from Mark and Carrie Hosted by Mark and Carrie

Mark Blyth, political economist at Brown University's Watson Institute, and political scientist Carrie Nordlund share their take on the news. On this episode: the politics of Facebook's 'Supreme Court'; new voter restriction laws in the US and the Republican Party's continued flirtation with authoritarianism; why suspending vaccine patents won't actually help the world to make more vaccines; America's declining birthrate and other revelations from the US Census; the Covid spike in India; the UK Conservative Party's continued dominance over Labour and what it can teach progressives in the US; is Scottish independence on the horizon? You can listen to Mark Blyth of the Watson Institute's other podcast 'Trending Globally' here. You can learn more about Watson’s other podcasts here.
