Getting into yet again another tangled subject, in episode 10 of Inspired By Fire we analyze the human condition, poverty. The human ability to escape it through free markets and how the state has the legal ability to route the evolution of the economy for its own benefit. 

Most have been taught that the state saved capitalism from itself using progressive law but this couldn't be further from the truth. History actually shows this to be the time of connection between corporation and big government cartelizing industries to further imperial interests at home and abroad, the antitheses of free market capitalism.

Too many have voluntarism, capitalism and free markets confused with "cronyism" and "mercantilism" which are more appropriate terms for the way the United States and many other governments in the world are run. 

In this episode I want to shed a bit of light on how the blame is in the wrong place. Hollywood movies and the corporate press project an image that business and entrepreneurship is the root of all evil, when actually it's state policy that is the red thread that runs through the many aspects of unnecessary suffering in the world.
