down the latest update in the Canada-US trade war, what kind of response from Trump Canadians should expect, and how Canadians are interpreting Carney's act of defiance.  We love feedback at The Big Story, as well as suggestions for future episodes.

Padraic Scanlan — Multi-Part, Part Two: Padraic Scanlan examines the British government's response to the Great Famine, highlighting how ideological commitments to free trade and to civilizing the poor exacerbated the tragedy. Prime Minister Robert Peel initially attempted relief through public works projects and the secret importation of American maize, known as Indian corn. However, these measures were designed as an employer of last resort, offering wages lower than the lowest private pay to avoid distorting market dynamics. Other officials, such as the Duke of Wellington, remained skeptical of the crisis, viewing reports of mass starvation as political exaggerations by Irish repealers seeking independence. Scanlan details the punitive nature of the New Poor Law, which mandated that relief be provided primarily through workhouses designed to be more miserable than the worst outside conditions. Although the Temporary Relief Act of 1847 eventually allowed for soup kitchens, the experience remained humiliating; the celebrity chef Alexis Soyer's model kitchen in Dublin gave starving people only six minutes to eat. Beyond inadequate food, the peasantry faced deroofing, a practice in which bailiffs pulled the thatch off cottages during evictions to ensure they remained uninhabitable. This systematic displacement, combined with the lack of circulating cash, fueled a volatile environment of outrages and state coercion. Ultimately, the famine led to a 20 to 25 percent decline in the Irish population and remains a central, formative event for the global Irish diaspora. (2)

Welcome to Episode 222 of The Spokesman Speaks podcast. In this episode, we explore both sides of the free trade and tariffs debate that has captured news headlines and ag policy discussions in recent years, with Dr. Sam Gregg of the American Institute for Economic Research and Ambassador Bob Lighthizer, who was the former U.S. Trade Representative under President Trump. Resources mentioned in this episode Join Farm Bureau at the Iowa State Fair.

Almost no one in the last several decades has done more to change the American approach to trade than Robert Lighthizer. Lighthizer was the U.S. trade representative in President Donald Trump's first term. In that role, he set out to reverse Washington's long-standing commitment to a global trading system. It was a crusade—using tariffs, among other tools—that targeted China above all but also any other country that, as he saw it, benefited from that system at the expense of the United States. Lighthizer recently laid out his vision for a new trade order in Foreign Affairs. With Trump levying tariffs and wielding American economic power against both allies and adversaries, Lighthizer argues that the free trade system should be thrown out, replaced with one that is more balanced, sovereign, and transparent. Dan Kurtz-Phelan spoke with Lighthizer on the sidelines of the Aspen Security Forum on Wednesday, July 15. You can find sources, transcripts, and more episodes of The Foreign Affairs Interview at https://www.foreignaffairs.com/podcasts/foreign-affairs-interview.

On this episode of The Karol Markowicz Show, Karol sits down with legendary economist and libertarian scholar Dr. Walter Block for a wide-ranging conversation on economics, socialism, Israel, free markets, and the future of America. Block explains why basic economic principles have become so controversial, reflects on his intellectual journey from socialism to libertarianism, and shares how Ayn Rand's Atlas Shrugged and Henry Hazlitt's Economics in One Lesson completely changed his worldview. The discussion also explores the political shift in New York City, the growing popularity of socialist ideas among younger Americans, the debate over Israel within libertarian circles, and whether lasting peace in the Middle East is finally within reach.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

In this episode from 2025, Matt Bufton speaks with Don Boudreaux about tariffs, free trade, and the economic misunderstandings that drive protectionist policies. Don critiques the balance of trade doctrine, drawing from historical examples and economic theory to explain why tariffs harm both consumers and producers. The discussion covers the impact of tariffs on the U.S. and Canada, how politicians exploit economic misconceptions, and why a policy of unilateral free trade would be the best path forward.

Economists have agreed on free trade for two centuries; the public and the politicians haven't caught up. Lucas Engelhardt rebuilds the case from scratch—mutual benefit, comparative advantage, and the simple point that drawing a border between two traders destroys none of the gains—then takes apart the arguments for tariffs one by one. Most timely is his treatment of trade deficits: following Mises, he shows a deficit isn't a "loss" but the natural result of Americans choosing goods over cash, and explains why "Liberation Day" tariffs actually made the deficit spike.Recorded at the Mises Institute in Auburn, Alabama, on July 21, 2026.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.

Maybe India said it better than we did. But to be clear, here is what India says: the 5000 Kiwi visas as part of our FTA are about "mobility, not migration". Immigration and mobility of skilled manpower are two different issues altogether. Chief stirrer Winston Peters claims the Indians were not aware of the limits placed on temporary visas – it would appear he is wrong. Time will prove the other issue wrong, which is this petty, little scrap over the $20 billion investment. For a country who is famous for free trade, what a sad and sorry old tale it has been to watch the latest version unfold. It quite possibly is a reflection of the times in which we live, where a stand must be taken and the stand must be black or white, up or down, right or wrong. Nuance is no longer a currency. Even Chris Hipkins, who should be proud of the history of his own party's role in free trade, couldn't help himself with his eyes-wide-open comments the day after the deal was signed. The deal he was dragged kicking and screaming into supporting, despite the fact anyone with their head screwed on really couldn't object. Free trade, lest we forget, and some clearly have, is about good will. It's not a con and it's not a scam. You are not looking to get one over the person you have just done a deal with – you're on the same team. Having negotiated around your differences, in this case dairy, you want the best for each other. You want to grow and prosper. You are looking to the other side to help you out. Yet in the India FTA, like nothing I have seen before, a queue quickly formed full of people looking to pick holes, to make stories up, to confuse and misdirect, or to just be straight up and down racist. In a world where Trump in particular is trying to destabilise the order of business, you would have hoped this one sailed through and that it would've got a bit more patriotism behind it than it did. This as a nation is what we do. Free trade is our calling card. What a weird old thing – we have among us so many who would rather watch us, and possibly revel, in our failure.

Today we're talking about the July 1 review of the United States Mexico Canada Agreement, better known as USMCA, and what it means for anyone developing or constructing buildings in North America.Leading up to July 1, the public conversation made the date sound like a cliff. Either the agreement would be renewed for another sixteen years, or it would somehow vanish overnight. That was never the actual mechanism. USMCA entered into force on July 1, 2020. The agreement has a sixteen-year term, which takes it to 2036. The six-year review was a decision point, not an expiration date. Because the three countries did not unanimously extend it, the agreement remains in force and now moves into annual reviews.The important point is that continuity and certainty are not the same thing. The legal framework survives. Goods that satisfy the agreement's rules of origin can continue to receive preferential treatment. But businesses no longer have a fresh sixteen-year runway. They now face a recurring political checkpoint, with the possibility of changes being negotiated every year.For the construction industry, that distinction matters. Construction is a long-cycle business. A development conceived today may not buy structural steel, electrical gear, windows, elevators, HVAC equipment, or finish materials for two or three years. A manufacturer deciding where to build a plant may be making a twenty-year decision. Annual trade reviews introduce a mismatch between short political cycles and long capital commitments.-------------**Real Estate Espresso Podcast:** Spotify: [The Real Estate Espresso Podcast](https://open.spotify.com/show/3GvtwRmTq4r3es8cbw8jW0?si=c75ea506a6694ef1)   iTunes: [The Real Estate Espresso Podcast](https://podcasts.apple.com/ca/podcast/the-real-estate-espresso-podcast/id1340482613)   Website: [www.victorjm.com](http://www.victorjm.com)   LinkedIn: [Victor Menasce](http://www.linkedin.com/in/vmenasce)   YouTube: [The Real Estate Espresso Podcast](http://www.youtube.com/@victorjmenasce6734)   Facebook: [www.facebook.com/realestateespresso](http://www.facebook.com/realestateespresso)   Email: [podcast@victorjm.com](mailto:podcast@victorjm.com)  **Y Street Capital:** Website: [www.ystreetcapital.com](http://www.ystreetcapital.com)   Facebook: [www.facebook.com/YStreetCapital](https://www.facebook.com/YStreetCapital)   Instagram: [@ystreetcapital](http://www.instagram.com/ystreetcapital)

Free trade was never actually free? That's the case Katherine Tai, Joe Biden's former U.S. Trade Representative, brings Bethany McLean and Luigi Zingales this week.  For decades, the economic consensus treated free trade as an engine for cheaper goods and faster growth. But, Tai argues, this system actually relies on ignored externalities, allowing multinational corporations to reap the benefits of zero regulation while workers and the environment absorb the costs. Zingales goes further, arguing the whole system isn't free trade at all, but something he calls “captured trade”. So who exactly is that trade free for and what exactly is it free from? Tai walks through the hidden machinery most people never see, and what she calls a plan for a worker-centered trade policy. Connect with us:

China was long planned to be brought up to be the policeman of the world. Talked about in the Royal Institute of International Affairs (RIIA, Chatham House) meeting in Australia in 1937. Don't be caught in the traps and landmines of carnival barkers who keep you running in circles. Alan Watt and Vyzygoth talk about how old this system is, and Karl Marx, Communism, Free Trade, setting up China to prosper and take over from the West.

India's growth numbers shape how we understand everything from jobs to investment to global standing. But what if those numbers don't tell the full story?  New research suggests India may have both underestimated and overestimated growth at different moments over the past two decades. That insight opens the door to a broader conversation about India's macroeconomic choices, from exchange rate policy to electricity pricing to the quiet persistence of trade barriers. To discuss these issues and many more, Abhishek Anand joins Milan on the podcast this week. Abhishek is the Founder and Managing Director of Insignia Policy Research and a Visiting Fellow at the Madras Institute of Development Studies. He's previously worked as an Economist at the World Bank and was a member of the Indian Economic Service, working in key positions throughout the Indian Ministry of Finance. Together, with Arvind Subramanian and Josh Felman, Abhishek is the author of a new working paper published by the Peterson Institute for International Economics titled “India's 20 Years of GDP Misestimation: New Evidence.”  Abhishek and Milan discuss the controversy over India's GDP estimates, important reforms within India's statistics ministry, and the debate over the Reserve Bank of India's policies to defend the rupee. Plus, the two discuss Abhishek's work on power sector reform and the embrace of non-tariff barriers that stymie the spirit of India's new bilateral trade agreements.

At the heart of the fiercest international conflicts is the struggle for the future of globalization. In the wake of a pandemic that tested economies and societies, geopolitical conflict has taken on a new intensity. The Rest and the West: Capital and Power in a Multipolar World (Verso, 2024) locates the origins of this development in the turbulent dynamics of the capitalist world market. Rather than reducing global conflict to a matter of great power rivalries or the process of economic decoupling, Sandro Mezzadra and Brett Neilson investigate the increasing centrality of war to capital operations and to the transformation of capitalism. The goal is to forge a theory of imperialism adequate to a world in which the ‘rest' no longer provides a putative unity that defines and opposes the ‘West'. Brett Neilson is professor and deputy director at the Institute for Culture and Society, Western Sydney University. In the last decade, his work has centered on issues of migration, borders, and globalization, logistics and digitalization, contemporary capitalism, geopolitics, and automation. Apart from writings with Sandro Mezzadra, he has published many articles and books, including Free Trade in the Bermuda Triangle … and Other Tales of Counterglobalization (Minnesota, 2004). Morteza Hajizadeh is a Ph.D. graduate in English from the University of Auckland in New Zealand. His research interests are Cultural Studies; Critical Theory; Environmental History; Medieval (Intellectual) History; Gothic Studies; 18th and 19th Century British Literature.

In this episode of Impact Farming, Tracy sits down with agricultural economist and strategist Michelle Klieger to unpack a question many producers are quietly asking: Can U.S. soybeans still compete in the global market? As farmers head into another planting season facing tight margins, uncertain demand, and rising costs, the global soybean market continues to shift. From China's buying decisions to the growing influence of Brazil, the competitive landscape is changing rapidly. Michelle shares insights from her recent article on the "Brazil Factor" and explores what's really driving global soybean competitiveness—and what it means for producers in North America. Episode Highlights • Why global demand—especially from China—remains a key driver for soybean markets • How geopolitics and trade negotiations are affecting farm families and rural economies • The rise of Brazil as a global agricultural powerhouse • The role of land costs, seed pricing, and regulation in shaping global competitiveness • How Brazil's ability to expand farmland and double crop gives it an edge • Why U.S. farmers may need a different strategy to stay competitive • Key signals producers should watch as global soybean markets evolve Global agriculture is evolving quickly, and the soybean market is a powerful example of how economics, geopolitics, and innovation intersect. As Brazil continues to expand production and global trade dynamics shift, producers in North America face new challenges—but also opportunities. Understanding the forces shaping global markets can help farmers make informed decisions and remain competitive in a rapidly changing agricultural landscape.

The deadline to renew the United States-Mexico-Canada Agreement – the agreement that governs free trade in North America, also known as the USMCA – is less than three months away. Canada and Mexico are coming to these trade talks from very different positions: Mexico has been deep in technical discussions for some time, whereas Canada's talks with the U.S. only resumed over the last few months after stalling out back in October. The Globe's economics reporter, Mark Rendell, joins us today to break down the different dynamics at play and what to expect leading up to July 1. Questions? Comments? Ideas?

India and the European Union have signed a massive trade deal that will account for a quarter of the world's GDP. This follows another deal struck by the EU with Latin American countries this month. Also, Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sanchez wants to fast-track residency for hundreds of thousands of immigrants. And, US threats to take control of Greenland have rattled Europe's far-right leaders, some of President Trump's staunchest allies.

With the year coming to a close, we're sharing our most popular Planet Money bonus episode of 2025! As U.S. trade with China exploded in the early 2000's, American manufacturing began to shrivel. Those workers struggled to adapt and find new jobs. It ran counter to how mainstream economics at the time viewed free trade ... that it would be a clear win for the U.S. Greg Rosalsky talks with David Autor about why economists got free trade with China so wrong.  Autor, an MIT economics professor, and his colleagues published a series of eye-opening studies over the last 15 years or so that brought to light the costs of U.S. trade with China. We also hear Autor's thoughts on the role of tariffs and get an update on his research. With better, more precise data, Autor says we have a more nuanced and "bleaker" picture of what happened to these manufacturing workers. You can read about Autor's research and sign up for The Planet Money Newsletter here. To hear more bonus content like this and support NPR and public media, sign up for Planet Money+ in Apple Podcasts or at plus.npr.org/planetmoney.
