Debt can crush a person, but it can also burn a nation to the ground. The early banks of the United States held the seeds of their own destruction but they created the foundations of national finance we use today. What was Hamilton's vision of a national monetary system? Was it a blessing or a curse?

Thom Shanker has been on the ground covering global conflict for over a decade. From Bosnia and Afghanistan to Iraq, he has seen how armies fight battles but politicians end wars. He reminds us of the responsibility that journalists have to democracy and gives us a window into covering atrocity while remaining human.Mr. Shanker is co-author of “Counterstrike: The Untold Story of America’s Secret Campaign Against Al Qaeda,” published in August 2011 by Henry Holt & Co. The book became a New York Times best seller. His new book, "Age of Danger: Keeping America Safe in an Era of New Superpowers, New Weapons, and New Threats," was published May 9, 2023, which received positive reviews and comments in The New York Times and Foreign Affairs, among other publications.This episode was written and read by Eric Czuleger and produced by Savannah Fortis, with original music and sounds by Savannah Fortis.

Finance is the invisible foundation for statecraft but we rarely think about how it works or where it came from. In our first of a three part series on finance we take a deep dive into the origins of money and how it made and broke empires.This episode was written and read by Eric Czuleger and produced by Savannah Fortis, with original music and sounds by Savannah Fortis. Find Eric all over the internet: Sign up for The Under Report: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠theunderreport.io⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠TikTok: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.tiktok.com/@the_under_report⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠YouTube:⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.youtube.com/@The_Under_Report⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Instagram: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.instagram.com/eczuleger⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ X: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://x.com/Eczuleger⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Book: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠You Are Not Here, Travels Through Countries That Don’t Exist⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ If you like the show, rate us and leave a review!The views, thoughts and opinions expressed in this podcast are its participants alone.

Power is all about controlling the one thing that everyone needs. Water is the most important thing in the world and anyone who could command the headwaters turned into a god. But water doesn’t always make dictators. Today’s episode is about water and power and how one flows from the other.

Modern history leads us to believe that it's impossible for countries to come to an agreement on anything, let alone everything. However, there was one time in history where every country in the world came together to stop something that was an existential threat. Treaties solved a problem and that may be one of the reasons we don't think about it too much today.

We’re led to believe that peace is just the absence of war. The people who want us to believe that benefit from war. The reality is that the infrastructure of peace is being built all around us, we just don’t notice it. Today we look at the stories of people who don’t appear on the front pages of newspapers because they’re busy preventing the wars we’ve never heard about – because they’ve never happened.

The age of drone warfare has done something unexpected: it's driven soldiers underground. When everything above the surface can be watched, tracked, and targeted, the tunnel becomes the new trench. This week, The Under Report goes beneath the battlefield exploring how militaries around the world are building, mapping, and fighting inside the earth's forgotten infrastructure.

The space around our planet is the most valuable real estate in the universe. But making it usable for mankind might also lock us into this planet forever if we mess it up. Today we’re doing a deep dive into the geopolitics of outer space and finding out how satellite technology could be the key or the bars to our prison.

The land beneath your feet tells you more about who you are than your astrological sign ever could. Power flows from the ground up. Society is built by mountains, rivers, and valleys as much as it is by laws and treaties. When we know how to look at the land, history begins to make a bit more sense.

Attention is the most important resource in the world and there is a war on for it. While conflict over oil grabs headlines, real power is about the stories we're convinced to fight for. Today's episode: how information warfare bent the arc of history and defines our future. Pay attention, or someone else will determine what is in your mind.
