Porkopolis Economics covers macroeconomics, money, and sports from the creator of the Crypto Voices podcast, Matthew Mezinskis.

In this episode, Matthew explores military spending - analyzing expenditures as a percentage of total government budgets rather than GDP. Using insights from the Stockholm International Peace Research Institute, he dives into key data from 2023 and 20-year averages. Countries like Saudi Arabia, Ukraine, South Korea, and Israel feature prominently, with Ukraine's 2023 figure of 95% of its government budget devoted to defense as it continues to fight for it's freedom against the mafia state - Russia.
