8 VideoGovernment, Economic Growth, and Speculative Investing with Peter Thiel In this Uncommon Knowledge interview from November 24, 2008, Thiel argues that a book published in France in 1968, Le Defi Americain (The American Challenge), has a lot to say to us in 2008, including why the United States has failed to rise to the heights predicted by its author, J. J. Servan-Schreiber. In explaining what’s wrong with the US economy, Thiel points out that, although we have benefited from growth that is both extensive (e.g., free trade) and intensive (e.g., technology), we have not featured enough of each. He asserts that the credit crisis of 2008 had nothing to do with the failings of the free market but rather is a by-product of government entanglement, nurtured by the motors of economic growth, working less well than expected. 12/28/11 Free View In iTunes

No iPhone/iPod video support?

by cabrian

This is a podcast of excellent quality of topics and guests but why do they persist in using a format that can't be viewed on iPods and iPhones? I love to watch these discussions but am annoyed that every time I synchronize I get an error that the video format is unsupported. Get with it guys!

most stimulating 15 minutes of my day

by stev_jobs

The seriousness and intellectual integrity of Peter Robinson puts "uncommon knowledge" in a class of its own. It is easily the most stimulating "political" podcast I subscribe to. Regardless of your political viewpoint, you can always learn from the serious insights of intellectual giants such as Thomas Sowell, Chris Buckley, Andrew Klavan, and more...
