Show Notes

-The global and local history of potatoes.
-If potatoes really helped countries come out of famines.
-Adam Smith’s obsession with potatoes.
-How the British used potatoes to spread their colonialism in India.
-The essential commodities act and why hoarding is good for the economy.
-Health benefits of potatoes
So sit back and relax, put some potato fries in the fryer, squeeze out the mustard dip and listen to our 2Gs narrate a few unheard facts and theories.
