Many think fiat currencies were created in a dark basement somewhere by evil bankers. But according to Dror Goldberg, author of the soon to be released book, "Easy Money: American Puritans and the Invention of Modern Currency", the history of fiat is a bit more complicated. In this special opisode of the L&L podcast Lucas interviews Dror about this interesting book. Anyone whose interested in puritan history and currencies should really check out this book!

James Lindsay made a shocking claim: Christian Nationalists are paid actors by Marxists to destroy the constitution? Check out our breakdown of the James Lindsay wacko claim.

What sort of government would make a nation the best it could be? Should we aim for some sort of libertarian vision that limits the size of government and let's everyone sort of live how they want? Or should the government seek to shape the morals and culture in a way that makes everyone better? In other words, should we follow Ron Paul (libertarian) or Doug Wilson (a Christian nationalist)? Interesting discussion all along.

Did the United States start off as a Christian Nationalist nation? Was it a nation at all? We discuss this and many other topics related to Christian nationalism in this week's episode.

Today we talk about Christian Nationalism and why an increasing number of people are supporting the idea of building a nation based on the principles of Christian morality and law. We discuss this along with other views of political theory including libertarianism, communism, and other forms of nationalism. Good discussion.

Bitcoin, Gold-backed dollars, or un-backed fiat? That is the question of today's episode. We invited our Bitcoin enthusiast friend Jonah to join us to take the pro-Bitcoin position, Lewis will argue for Gold and Lucas will "shill" for fiat. A great discussion all around.

In today's episode, we talk about the Norfolk Southern train wreck and chemical spill in East Palestine Ohio as a symptom of a broader systemic problem related to the modern corporation. We talk about how laws regarding limited liability have built up large corporations that are incentivized to take risks with the public safety, the environment, and to push moral boundaries.
