Episode: 1606 The Skycity: a concept struggling against its own Gothic weight.  Today, the skycity.

Record-breaking skyscrapers have a habit of opening just as the economy turns—a pattern Mark Thornton connected to Austrian business cycle theory in his work on the skyscraper curse. Lucas Engelhardt, Thornton's coauthor on the 2015 response to the curse's critics, explains the mechanism: artificially low interest rates raise land prices, and bid-rent theory shows why the effect concentrates downtown, precisely where towers get built. Add larger firms and cheap research and development to solve the engineering, and the record tower and the cyclical peak arrive together. He then works through the critics' statistical case and shows that their own results—including their finding that height and output move together—point the same way.Recorded at the Mises Institute in Auburn, Alabama, on July 24, 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.

In 1905, when Broadway was already the most famous thoroughfare in New York City, a recreational photographer from Newark, New Jersey named Charles Gilbert Hine set out to document the street's entire length. Taking pictures from downtown Bowling Green and its skyscrapers to uptown Inwood with its fields and wildflowers, Hine depicted a Broadway animated by the presence of the past and the relentless pressures of change. Through his lens appear shanties, brownstones and country houses; horse-drawn wagons and trolley cars; downtown sex workers and uptown famers. Hines' photographs lingered in the collection of the New York Historical until they were discovered by Nick Yablon, a professor of history and American Studies at the University of Iowa. Now they appear in Nick's new book, From the Skyscraper to the Wildflower: C.G. Hine's 1905 Photographic Survey of Broadway (Columbia University Press, 2026). Combining Hines' photographs with his own analysis, along with maps and other images, Nick has produced an illuminating book that depicts Broadway, its peoples, its buildings, and the many neighborhoods that Broadway traverses, at a distinct moment in time.

One minute we are arguing about whether National Hot Dog Day is even real, and the next Teddy Long is telling a road story that ends with White Castle making him so sick he cannot stop throwing up before a signing. That is the magic of Wrestling's Road Trip After Hours: it sounds like a casual hang, but it is packed with the kind of wrestling travel stories, backstage memories, and unfiltered opinions you only get from people who lived it.We bounce through fan questions on everything from action figures and the Skyscrapers to JBL calling Teddy “frugal” and the toll booth tricks that helped him dodge paying. Teddy also shares a terrifying moment where Dan Spivey wakes him up just in time to avoid sliding under an 18 wheeler, with Mac adding his own modern version from the independent wrestling road. If you love classic WCW, WWF, and WWE stories, this one delivers real detail and real stakes.Then we get into the bigger wrestling debate: does the WWE product feel better now, or did Vince McMahon understand story, pacing, and the wrestling fan in a way that is missing today? We connect that to ticket prices, what feels overly polished, and why respect for the business still matters. Along the way we hit Dark Side of the Ring, social media confusion, music tastes, Rhea Ripley talk, Rocky King memories, and a final dinosaur question that somehow makes perfect sense at the end of the night.Subscribe for more live Wednesday hangs, share this with a friend who loves wrestling stories, and leave a review so more fans can find us.

"Real AI is way more about how you do change management than picking the right technology."That is Dr. Sarah Buchner, founder and CEO of Trunk Tools, on this week's Bricks, Bucks & Bytes.A year on from her $40M Series B, she joined the roundtable to explain why the hardest part of construction AI is not the model. It is getting people to trust it.✅ Why Trunk Tools will not sell you agents unless you let them train your team first✅ The shift from point solution to a "system of action" that sits on top of Procore and Autodesk✅ Why a new AI takeoff startup seems to launch every week, and why most break on the last 20%✅ Her blunt line on vibe coded tools: "Don't come on the market with something that Claude can already do."Plus: a structural engineer breaks down the Midtown column buckling, and SubBase's Eric Helitzer on why a fintech led his $7M Series A.

On Tuesday morning, something potentially very scary happened in New York City. Images of buckling steel beams at the former Pfizer headquarters led to a large evacuation in midtown Manhattan.

Marjorie Taylor Greene brings her McConnell and AIPAC claims to The View, which gives Hawk an opening on a subject close to him: the roughly $60 million AIPAC has poured into congressional races this cycle, Miriam Adelson's spending against Thomas Massie over the Epstein Files Transparency Act, and where that leaves both parties. George Conway flatly calls Donald Trump an adjudicated rapist, pointing to the E. Jean Carroll verdict, while CNN's Harry Enton lays out a Democratic primary turnout edge heading toward the midterms and the fight for the House and Senate. Hawk closes on a construction skyscraper buckling at 235 East 42nd Street in Midtown Manhattan, renewed U.S. airstrikes on Iran described as punitive, and thoughts for the family of Nolan Xavier Wells, who have retained attorney Benjamin Crump.

Manchester United's €85 million gamble on Benjamin Šeško looked like a slow burn under Ruben Amorim, but the arrival of Michael Carrick completely flipped the script.

Did you know that medieval Bologna, Italy, was once packed with towering skyscrapers? Back in the 12th and 13th centuries, the city had nearly 100 tall, narrow towers built by wealthy families as both status symbols and defensive structures. These towers dominated the skyline, with the tallest reaching over 300 feet high! Today, only about 20 towers remain, with the iconic Asinelli and Garisenda towers standing as symbols of Bologna's rich history.

The first North Dakota capitol building was completed in 1894, five years after statehood. It was destroyed by fire in the early hours of December 28, 1930. The state wasted no time beginning work on a new capitol, even selling off 160 acres of the capitol grounds to help fund construction.

Mark Thornton opens this episode with a strategic assessment of the war's economic fallout: not the headlines, but the second- and third-order effects that are only now becoming visible. Oil production facilities across the Gulf have been destroyed, disrupted, or shut down, and restarting them is not a matter of flipping a switch. Some older wells will need to be redrilled entirely. Meanwhile, the disruption to fertilizer production threatens the next crop season and potentially longer-term food prices worldwideMark also provides a skyscraper curse update: the Jeddah Tower, once expected to reach record height in early 2027, has been pushed further out as Saudi finances and Gulf logistics are redirected toward reconstruction. The commodity super cycle thesis, he argues, remains fully intact despite the gold correction.The second half features a detailed interview from Palisades Gold Radio in which Mark unpacks these themes further, covering the Austrian micro approach versus the Keynesian macro framework, why the stock market can hit all-time highs while the real economy deteriorates, and why the world is slowly but steadily moving back toward commodity money.2026 is the Year of Rothbard—Murray's 100th birthday—and we're celebrating by giving away free copies of Anatomy of the State through May 31.
