Hanlon's (disposable) Razor

As the old saying goes, “Don’t attribute to malice what can be explained by ignorance”. But when actions have consequences, can we really separate the two? Against the backdrop of British comedic philosophy, we look into what makes Trump tick, the beliefs of those around him, and how the “Failed Man Complex” shapes the world we live in. Finally, with a lesson in accounting, we address the misconceptions around global trade and government bookkeeping. Support the show
