Well-meaning plans can easily backfire, leading to revolt, failure, and shocking events. From ancient Mesopotamia to current world events, The Cobra Effect podcast explores the unintended consequences of government policies, including taxation, wage and price controls, foreign aid, collectivization, subsidies, environmental impacts, and more. Four millennia of history on all continents demonstrate that we repeat the mistakes of the past when judging ideas by intentions rather than results.
