Miscellaneous


Mark Blyth, political economist at Brown University's Watson Institute, and political scientist Carrie Nordlund share their take on the news. On this episode: Mark and Carrie feel skeptical about a 'post-Covid' boom; Biden's infrastructure bill, and the inconvenient truths it poses to congressional Republicans; the trial of Derek Chauvin, and how policing in America might (or might not) change in its wake; Amazon's defeat of a union drive; Brexit-infused unrest in Northern Ireland. On the bright side: Prince Phillip lived for a long time.
