We’re back from our summer break with David, Helen and Adam Tooze exploring what the pandemic has revealed about politics, economics and the new world order. From Covid crisis to China crisis to climate crisis: how does it all fit together? And what comes next? Adam’s new book is Shutdown: How Covid Shook the World’s Economy. Plus David talks about his new book based on series one of History of Ideas: Confronting Leviathan.
Talking Points:
The term ‘lockdown’ can be misleading. Many aspects of the response were not top-down.
The term ‘shutdown’ better captures the pandemic’s impact on the economy.
Is there such thing as democratic money?
The entire monetary order in China is political, but there was a debate within the regime over stimulus.
The Republican party is becoming increasingly incoherent.
The U.S.-China competition has changed.
