An anarchistic, scholarly, and entertaining podcast and blog with punk-pop-economist-at-large Dr. Beni Balak and Co-Host Jesse Velez: Get tuned in, turned on, and drop out of ignorance!
This reminds me of the great Ponce de Leon myth we are taught here in Florida. Ponce didn’t give a damn about any fountain of youth. He cared about finding gold, new lands and anything that would make him rich. And if some Native Floridians had to be slaughtered in the process, so be it. And today we live with subdivisions, schools, counties and shopping centers named after the so-called man who discovered Florida, which of course he didn’t.
Beni,
An inspiring move by the people of Seattle.
