On our new podcast, Tooze and FP deputy editor Cameron Abadi will look at two data points each week that explain the world: one drawn from the week’s headlines and the other from just about anywhere else Too... more

Some discussions interesting but AT loves a sneer at social democracy - while laughing all the way to the bank, no doubt. It’s clear Tooze will never get his own hands dirty, just enjoy the failings of others. That’s ex-Trot intellectuals for you.
Cam, take some notes of what you want to say, review them, get a thought in your head, then deliver the thought with proper flow. The “umms” and “ahhs” every third word out of your mouth is lazy and grating. Delivery is just as important as content.
Delete the uh’s. It’s painful to listen to.
Tooze is thoughtful and fluent on all sorts of topics. I especially enjoy his historical insights. But the host needs to tighten up his rambling questions. Even when his questions are relatively short he will still circle back over the same territory and repeat himself. And so many “ums” and “uhs,” like he’s groping around for the next word. If I’m not driving, I skip ahead 15-30 seconds to get to Tooze’s response.
Can he stop w that slow broken “thoughtful” rhythm. We know he’s smart, doesn’t need that affect. Makes me feel impatient.

Two data-driven hosts illuminate global economics and policy through a historical lens, pairing macro-finance discussions with political and cultural context. Episodes span U.S. debt dynamics, central-bank incentives, the economics of technology, global trade bottlenecks, and geopolitical risk, often weaving in vivid case studies (art funding, industry supply chains, maritime routes) to illustrate how policy, markets, and culture intersect in real time. The approach is interdisciplinary and data-forward, with historical texture and contemporary relevance, frequently featuring live events or sponsorships. A standout characteristic is the blend of rigorous economic analysis with broader historical and international perspective, which helps li... more
