TIMOTHY KELLY
About this episode

Mike Maxwell returns to discuss Friedrich List and his ideas regarding national economy versus the so-called free trade doctrines and cosmopolitanism promoted by acolytes of Adam Smith and the British Establishment.  We also talk about how the Anglo-German divide in economics is the hidden grammar to the history of the 20th century and today's geopolitical turmoil. 

Mike is the founder of Imperium Press, and the proprietor of the Imperium Press Substack.
