Acerca de Nights On The Porch

Nights On The Porch is dedicated to rediscovering the ideas, stories, and cultural moments that shaped America. Each episode explores old and rare books (sometimes not so old or rare) and overlooked writings on economics, history, society, and culture, bringing them back into the conversation for a modern audience.Alongside these readings, the show dives into Golden Age Hollywood films, examining not just the movies themselves, but the world surrounding them. Episodes explore the social climate, cultural values, and historical context at the time of their release or the era in which the story is set. Rather than focusing on filmmaking techniques, Nights On The Porch looks at what these films reveal about the country, its people, and its identity.Occasionally joined by guests, the podcast opens the door to a wide range of perspectives and topics, all rooted in curiosity, discovery, and thoughtful conversation.The goal is simple: to expose listeners to meaningful books and classic films they may have never encountered and inspire them to dig deeper, buy the books, watch the movies, and appreciate them from a broader cultural and historical lens.

"War Is A Racket" (Ch. 1, 2, 3) - Smedley Butler

In this episode of Nights On The Porch, we read Chapters 1 through 3 of War Is a Racket by Smedley Butler (1935). Butler lays out his argument that war, especially WWI, has served as a highly profitable enterprise, benefiting specific industries, corporations, and financial interests. Focusing on the who, what, when, and where of wartime profits, Butler breaks down how a war economy operates and identifies the groups that stand to gain the most. This episode explores his early claims, the examples he presents, and the broader questions he raises about the relationship between conflict, business, and national policy. The goal is to introduce listeners to Butler’s argument and encourage deeper reading, research, and discussion about the economic forces behind war.
