Show Notes
Mark Blyth, political economist at Brown University's Watson Institute, and political scientist Carrie Nordlund share their take on the news.
On this episode: the politics of Facebook's 'Supreme Court'; new voter restriction laws in the US and the Republican Party's continued flirtation with authoritarianism; why suspending vaccine patents won't actually help the world to make more vaccines; America's declining birthrate and other revelations from the US Census; the Covid spike in India; the UK Conservative Party's continued dominance over Labour and what it can teach progressives in the US; is Scottish independence on the horizon?
