The Leighton Smith Podcast

On this week's podcast:
The very clever Jeffrey A. Tucker of Brownstone Institute returns to pick up from where we left off in podcast 129. We talk Inflation and the threat it is, the damage it can and will inflict, and what the Central Banks can do about it (essentially nothing).
Tucker also revisits the Covid plague, and discloses why Bill Gates is crazy.
And we visit the Mailroom, with all your correspondence.

Leadership is on our mind. Alternatively, lack of leadership.
It’s been suggested we need a present day Moses but the 40 years it took him to clear the desert is fractionally too long for us. Maybe the leadership needs to originate in us. Herd leadership maybe?Barry Brownstein, PhD, Professor emeritus of both Economics and Leadership addresses what’s missing and how it can be resolved.We ask whether the great New Zealand dream is dead. And we introduce you to speech “clamp”.And, finally, the Mailroom with Mrs Producer.
