In this episode we discuss Jon Corzine’s return to Wall Street, what he did last time he was there, and why Ann closed her commodities brokerage in the first place (spoiler: there’s a near-complete lack of the rule of law in the financial industry). Also, we discuss Donald Trump’s visit to Saudi Arabia and the collective buildup of the largest islamic naval fleet since the 1570s, and respond to a listener’s question of whether there will be transcripts of the podcast at some point.
