Episode 3: Fergus Hodgson on Albertan Secession, the Anglo-Sphere, and Latin America

In February I talked with author and economic analyst, Fergus Hodgson, to discuss the budding movement for Alberta to leave Canada and form a new sovereign country, the sorry state of the Anglo-sphere, and what to make of Latin America’s seeming turn to the right and away from socialism. Fergus has many fascinating insights and I definitely learned a lot from the conversation.Fergus’ Substack [https://substack.com/@fergushodgson?utm_source=global-search] The Econ Americas [https://econamericas.com/] The Latin American Red Pill [https://impunityobserver.com/2025/05/13/introduction-to-the-latin-america-red-pill/] Financial Sovereignty for Canadians [https://econamericas.com/financial-sovereignty-canadians/] Intro music sampled from Corpse Dragging by Anyutka [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sGJRu6n6Ik4] Outro music sampled from Misunderstanding by Chikoi the Maid [https://youtu.be/JWmHw2SoHVU?si=9B5HtZmzX8OcVjMe] Get full access to The Yost Post at yostpost.substack.com/subscribe [https://yostpost.substack.com/subscribe?utm_medium=podcast&utm_campaign=CTA_4]

Imperial Entanglements Ep 1: Why Classical Liberals Have Disappointed Us

In this inaugural episode, host Zack Yost and GMU economist Dan Klein explore their disappointment with classical liberals on both institutional and philosophical levels when it comes to facing changing sociopolitical circumstances. This wide ranging conversation covers a lot of ground including the institutional and political problems that classical liberal organizations face, the inherently violent nature of political life, and the insights of political theorist Eric Voegelin into the dangers of dogmatic thinking that cuts one off from the transcendent.
