Scott is joined by Joseph Solis-Mullen to talk about China. They start with two articles Solis-Mullen published recently that examine the state of the economic war Washington is trying and failing to wage on Beijing along with the march towards a very real conventional war. They also take a step back and look at the precarious global situation we’re in, drawing connections to the outbreak of World War I and insights from libertarian theory.

“Washington Takes Another ‘L’ in China Policy” (Libertarian Institute)

“Washington is Sprinting (Not Sleepwalking) Into War With China” (Libertarian Institute)

“The Outbreak of World War I: A Libertarian Realist Rebuttal” (Mises.org)
