Michael McFaul reflects on the collapse of the Soviet Union, recalling his time in Moscow in 1991 when he witnessed the transition from Gorbachev's reforms to Yeltsin's revolutionary phase. He argues that while the United States rightly supported Yeltsin, policymakers were too complacent, assuming democracy would consolidate organically without significant external investment. This "end of history" mentality led to a lack of political and economic support during Russia's vulnerable early years of independence. McFaul notes that failing to provide robust assistance to liberal reformers allowed for the eventual rise of Vladimir Putin. (3)1906

Episode Summary: In this episode, Mark Holthe and Alicia Backman-Beharry continue their series on major Express Entry reforms expected in Canada. They examine IRCC's own data on Express Entry outcomes, why Canada is still proposing major reforms to a system that appears to be working, and how high wages, job offers, Canadian experience, French language ability, category-based draws, and immigration levels could reshape future permanent residence strategies. Key Topics Discussed IRCC data on Express Entry outcomes High-wage Canadian work experience and job offers Immigration levels and temporary resident reductions Why Express Entry reforms are being proposed Key Takeaways Express Entry applicants generally have strong employment, wage, and occupation-match outcomes. IRCC appears to be recalibrating the system toward high-wage earners and stronger economic predictors. Reduced temporary resident and permanent resident targets are making PR planning more competitive. Applicants should reassess CRS strategies that rely on bonus points, occupation categories, French, Canadian education, and timing. Quotes from the Episode: Mark Holthe: “Does my current CRS strategy, the factors I'm counting on, the timing I've planned, the profile I've built still make sense under a system being recalibrated toward high-wage earnings?” Alicia Backman-Beharry: “They are changing things not because they don't work, not because they're broken, but because they want to make it better.” Links and Resources Watch this episode on YouTube Canadian Immigration Podcast Book a consult Enroll in the Express Entry Accelerator and Masterclass Subscribe for MoreStay up-to-date with the latest in Canadian immigration by subscribing to the Canadian Immigration Podcast on iTunes, Spotify, or YouTube.

Episode Summary: In this episode, Mark Holthe and Alicia Backman-Beharry launch a new series on major Express Entry reforms expected in Canada. They explain how Express Entry works, why it is not a permanent residence program itself, what applicants need to understand about the current system, and how upcoming changes to CRS points, category-based draws, and program structures could affect future permanent residence strategies. Key Topics Discussed Express Entry basics Federal Skilled Worker, Canadian Experience Class, and Federal Skilled Trades CRS score factors Upcoming Express Entry reforms Key Takeaways Express Entry is a system for managing economic immigration applications, not a program itself. Being in the Express Entry pool does not guarantee an invitation to apply. Canadian Experience Class and category-based draws are currently playing a major role. Upcoming reforms could significantly change how CRS points are awarded. Quotes from the Episode: Mark Holthe: “There's nothing more important than knowing what's coming and then doing what you can to increase your chances of success.” Alicia Backman-Beharry: “What people do right now is going to impact whether their profile is one that has a chance in the future.” Links and Resources Watch this episode on YouTube Canadian Immigration Podcast Book a consult Enroll in the Express Entry Accelerator and Masterclass Subscribe for MoreStay up-to-date with the latest in Canadian immigration by subscribing to the Canadian Immigration Podcast on iTunes, Spotify, or YouTube.

Welcome back all! This month we are joined by Fr Conor McDonough OP, an exceptional Research Ireland funded PhD researcher in Classics, University of Galway. Conor elucidates the variety of religious life in the Middle Ages focussing on the new religious orders introduced as part of wider church reforms in the 11th and 12th centuries. This episode touches on a number of big themes such as the conflict between 'church and state', colonisation, language, ethnicity, patronage, and decline. What is the difference between a monk and a priest? Why were there two Cathedrals in Dublin? Why did the Cistercians in Ireland build a 'fortress against God'? Did the Irish prefer living in 'nests' rather than stone buildings? Conor answers all of these questions and much more. We learn all about the new international networks of the Cluniacs, Cistercians, Augustinians, Premonstratensians, the Rule of Benedict, drama at Mellifont, bishops as barons, the Anglo-Norman Conquest and the appeal of religious life.

The Capitalism and Freedom in the Twenty-First Century Podcast
Jon Hartley and Sebastian Edwards discuss Edward's time at the University of Chicago as a PhD student in the time of Milton Friedman and the Chicago School, Chile's market reforms and the Chicago Boys (documented in Sebastian's most recent book, The Chile Project: The Story of the Chicago Boys and the Downfall of Neoliberalism), Javier Milei and Argentina's prospects of reversal, renewed hope for Venezuela, and whether economic freedom and market reforms have returned. Recorded on May 7, 2026. ABOUT THE SERIES Each episode of Capitalism and Freedom in the 21st Century, a video podcast series and the official podcast of the Hoover Economic Policy Working Group, focuses on getting into the weeds of economics, finance, and public policy on important current topics through one-on-one interviews. Host Jon Hartley asks guests about their main ideas and contributions to academic research and policy. The podcast is titled after Milton Friedman‘s famous 1962 bestselling book Capitalism and Freedom, which after 60 years, remains prescient from its focus on various topics which are now at the forefront of economic debates, such as monetary policy and inflation, fiscal policy, occupational licensing, education vouchers, income share agreements, the distribution of income, and negative income taxes, among many other topics.

In this episode of Arise + Abide, Sally and Curtis read and reflect on 2 Chronicles 31, where the joy of Passover leads the people of Judah into renewed worship, repentance, and generosity. After celebrating together, the people return home and immediately tear down the idols, shrines, and altars that had drawn their hearts away from the Lord. Their worship becomes more than a festival moment; it becomes a wholehearted turning back to God. As Hezekiah reorganizes the priests and Levites and calls the people to support the work of the temple, the people respond with overwhelming generosity. Their gifts pile up in abundance, showing the blessing and provision of God among a people united in worship. Sally and Curtis discuss how God's abundance often results in "more than enough," and how true worship costs something: old habits, misplaced trust, personal resources, and daily surrender. This chapter gives a beautiful picture of revival, unity, faithful leadership, and wholehearted devotion. Hezekiah's success is not merely political or material; his success is seen in pointing the people back to their true King, the Lord their God.
Drawing on his time in Moscow during the early 1990s, Michael McFaul describes the revolutionary transition from Gorbachev's reforms to the radicalism of the Yeltsin era. He highlights the unprecedented uncertainty of the Soviet collapse and the subsequent failure of the West to invest in Russia's democratic consolidation. McFaul notes that the 1992 U.S. election's focus on domestic issues distracted from providing critical political and economic assistance. Unlike the post-WWII era, the lack of a perceived external threat led to complacency about the "end of history." He stresses that supporting institutional demand for democracy is vital for long-term stability. (3/8)1900 BRUSSELS
