This is one of the best and most important conversations I’ve ever had. Dr. Ralph Schoellhammer is an Austrian political scientist, Head of Center for Applied History at MCC Budapest, scholar, and a terrific person. He’s forthright in his speech, incredibly well read and knowledgeable, thoughtful, open to criticism, and intellectually nimble.

This episode features discussions on economics, touching on world news and the idea of an economic bloc being formed. It compares the US military comparison against others, debating economic power versus military might, and more.

Find my two previous conversations with Ralph here and here.

“Fantasy politics” is the best descriptor of what we’re currently witnessing in Western political discourse. That phrase is from my interview with author, public intellectual, and Danube Institute fellow Philip Pilkington. Philip has numerous zingers in this interview, like: “Now they’ve created a roach motel in Britain,” “The West is in terminal decline,” and “68% of the people in Britain think the country is fundamentally broken”.

This is my second interview with Philip. (The first interview was only released as a podcast due to filming issues.)

Philip is a thoughtful, knowledgeable, and smart guy. He’s also sincere. Not in spite of but because of this, I find our conversations sobering and his arguments compelling: The decline of the West has been obvious for some time now, and it’s evident in nearly every aspect of life. This is not only obvious to Philip, and to other economists, but it’s obvious to anyone who’s paying attention.

Gavin Haynes is a good dude. Smart, too. He’s a fellow at the Danube Institute, which is how we met. This is far more of a conversation than an interview. And for the record, every time I’ve been with Gavin he’s used at least three words which are not in my active vocabulary. I love that! We talked about Dominic McKenzie Cummings, the OODA loop, culture, and more.
