Politics is one of the only practical disciplines where none of the main concepts have clear, coherent definitions. We define ourselves with terms like "left” and "right" and we believe in things like "democracy," “markets,” "capitalism" and "socialism" even though we don’t really know what any of these words actually mean. This series aims to make sense out of the political muddle that we've inhe... more

  • I’ve listened to many hours now

    And somebody with just a bit of anthropology education I can say everything he sang squares with the information I learned in the mid 80s and the scraps I’ve picked up since. This is an immensely useful, concise discussion of politics. Through the lands of anthropology and history. I would say this is the tical equivalent of Gary’s economics and Gary Stevenson’s statement that wealth drives poverty, and if we do not bring it back to earth, it will definitely drive more and more people into pover... more

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Q&A on the ABCs of Israel/Palestine
Q: Why don’t you call the actions in Gaza genocide?
While there is mass murder occurring, the legal definition of genocide requires intent to exterminate a population. I see the current situation as mass murder, but not genocide until there is a clear intent to wipe out the Palestinians entirely.
Q&A on the ABCs of Israel/Palestine
Q: Can you explain the American approach to the Israel-Palestine conflict?
The US wants a loyal government in the Middle East to ensure oil prices remain affordable and to prevent Arab countries from becoming anti-American. They support Israel as a reliable ally, which holds both strategic and military significance.
