Porkopolis Economics covers macroeconomics, money, and sports from the creator of the Crypto Voices podcast, Matthew Mezinskis.

The episode critically examines expert analyses, particularly John Mearsheimer's seemingly contradictory positions on various conflicts, raising important questions about consistency in international relations theory.

Despite Israel's military budget being 100 times larger than Hamas', and Russia's being 5 times larger than Ukraine's, raw military power doesn't always determine outcomes.
