Dave Smith came to my apartment to have a chat about America. Dave is a really well read staunch libertarian. So he breaks it down from an intelligent place that’s not biased towards any powerful political party. (*Libertarians are not powerful). It’s a great, accessible way to hear about the state of the United States.

Dan Carlin's Hardcore History is an interesting podcast, but it has gone downhill. If you are looking for something new to listen to, you guys might enjoy it. I would check out his excellent show on Alexander vs. Hitler. Its a bit on the long side, but its well worth the buck a show donation that I don't pay.

Welcome to the Myth of the 20th Century. The podcast airs on Fridays.
— Brought to you by —
Adam Smith, Hans Lander, Nick Mason, and Alex Walker.
Notes:
“The Model T was not a car as we know them now – it was a person – crotchety and mean, frolicsome and full of jokes – just when you were ready to kill yourself, it would run five miles with no gasoline whatsoever.. I understood IT but as I said before, IT understood me: It magnified some of my faults, corrected others. It worked on the sin of impatience; it destroyed the sin of vanity. And it helped to establish an almost Oriental philosophy of acceptance.” So were the words of American author John Steinbeck, published in 1953 in the Ford News about the passing of the Model T as the end of American innocence. Henry Ford, founder, engineer, and leader of Ford Motor Company, had brought not only America the notion of an affordable, practical means of motorized transport, but the entire world. He embodied much of what America strove to be in the 19th and early parts of the 20th century – independent, forthright, and self made. His company, like his cars, became showpieces of the American middle class, offering an alternative to vast income disparities and luxury goods for the few with concepts such as the $5 work day and simple, low priced vehicles his own workers could afford. As Henry Ford neared the end of his life in 1947, however, he saw an America much changed from his youthful days as a farm boy, with the vast centralization of power brought about by two world wars, and a technocratic elite coming to dominate society from within institutions like the major corporations that he in part helped create.
Timeline:
1863 – Henry Ford is born in a small Michigan farm to English and Belgian immigrants, the oldest of five children.
1876-1879 – Henry becomes a budding young mechanic, teaching himself how to draw rudimentary blueprints and disassemble watches and tools.
1879 – Henry moves just outside of Detroit to live with his Aunt, gaining early skills as a machinist/mechanic and engineer.
1884 – Henry, now a man, enrolls at Goldsmith, Bryant & Stratton Business University in Detroit.
1888 – Clara Jane Bryant becomes the wife of Henry Ford, and they remain together until Henry’s death in 1947.
1894 – Henry becomes the Chief Engineer of the Edison Illuminating Company and a top protege of Thomas Edison.
1896 – The Quadricycle, Ford’s first motorized vehicle, is driven throughout the streets of Detroit.
1899-1901 – Ford founds the Detroit Automobile Company, later abandoning it as the company’s sales fail to achieve investor expectations. Later in 1901, Ford builds a race car that competes, and finds victory, in Michigan’s first major automobile race. The Henry Ford Company is founded with Henry as the chief engineer, but is then forced out of the company by investors.

1914 – Henry Ford makes several landmark moves by perfecting the assembly line production model, utilizing a series of process engineering and administrative breakthroughs, as well as doubling worker’s pay to $5.00 an hour and ensuring a full two-day weekend for all laborers.
1918 – Henry Ford runs for Senator of Michigan, although loses the election by 4500 votes.
1919 – Henry and Edsel Ford, hatching a takeover plot to oust the Dodge Brothers and other investors, finally privatize the Ford Motor Company.
1925 – After expanding into hotels, tractors, naval vessels, and automobiles, Henry Ford develops an aviation unit and rapidly becomes one of the world’s largest aircraft manufacturer.
1927 – Ford introduces the Model A and begins phasing out the Model T.
1932 – Ford releases the new V8-Engine model, and faces down the infamous Hunger March by Ford company laborers.
1943 – After shifting in and out of various positions with the company, Henry Ford once again assumes control of the Ford Motor Company.
1947 – Henry Ford passes away in the middle of the night, resting on the shoulder of his wife Clara.

The Disinformation Age is a new podcast from Mike Hind and John Gray about the world of twitter bot networks and fake news.
Only two episodes so far, but the second one gives a fascinating glimpse on the complex web of fake accounts used to make the bots seem more legitimate than they are. Apparently, the American porn industry is a popular source for bot account mugshots.

Re: Other Podcasts
A quick drive-by on some interesting, and unknown (to me) post-Napoleonic Prussia vs. France history (Neutral Moresnet):
The Tom Woods Show, Ep. 1020 Statelessness: Another Case Study
Pete Earle, author of the study A Century of Anarchy, joins me to discuss a little-known case study of statelessness.
I got the short Kindle piece the show is about for $2.99. It's decent and well-cited, but I got about as much of the story from just listening to the interview.
A Century of Anarchy: Neutral Moresnet through the Revisionist Lens
Could a community without a central government avoid descending into chaos and rampant criminality? Could its economy grow and thrive without the intervening regulatory hand of the state? Could disputes between citizens be settled if there existed no state monopoly on legal judgments? Apparently, the answers to these questions are yes, yes, and yes.
Indeed, if the strange and little-known case of the condominium of Neutral Moresnet — a tiny wedge of disputed territory in northwestern Europe — acts as our guide, we must conclude that statelessness is not only possible but beneficial to progress, carrying profound advantages over coercive bureaucracies.
The remarkable enterprise that was Moresnet was an unintended consequence of the Napoleonic Wars (1803–1815).
Created as a triangle of neutral territory between Prussia and the Netherlands by the Congress of Vienna, Moresnet encapsulates the archetype of market anarchy. Hidden in its history we find privately produced, commodity-backed money; competing avenues for the administration of justice; negligible — and, it seems, entirely avoidable — taxes and fees; few, if any, regulations; a defense force without a standing military; open borders (however unintentionally); and an irrepressibly entrepreneurial spirit.
Does anybody know anything about this place?
