The Sons Of History

With the recent passing of Walter Williams this past December, Dustin Bass and Alan Wakim discuss the lives of the two powerhouse economists, Thomas Sowell and Williams, and the impact they have made on them personally and on numerous generations. It can hardly be overstated the influence these two American legends have had on the modern view of economics, and even in the realm of social studies and philosophy. 

If you have never experienced Sowell or Williams, then we encourage you to purchase their works, watch their videos, and listen to their presentations...after watching this episode, of course.

What has taken place over the previous two weeks in the stock market has been nothing short of revolutionary.

We discuss the purpose behind the moves, the financial markets' response, and what the plan could be moving forward for future short squeezes.

When the Berlin Wall fell in 1989, it was the biggest visual of what would happen in two years: the end of the Soviet Union. America, however, had only increased in power.
