In this episode we disucss the "graphic textbook" Open Borders by econ professor Bryan Caplan, illustrated by Saturday Morning Breakfast Cereal cartoonist Zach Weinersmith.

EDIT: Caplan recently published some new interesting thoughts about why immigrants are left wing[1]. Whereas we argued that immigrant culture/politics is whack/left-wing cause they're bringing their values that turned their states into failed states, Caplan argues that it might also be the case that they turn left wing because the right in their new country typically doesn't like immigrants.

In this crisp episode we talk about Antifragile: Things That Gain From Disorder by probability researcher and philosopher Nassim Nicholas Taleb. Check it out!
Spoiler alert: this is nowhere near a comprehensive review, quite the opposite: we barely managed to scratch the surface of Taleb's geniality and many mind-blowing bits aren't even mentioned at all, so DO pick up a copy!

Editorial note:
In the political discussion we got confused with the some of the correct English terms, so by national government we mean federal government and sometimes talking about federal governments we mean the governments of the federal states, sorry for that! We hope you can still make sense of the essential points!
