If overthrow means to bring down unjust authority through violence,
underthrow means to topple it through peaceful yet powerful means.
In the debut episode of Underthrow, host Max Borders sits down with James Harrigan, political scientist and co-host of Words and Numbers, to confront the economic and cultural challenges facing America.
Max and James discuss rising debt, inflation, and the future of the U.S. dollar, while exploring whether bold reforms could avert collapse.
The conversation turns to controversial issues such as immigration, assimilation, and the pressures on a liberal society—exogenous and indogenous. The duo wonders how a culture of freedom can endure in the face of shifting circumstances and errant ideologies.
Thoughtful, candid, and not afraid of hard truths, Max and James set the stage for a podcast that challenges assumptions and reimagines the future.
