#19: The Geopolitics of Covid: Monetary Policy, Vaccine Races, and Thucydides’ Trap | Adam Tooze

Adam Tooze is my guest today in #CapitalismAfterCoronavirus. Adam is a professor of history at Columbia University, and serves as Director of the European Institute. He is one of the most prolific and wide-ranging intellectuals of our time. He recently wrote the book that many consider the key account of the financial crisis of 2008 and its consequences: Crashed: How a Decade of Financial Crises Changed the World. In this episode, we discuss the political sustainability of the current monetary policy, the geopolitical consequences of the vaccine race, and how to think about the future of the China-US- Europe relationship.
