Adam is a professional poker player who spent years reading opponents, thinking in probabilities, and making high-stakes decisions with incomplete information. That experience helped him develop some skills that can be applied to other areas as well.
We start there — what poker teaches you about psychology, risk, and the difference between confidence and certainty. From there, we venture back to America’s founding, and we discuss Alexander Hamilton and his American System. We explore that topic from multiple angles... and it leads into a wider philosophical discussion about how markets are superior to politics in every possible way.
This one flows naturally, and I certainly appreciate Adam taking the time to chat. You can catch the episode at: https://phoenicianleague.com/podcast-episode-18-alexander-hamilton-the-american-system-and-how-a-professional-poker-player-became-a-libertarian/

P.S. I’ll have the next installment of our American System essay series ready for you later this week.
