Suzi talks to Frantz Voltaire, Haitian historian, filmmaker, and publisher, about the chaotic situation in Haiti. President Jovenel Moïse was assassinated at his home in the middle of the night on July 7 by men wearing DEA uniforms, some speaking Spanish and English. A hit squad of Colombian attackers have been arrested along with two Haitian Americans, but everything is murky about the assassination. The country was already in a political and constitutional crisis with both a non-functioning Parliament and Judiciary — and that crisis has now greatly increased with two different men claiming interim authority, while armed gangs fight to command the streets. Some Haitian officials have called for US military assistance, while others are adamantly opposed to more outside intervention whether by the US, UN, or aid groups. We get Frantz Voltaire's understanding of the current situation, how and why the assassination took place, the political-economic context from which it arose, and what we can now expect to happen.

We're still not entirely sure what the mega-bestselling 2005 book "Freakonomics: A Rogue Economist Explores the Hidden Side of Everything" was about, but it seems to have had something to do with arguing that economics is all about incentives.

Suzi talks to Yoav Peled about the outcome of Israel’s 4th election in two years, ending Benjamin Netanyahu's long reign--for the time being. Netanyahu unleashed a major shock and awe campaign against Gaza for 11 days last month -- as he did in November 2019, to deflect attention from his own legal problems and his inability to form a governing coalition. This time Hamas rockets and Israeli bombs failed to save Netanyahu’s hold on power and prevent a more moderate coalition from upending his rule. Neftali Bennet, far right leader of the tiny Yamina (Rightward) party will be PM for two years, yielding to his secular-centrist coalition partner Yair Lapid for the next two years. Netanyahu, facing criminal corruption charges, warns "he’ll be back." Yoav Peled clarifies what this means, and explains the dynamics of nationalism and religion in Israel (his latest book is the timely The Religionization of Israeli Society) among both Muslims and Jews.
