  • Heterodox economists series

    Regular listener. Would love to hear Adam on Albert Hirschman, who today seems fondly remembered valued (by a smart few) and dead-ended by the profession in general. Maybe a subseries within the subseries on heterodox developmental economists?

  • Highly Partisan

    Unfortunately this is yet another podcast playing to its audience and telling us what we want to hear rather than examining either economics or geopolitics in a measured, relatively balanced way. Gonzo podcasting.

    Audience capture? Demonstrably neither authors, nor journalists, nor podcasters have proved themselves above it. Disappointing.

  • 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.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

The Economics of Fraternities
Q: What is the economic function of fraternities in the United States, and how does their networking work?
Tooze describes alumni referrals, mentorship, trust, social signaling, mobility, entrepreneurship and access to finance. He notes research associating membership with higher income, while also discussing lower grades and the ways Greek life can reinforce privilege.
U.S. and Israeli Elections
Q: What would it mean to create a bypass economy exactly?
Tooze interprets Netanyahu's proposal as an attempt to insulate Israel from external pressure through crypto and financial technology, but argues it is impractical because Israel relies on foreign investment, exports, and international markets.
The Economics of Fraternities
Q: How exactly did fraternities become such a big phenomenon?
Tooze traces their development from secret literary societies and early Greek-letter organizations into social clubs, then explains their growth alongside expanding American higher education and acquisition of fraternity houses.
France and Serbia
Q: Overall, was he an effective economic leader?
Tooze says Vučić helped stabilize Serbia's public finances and reduce its debt, but argues that tight fiscal control also enabled politically managed investment, clientelism, and crony capitalism.
U.S. and Israeli Elections
Q: Is something of this magnitude possible to emerge from something as mundane as a kind of cost of living issue as Americans seem to have mostly been bothered by right now in the United States?
Tooze says the cost-of-living crisis and an administration that seemed indifferent to it combined to produce the unusually large Democratic shift.
