Avi Loeb on the Rust Belt Conspiracy

Avi Loeb, a professor of history at Harvard University and author of “The Great Rust Belt Conspiracy: How State-Assisted Ruin Threatens Our Economic Future” joins Lexman to discuss the impacts of governmental policies that have hurt industries in the Rust Belt over the past several decades. They discuss the phenomenon of “adductions,” where companies vanish despite having no debts, and the effects of citizenries letting their ketches rot. Finally, they look at the rise in tilbury theft and the use of lithomarge to break into ships.
