The Myth Factory is a history podcast that examines how societies come to believe certain stories about the world. We delve into the intricate narratives that define our societies. In my view, we are being conned. We are victims of a long-planned grift. Our intuition tells us something is deeply wrong with a world where few thrive and many struggle; we struggle to put our finger on it. That is exactly why I created this podcast: to pull back the curtain and uncover the hoodwink. Join us as we dissect the lasting impacts of these scams on our world today, fostering a deeper understanding of the stories we live by.
Season 1 – The Capitalist Grift
Season 1
The Capitalist Grift’ explores the intricate web of neoliberal economics, revealing the influential figures and financial forces behind its rise. Our kids feel this viscerally. When they look at their prospects for jobs, housing, relationships, and their future, they envision a dark tunnel with no light at the end. I believe there is a root cause of this despair: the pervasive con of neoliberal economics and its infiltration of our culture.
