Scott talks with Cato Institute Senior Fellow Doug Bandow about an article he wrote recently for The American Conservative. Bandow gives his take on Biden’s trip to Saudi Arabia. He thinks the Saudis were purposefully disrespectful to the U.S. President and that Biden just took it. Bandow explains the ways Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman has been changing how Saudi Arabia oppresses its people — rolling back religious tyranny while expanding political tyranny. Finally, Scott and Bandow take a step back and examine the Biden Administration’s approach to the entire Middle East region, which Bandow says is really just a continuation of Trump’s policies. 

Discussed on the show:

“Joe Biden Grovels to the Saudis” (The American Conservative)

“Biden says he confronted Saudis directly on Khashoggi” (The Washington Post)

Doug Bandow is a senior fellow at the Cato Institute and a regular contributor at Forbes Magazine, the National Interest, Antiwar.com, and elsewhere. He’s on Twitter @Doug_Bandow.

The next step in the development of what would later become anarcho-capitalism was the radical one taken by Gustave de Molinari, in his essay “The Private Production of Security.” Molinari asked if the production of defense services, which even the classical liberals took for granted had to be carried out by the State, might be accomplished by private firms under market competition. Molinari made express reference to the insight we have been developing thus far, that society operates according to fixed, intelligible laws. If this is so, he said, then the provision of this service ought to be subject to the same laws of free competition that govern the production of all other goods. Wouldn’t the problems of monopoly exist with any monopoly, even the State’s that we have been conditioned to believe is unavoidable and benign?

On COI #305, Kyle Anzalone and Connor Freeman break down the latest news on Iran, the JCPOA, President Joe Biden’s Middle East trip, and the economic crisis facing Europe.

Connor discusses Biden’s trip to Israel where he signed a joint declaration with the Israeli Prime Minister committing the U.S. to use all of its “national power” to prevent Iran from gaining a nuclear weapon. Biden also said he would use force against Iran as a “last resort” and promised to kill the nuclear deal if Tehran demanded he remove the IRGC from the State Department’s Foreign Terrorist Organization blacklist. An adviser close to the Ayatollah Ali Khamenei also said Iran is not arming itself with a nuclear weapon, but made clear that his country has the technical means to build a bomb.

Kyle talks about the dispute between the Saudis, the Israelis, and Biden over whether or not steps toward normalization between Tel Aviv and Riyadh have begun taking place. The Saudis say this is not the case. Kyle also covers the economic threat facing European states regarding the EU ban on Russian energy and the possibility that Moscow cuts off oil and gas supplies to the continent, the IMF is warning deep recessions are coming.

One of the most incredible attributes of free markets is the ability to harmonize our self-interests with the interests of greater society. Contrary to the popular demonization of profits as extraction of surplus value, profits in freed markets actually represent the adding of value to society. Making a profit in free markets requires one to combine or transform some good(s) in such a way that its resulting configuration is valued more by the consumer than the cost of labor and original materials, including time, used to produce it.

Laurie Calhoun returns to the show to discuss her article "A MAD Heist" and Chapter 6 (Real Leaders) of her book "War and Delusion." In so doing, we dissect the insanity of the West's Ukraine policy from a critical lens, focusing on the psychology and underlying schools of thought behind each side's policies and how this relates to public reaction to the conflict and its fallout.

One need look no further than to the examples of North and South Korea or East and West Germany to see that the freer people are, the wealthier they can become through mutually beneficial voluntary exchange. These two controlled experiments, where mostly free markets competed against mostly state-controlled economies, have yielded an undeniable result: the more free, the more prosperous.
