In episode 21, Nick pays tribute to the great Roberto Clemente, followed by a discussion of Bob Dylan’s views on the media. He then examines three connected stories, beginning with a profile of Peter Boghossian, a now former Portland State University Philosophy Professor. Nick next highlights China’s leverage on elite institutions, using the World Bank as an example. He concludes with an analysis of how government policy, monetary policy, and radical environmental policy are converging to fuel inflation and product scarcity. And finally, Nick discusses the new title of his forthcoming book—Precipice.
