This video features Acharya Prashant highlighting a profound systemic failure: the 2008 financial crisis was driven by graduates of the world's most "elite" institutions, including Harvard, Wharton, and IIM Ahmedabad.

He argues that their education was technically rigorous but spiritually bankrupt, leaving them unable to distinguish between genuine aspiration and suicidal greed.

If our highest institutions only teach us how to acquire and not how to be, are they simply training highly efficient agents of chaos?

>In 1930s Germany, Adolf Hitler promised national renewal through grand motorways and affordable cars for ordinary families. But behind the spectacle of the Autobahn lay a far darker reality. This documentary reveals how the Nazis turned road building into one of their most powerful propaganda tools, while failing to deliver most of what they promised. The so-called “People’s Car” scheme took workers’ money but never gave them the cars they paid for, as the factory was diverted to military production. Meanwhile, millions of forced laborers and prisoners were exploited under brutal conditions to support infrastructure designed less for prosperity than for war. Project Nazi: Hitler’s Highways exposes the gap between Nazi myth and reality - and how mobility became another instrument of dictatorship, deception, and destruction.

The documentary reveals lesser known aspects of the relationship between fascism, productivism, pro-growth, pronatalism, and racial supremacism.
