The Historical Road Leading to Today’s Crises and Beyond.

This week on the Global Research News Hour, we are looking at the world’s current economic and political difficulties through the lens of the historical trajectory of the economic currents rising and competing with those of allied and enemy countries. Starting off, our first guest, Professor Radhiika Desai introduces her latest book, Capitalism, Coronavirus and War: A Geo Political Economy, which notes the devastation caused by the pandemic was already rooted in the failures of the model of neoliberal financialization, and more calibrated ways for progressives to achieve change. This interview is followed by an interview with Mahdi Nazemroaya who has worked in the field in China and brings some unique thoughts about China’s approach to he disease and how elements actually were similar in a lot of ways to the American and European methods.
