#44 Will Tanner. Why Rhodesia Still Matters. What can it teach the West today?

In this conversation, I speak with Will Tanner to explore the complex history of Rhodesia and why it matters today. We discuss the economic foundations of Rhodesia, the struggle for independence, and the rise of revolutionary forces, particularly under Mugabe's regime. The conversation also touches on the hyperinflation crisis in Zimbabwe and draws parallels to contemporary issues in America, emphasizing the importance of nationhood, identity, and economic decentralization through Bitcoin.
