  • Too clever? Certainly smug

    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’s constant word whiskers

    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.

  • Great content, tighten up the questions

    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.

  • Cam talks annoying

    Can he stop w that slow broken “thoughtful” rhythm. We know he’s smart, doesn’t need that affect. Makes me feel impatient.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Spain vs. Argentina
Q: What was their relationship like Franco and Perón?
Franco and Perón shared an affinity in some ideological forms during the mid-20th century, but their governments remained distinct; both drew on labor movements and autarkic tendencies, yet Peru's and Argentina's alignments shifted with Cold War dynamics and U.S. influence, leading to a pragmatic, bifurcated collaboration rather than a deep, unbroken alliance.
Two Topics: Brexit and D-Day
Q: What is the core methodological challenge in assessing Brexit's impact on Britain's economy?
The hosts discuss counterfactual approaches, such as building a synthetic Britain by comparing to similar economies and weighing different gravity-model implementations to estimate what might have happened without Brexit.
Is Europe Falling Behind?
Q: What would actually matter for Europe to be competitive in a practical sense?
Investing heavily to absorb and deploy technologies, improving private R&D investment, and pursuing a practical form of industrial policy that strengthens productive capacity across sectors while leveraging existing tech from places like California.
Is Europe Falling Behind?
Q: But how do we measure this question about output or growth in the first place?
The discussion explains there are multiple data modes—in-year comparisons, fixed benchmark long-period comparisons, and methods like pen datasets—each with biases, so conclusions depend on which method you trust and why.
The K-Shaped Economy
Q: What is Thatcher's lasting impact on economics and politics?
Her era reframed class power, accelerated privatization and marketization, and shaped Britain's role in globalization, with repercussions that influenced later crises, European policy, and political alignments.
