"Government intervention in the institutions of money and banking sowed the seeds of the worldwide asset bubble in the early and mid-2000s, which could only result in a giant crash according to this line of thought. Once the crash had occurred, the recession was prolonged by yet more government intervention in the form of massive deficits, expansion of unemployment payments, and ever more regulations on businesses in the private sector. Only by returning to a genuinely free market, based on the classical liberal notions of private property, civil liberties, and peace among nations, can we return to the prosperity and steady improvement of living conditions that we had come to take for granted.

"Just 38 minutes long, yet powerful enough to leave a lasting impact. Jodi Picoult flips the narrative on unwanted pregnancy by giving it to men, challenging them (and the listener) to confront what bodily autonomy really means.<br/><br/>Through a miraculous and unsettling premise, Picoult explores how it feels to have your future, your body, and your choice stripped away. It’s not just a reversal for shock value—it’s a razor-sharp commentary on privilege, empathy, and the politics of control.<br/><br/>The story asks a haunting question:<br/>“Is it that you don’t want to have a baby, or that you’ve never had a choice taken away from you?”<br/>And that question lingers long after the story ends."
