Bezoek de productwijzer op https://productwijzer.justenough.nl/ Media, politiek, onderwijs: overal wordt hetzelfde dominante economische verhaal verteld. Maar wat als dat eenzijdige verhaal geen passend oplossingen heeft voor de problemen van deze tijd? Hoe maak je andere vormen van economisch denken bespreekbaar? Inzichtelijk? Hoe ga je de strijd aan met de status quo. Hoogleraar out-of-the-box-economics Irene van Staveren weet het. En doet het.In deze inspirerende podcast deelt ze economische inzichten die je bijna nooit hoort, maar tegelijkertijd onmisbaar zijn.Denk aan de financiële crises van 2007/2008. Wijlen de Engelse koningin Elizabeth ging vlak na het ontstaan van de financiële crises in 2007/2008 op bezoek bij het gerenommeerde London School of Economics en vroeg aan topeconomen hoe het toch mogelijk was dat niemand deze crisis zag aankomen? Waarom niemand hiervoor had gewaarschuwd? De economen kwamen niet verder dan een antwoord waarin ze stelden dan de crises veroorzaakt zijn door een schok. En een schok komt van buiten de economie en was daarmee voor hen niet te voorzien geweest. De rol van greed (hebzucht) werd in deze modellen niet meegenomen. Het is een veelzeggende illustratie van een van de blinde vlekken die aanwezig zijn in het hedendaagse dominante economische denken. Hoogleraar out-of-the-box-economics Irene van Staveren legt in deze podcast uit hoe zij tracht onze ogen hiervoor te openen. Of denk aan het mensbeeld van de homo economicus. Stel je loopt op een drukke straat, er rijden veel auto's en je ziet iemand voor je struikelen. Zonder erover na te denken, intuïtief, sleur je diegene voor de auto's vandaan. Volgens economen zouden we dat doen omdat we daarvoor een beloning verwachten. Ons handelen zou daarmee een calculerend handelen in plaats van intuïtief medemenselijk handelen zijn. Immers: al ons handelen komt volgens de heersende economische doctrine voort uit eigenbelang.Het is slechts één voorbeeld van verschillende dogma's in het hedendaagse dominante economische denken die getuigen van een smal economisch maatschappelijk- en mensbeeld. Dit is niet altijd zo geweest. En hoeft ook niet zo te blijven als het aan Irene van Staveren ligt. In deze podcast legt ze uit hoe zij de strijd aan gaat met de status quo in het land der economen.

Who would be a policymaker right now? The list of economic problems that we need to solve ranges from “very difficult” to “existential”. An ambitious new book collects the ideas of many influential economists on how to approach these challenges. But can it avoid the mistakes of previous attempts to find an economic policy consensus? Andrés Velasco and Tim Besley are two of the editors of The London Consensus. Tim Phillips joined them at The London School of Economics to ask why the book was created, how policymakers can use it, and whether we should be wary of economists bearing paradigms.

At the 2025 Holberg Debate, Mary Kaldor, Boris Johnson, Stephen Walt and Stephen Sackur (moderator) met to discuss current conditions for collective security and global stability. As war returns to Europe, global institutions falter, and great power rivalry intensifies, the foundations of collective security are under strain. Is liberal internationalism—often seen as a framework for global cooperation, but also criticized for legitimizing interventionist policies—now obsolete? On the panel:

In a few days time resident doctors -who used to be known as junior doctors - were meant to be going on strike. This would be the 14th strike by the doctors' union since March 2023. The ostensible reason was pay but now the dispute may be over without more increases to salary levels. The Government has instead made an offer to do something about the other big issue for early career doctors - working conditions and specialist training places. David Aaronovitch and guests discuss what's going on and ask what the problem is with the way we in Britain train our doctors?Guests: Hugh Pym, BBC Health Editor Sir Andrew Goddard, Consultant Gastroenterologist Professor Martin McKee, Professor of European Public Health, London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine Mark Dayan, Policy Analyst, Nuffield Trust.Presenter: David Aaronovitch Producers: Caroline Bayley, Kirsteen Knight, Cordelia Hemming Production Co-ordinator: Maria Ogundele Sound Engineers: Michael Regaard, Gareth Jones Editor: Richard Vadon

Lisa Louise McKenzie (born March 1968) is a British anarchist and senior lecturer at the University of Bedfordshire whose work relates to class inequality, social justice, and British working class culture. She was active in the Class War party.Dr Lisa McKenzieSenior Lecturer in SociologyLisa McKenzieAs a researcher and an educator I am keen to develop research proposals, community collaborations and student projects focusing upon class inequality using a collaborative ethnographic approach. I am particularly interested in how research, teaching and community engagement can collaborate in paradigms of social justice through the use of higher education, and innovative research methodology.My research interests are the continuation and development of research proposals focusing upon class inequality and council estates within the UK. This especially relates to those communities who are presently living through a period of adversity, as the consequences of the UK's austerity measures have major impacts upon public services, housing and welfare entitlements.QualificationsPhD Sociology - University of NottinghamMA Research methods – University of NottinghamBSc Hons Sociology and Social Policy – University of NottinghamTeaching Expertise2019- Date – University of Durham – Assistant ProfessorConvener of Undergraduate modules – Self and Identity – Community Placement ModuleDissertation SupervisorPost-Graduate Supervisor Masters and PhDExternal Examiner: Limerick University Ireland Masters in Youth and Community Service.2017-2019 Middlesex University: Lecturer in Practical SociologyConvener of 1st Year Undergraduate Module ‘Doing Things Together'Convener of 3rd Year Undergraduate module ‘Social Movements, Social Change'2013- 2017: London School of EconomicsConvener of MSC Class, Politics, CultureConvener of PhD Working Group, teaching on Under-Graduate and Masters programmes2005 -2013 : School of Sociology, University of NottinghamLecturer in SociologyUnder-graduate personal tutor, promoting and safeguarding the health welfare and safety of students2008- 2010: Part time lecture and tutor School of Social sciences, The Nottingham Trent University: Collaborated with module convener in devising, and writing lectures for ‘Youth Transitions and Education', wrote and gave four out of ten lectures, and lead weekly seminar groups.Part-Time Tutor; Access to Nursing, and Social Science at The Castle College Nottingham; Lecture, and teach sociology on the Access to Nursing course, marking essays, giving one to one tutorials.

In this special episode, I'm pulling back the curtain on the explosive rise of the London School of Tantra and shares the behind-the-scenes truth of what it really takes to walk the tantric path. This intimate conversation leads you directly into her new private audio series, The Secret Diary of a Tantrica an exclusive 5 episode journey into desire, devotion, heartbreak, orgasms, energy, and erotic aliveness.If you've ever wondered what actually happens on the path of a modern tantrica… this episode is your invitation.

The Magdalena River has been the central artery of Colombia's history: it was the path of colonization as well as of commercial circulation linking the coast to the interior. But it was also the site and product of racialized violence from slavery to the Colombian armed conflict in the 20th century, when parts of the Magdalena became almost synonymous with paramilitary violence and the river itself was declared a victim of the armed conflict. The paramilitaries demobilized in 2005 and then peace was signed with the FARC guerrillas in 2016; shortly after,a state-backed megaproject was announced that would transform the waterway into a logistics corridor, linking the logics of security and circulation with those of pacification. Our guest today, Austin Zeiderman, is the author of Artery: Racial Ecologies on Colombia's Magdalena River. While Zeiderman may have originally set out to study a logistics corridor, what he found was an even richer study about the historical and contemporary co-production of race, capital and space along the country's central fluvial artery. An anthropologist and geographer, Zeiderman applies an ethnographer's approach to the situated practices both ofpower and resistance. He takes us close to the companies managing the logistics sector, their actuarial logics of security and risk, and imperatives of circulation. At the same time, Austin details the life inside a tow-boat, the way gender, race and labor have historically interacted from the old bogas boats to the present day, and the way tacit knowledge resists the fungibility of racialized labor even today. We are a podcast about cities, and precisely for this reason, I wanted to highlight the invisible labor that circulates goods and fuels in and out of our urban hubs, which more often than not, have turned their backs on their nearest ports.  Books like Austin's – which center the long lives of logistics and their embeddedness in what Austin calls “geo-racial regimes” – are indispensable for understanding the broader forces which shape Latin American cities. Austin Zeiderman is Professor of Geography in the Department of Geography and Environment at the London School of Economics. He is an interdisciplinary scholar who specializes in the social and political dimensions of urbanization and the environment in Latin America, and holds a PhD in Anthropology from Stanford University.My cohost is Robinson Markus. Robbie is a PhD student in urban planning at UCLA, has a masters in Sociology from LSE, and studies the intersections between housing and climate change in Latin America. Keep in mind that Robbie's audio had some difficulties, so we don't hear as much from him as we should have!

Die Philosophin weiß, was es bedeutet, wenn Gewissheiten verschwinden. Als Jugendliche erlebte sie in Albanien das Ende des Kommunismus und den Zusammenbruch staatlicher Strukturen. Ihr literarisches Debüt „Frei“ wurde ein Bestseller und gerade ist ihr neues Buch „Aufrecht“ erschienen. Als Professorin für politische Theorie an der London School of Economics denkt Lea Ypi größer und grundsätzlicher als andere nach über die Herausforderungen unserer Zeit. Sie beklagt die Ungleichheit, die der Neoliberalismus erzeugt und was das für unsere Gesellschaften bedeutet. Sie wünscht sich ein neues politisches Projekt, das nicht auf die Stärke des einzelnen Staates setzt, sondern auf Zusammenarbeit und gleiche Rechte für alle. Bei FREIHEIT DELUXE diskutieren Jagoda Marinić und Lea Ypi darüber, warum Menschen an der Demokratie zweifeln, welche Anziehungskraft eine von Krisen geschwächte EU noch hat, dass Grenzen nur für bestimmte Menschen gelten und warum Angst beim Schreiben von Literatur ein wichtiger Faktor ist. Hier hört ihr… was die wahre Bedeutung von Freiheit ist (5:17) warum viele Ostdeutsche nicht an die Demokratie glauben (12:06) warum die Vorstellung vom Nationalstaat ein Mythos ist (23:57) dass die EU ein neues politisches Projekt braucht (44:42) was die Berliner Mauer und die Grenze zwischen Mexiko und den USA unterscheidet (51:51) dass die Erzählung vom kriminellen Migranten die wahren Probleme ausblendet (1:00:29) warum Literatur zu schreiben so schwer ist und warum sie es trotzdem tut (1:08:49) Liebe Freiheit-Deluxe-Community, uns gibt es jetzt schon eine ganze Weile: 100 Folgen von Freiheit Deluxe werden es bald sein. Danke dafür! Und es sollen noch mehr werden. Nach dieser gemeinsamen Zeit wüssten die Redaktion und ich gerne ein bisschen mehr über Euch.

Stijn Schmitz welcomes Adrian Day to the show. Adrian Day is CEO of Adrian Day Asset Management & Manager of EuroPacific Gold Fund. In this in-depth conversation about precious metals and commodities, Day provides a comprehensive analysis of the current gold and broader investment landscape. Day remains highly bullish on gold, arguing that all fundamental drivers supporting gold’s recent rise remain intact. He highlights central bank purchasing, currency debasement concerns, and potential future Federal Reserve policies as key factors. While acknowledging gold’s recent price movements, he believes the market is far from reaching its peak and anticipates significant potential for further appreciation. Discussing the generalist investor market, Day notes that North American investors have historically maintained low gold allocations, typically around 2%. He suggests that as economic conditions become more favorable—including lower interest rates, weakening dollar, and increased market volatility—more generalist investors may enter the gold market. Regarding commodities, Day provides nuanced insights into potential investment cycles. He cautions against broadly labeling current trends a “super-cycle” but believes most commodity complexes are undervalued relative to financial assets. He emphasizes the importance of differentiating between individual commodities and focusing on sectors with potential supply constraints, specifically highlighting copper, uranium, and oil as promising areas. Day also discusses gold mining stocks, arguing that despite recent price increases, many large mining companies remain attractively valued. He sees significant potential in mid-tier miners and believes valuations remain compelling, particularly as gold reserves are revalued at higher prices. On broader economic trends, Day discusses the gradual shift away from dollar dominance, noting that while the US dollar remains central to global trade, its proportion of global reserves and trade settlements is declining. He anticipates this trend could incrementally benefit gold as an alternative asset.

The philosopher knows what it means when certainties disappear. As a teenager in Albania, she experienced the end of communism and the collapse of state structures. Her literary debut, “Free“, became a bestseller, and her new book, “Indignity“ has just been published. As a professor of political theory at the London School of Economics, Lea Ypi thinks more broadly and fundamentally than others about the challenges of our time. She laments the inequality created by neoliberalism and what that means for our societies. She wants to see a new political project that does not rely on the strength of individual states, but on cooperation and equal rights for all. At FREIHEIT DELUXE Jagoda Marinić and Lea Ypi discuss why people doubt democracy, what appeal an EU weakened by crises still has, why borders only apply to certain people and why fear is an important factor in writing literature. Here you will hear... what the true meaning of freedom is (4:50) why many East Germans do not believe in democracy (10:48) why the idea of the nation state is a myth (23:37) that the EU needs a new political project (41:34) what distinguishes the Berlin Wall from the border between Mexico and the US (48:35) that the narrative of the criminal migrant obscures the real problems (56:46) why writing literature is so difficult and why she does it anyway (1:04:27) FREEDOM DELUXE with Jagoda Marinić is a Hessischer Rundfunk production in cooperation with the German Publishers and Booksellers Association.

Read the full transcript here. Are we going to solve climate change with technology rather than personal sacrifice? If most offsets fail on additionality, should we stop pretending they meaningfully cut emissions? Can policy push dollars into the hard stuff - steel, cement, shipping, aviation - where tech is still nascent? Will clean-firm power unlock a reliable, land-light grid? Do early adopters and advanced market commitments move markets faster than lifestyle campaigns? What mix of R&D, loans, tax credits, procurement, and permitting reform actually drives costs down the curve? How should we weigh “central” damage estimates against fat-tail risks? If $1 can avert a ton while society pays ~$200 in harm, are we underinvesting by orders of magnitude? Can corporate climate action shift from PR offsets to catalytic demand for green steel and concrete? Where should donors place bets when global coordination stalls and national politics swing? Dan Stein champions evidence-based approaches to fight the climate crisis while leading Giving Green as founder and executive director, and serving as a senior advisor to IDinsight. He previously held the position of Chief Economist at IDinsight and worked as an Economist at the World Bank. He holds a Ph.D. in Economics from the London School of Economics and a BA from UC Berkeley.

On 10 December 2025, Australia will become the first country in the world to ban under-16s from using social media apps.Children will have their accounts deactivated on most platforms including TikTok, Instagram, Snapchat, X, and Facebook.Critics say the ban could push children to unregulated platforms, but prime minister Anthony Albanese argues the new law is to safeguard vulnerable members of society. World leaders are watching with interest.Politicians from the UK, Denmark, Greece and France have all suggested tighter controls could be coming soon.New Zealand's government wants tougher rules too, and public debates are also beginning in Japan and Indonesia.This week on The Inquiry we're asking: Will Australia's social media ban start a global trend?Contributors: Terry Flew, Professor of digital communication and culture at the University of Sydney, Australia Sonia Livingstone, Professor in the department of media and communications at the London School of Economics, United Kingdom Lisa Given, Professor of information sciences at RMIT University in Melbourne, Australia Jessica Galissaire, senior policy researcher at Interface, FrancePresenter and Producer: Daniel Rosney Researcher: Evie Yabsley Production Management Assistant: Liam Morrey Technical producer: James Bradshaw Editor: Tom Bigwood(Photo credit: David Gray/AFP via Getty Images)

In the 1970s, long before “Made in China” became inescapable, a series of seemingly small diplomatic and trade decisions quietly rewrote the global economic order. What began as symbolic textile imports and geopolitical chess moves ended up hollowing out American manufacturing, lifting hundreds of millions of Chinese out of poverty, and creating the interdependent yet tense superpower rivalry we live with today. Elizabeth O'Brien Ingleson is a historian specializing in the histories of capitalism, US-China relations, and US foreign relations. She is also an Associate Professor at the International History Department at the London School of Economics, co-organizer of the LSE-Tufts Seminar in Contemporary International History, and Author of Made in China: When US-China Interests Converged to Transform Global Trade.

SummaryNick Cohen and Professor Alan Manning - economist and one of the country's leading experts on immigration - discuss the impact of immigration on Western democracies, including its role in recent and upcoming elections, as well as the resurgence of right-wing movements driven by immigration-related fears. Alan Manning, a professor at the London School of Economics, explains the complexities of immigration policy and the challenges of balancing migration capacity with global inequality. Nick and Alan discuss various policy approaches, including temporary protection measures and the need for international cooperation, while criticising overly simplistic solutions and highlighting the importance of realistic immigration policies.Political charlatans such as Nigel Farage mis-sold Brexit claiming it would help the uK "take back control" of its borders. Ironically, they may helped helped create huge increases in net immigration in recent years, as well as encourage the small boats bringing asylum seekers across the Channel from France. Now the same political grifters are relentlessly campaigning on the issue of immigration to get votes and win power. It's time to explain the issues driving immigration and explode the myths of immigration, rather than exploit them.Read all about it!Professor Alan Manning - @alanmanning4 formerly Chairman of UK's Migration Advisory Committee has been investigating the issue for his new book, Why Immigration Policy Is Hard: And How to Make It Better is published by PolityNick Cohen's @NickCohen4 latest Substack column Writing from London on politics and culture from the UK and beyond.

This is a free preview of a paid episode. To hear more, visit wisdomofcrowds.liveA few years ago, Lea Ypi was scrolling through Facebook when she came across a family photo she had never seen before. Someone had discovered a photograph of Ypi's grandparents on their honeymoon and posted it on a public Facebook group. Ypi — a philosophy professor from Albania who teaches at the London School of Economics — was dismayed by the comments on the photograph, which ranged from inaccurate to judgmental to just plain mean. Were the husband and wife in this photo Albanian aristocrats? Fascist collaborators? Victims of Communism? Responding to the trolls — as well as, as she puts it, “taking the trolls seriously” — Ypi decided to write a book reconstructing her grandparents' story. The result is Indignity: A Life Reimagined, a book which asks, among other things, what does human dignity really mean? What makes this book even more interesting is that Ypi's grandparents lived through some of the most dramatic moments in the twentieth century: the fall of the Ottoman Empire, the rise of Fascism, and World War II. Ypi joins Damir and Santiago, who want to understand Ypi's own philosophical priors. Damir wants to know where moral responsibility ends and and the structural forces of history begin. Santiago asks whether dignity, as a concept, has a metaphysical foundation. The result is a wide-ranging conversation that covers history, literature, philosophy and more.In our bonus section for paid subscribers, Santiago asks Ypi about the difference between Fascist and Communist decision-making; Damir presses Ypi on the question of free will; Ypi discusses her two-point prescription for a better Europe; Santiago asks Ypi whether it's hard to write about one's country in a foreign language; and finally, Ypi's hot take on Zohran Mamdani.Required Reading:* Lea Ypi, Indignity: A Life Reimagined (Amazon). * Lea Ypi, Free: Coming of Age at the End of History (Amazon). * Immanuel Kant, Groundwork for the Metaphysics of Morals (Amazon). * Friedrich Schiller, On the Aesthetic Education of Man (Amazon).

Doce buques de guerra, incluyendo el portaaviones más grande del mundo y al menos 4.000 soldados de la marina reunidos en una operación que se ha diseñado - en principio - para luchar contra el narcotráfico, pero que pone en jaque a Colombia, México y sobre todo Venezuela. La operación “Lanza del Sur” es actualmente el despliegue militar estadounidense más grande que se haya visto en América Latina desde los tiempos de la  Guerra Fría.  Su objetivo – al menos en el discurso oficial -  es luchar contra el narcotráfico en la región del Caribe, aunque sus detractores temen que se trate de una invasión inminente a Venezuela al estilo de la que se desarrolló en Panamá en 1989 y que derrocó a Manuel Noriega. Por ahora, Washington ha completado más de 20 ataques a las llamadas narcolanchas causando al menos 83 muertos… ataques que  se mantienen en aguas internacionales. No ha habido, de momento, una operación terrestre pero Donald Trump ha anunciado este jueves que comenzarán “muy pronto”. Analizamos este tema con cuatro invitados especiales:   Pascal Drouhaud, analista internacional y presidente de la Asociación Francia- América Latina y el Caribe Karen Laverde,  profesora de Derecho y Relaciones Internacionales Luis Alejandro Ávila,  investigador del Instituto Francés de Geopolítica Gaspard Estrada, miembro de la Unidad Sur Global de la London School of Economics También contamos con la intervención de nuestro corresponsal en Caracas, Víctor Amaya.   En esta edición observamos la amplitud de la operación “Lanza del Sur”, iniciada por Estados Unidos con una movilización de al menos 12 buques de guerra, un submarino y el portaaviones más grande del mundo, el USS Gerald Ford. ¿Se justifica esa maniobra o es desproporcionada? También analizamos la legalidad de los ataques a más de 20 embarcaciones que – presuntamente – transportaban droga hacia territorio estadounidense. ¿Qué dice la ley en casos como este? ¿Se trata efectivamente de una violación al  derecho internacional?      Coordinación editorial:  Florencia Valdés  Realización: Robin Cussenod, Yann Bourdelas, Vanessa Loiseau Presenta: Andreína Flores

This week delivered one of the biggest waves of AI news in recent memory - and Dan and Ray unpack what it all means for schools, universities and vocational education. From Microsoft's upcoming Copilot upgrades to Google's jaw-dropping Gemini 3 and Nano Banana Pro image model, the landscape for teachers shifted fast. They explore how these tools are already reshaping lesson design, image generation, student support and academic workflows - and why NotebookLM might quietly be the most important education tool Google has ever released. They also break down newly released case studies from the Australian Industry Group, discuss Claude's expansion through Azure, and look at how sectors like health, logistics and vocational training are adopting AI at speed. In the second half, the episode dives into three significant peer-reviewed research papers - including new evidence of gender bias in AI explanations, emerging AI-pedagogy frameworks, and fresh insights into how students actually use (and feel about) AI in their studies.

The Hoover History Lab and its Applied History Working Group in close partnership with the Global Policy and Strategy Initiative held The Arsenal of Democracy Technology, Industry, and Deterrence in an Age of Hard Choices on Thursday, November 20, 2025, from 4:00 PM - 5:15 PM PT. The event featured the authors Eyck Freymann, Hoover Fellow, and Harry Halem, Senior Fellow at Yorktown Institute, in conversation with Stephen Kotkin, Kleinheinz Family Senior Fellow. The US military stands at a moment of profound risk and uncertainty. China and its authoritarian partners have pulled far ahead in defense industrial capacity. Meanwhile, emerging technologies are reshaping the character of air and naval warfare and putting key elements of the US force at risk. To prevent a devastating war with China, America must rally its allies to build a new arsenal of democracy. But achieving this goal swiftly and affordably involves hard choices. The Arsenal of Democracy is the first book to integrate military strategy, industrial capacity, and budget realities into a comprehensive deterrence framework. While other books explain why deterrence matters, this book provides the detailed roadmap for how America can actually sustain deterrence through the 2030s—requiring a whole-of-nation effort with coordinated action across Congress, industry, and allied governments. Rapidly maturing technologies are already reshaping the battlefield: unmanned systems on air, land, sea, and undersea; advanced electronic warfare; space-based sensing; and more. Yet China's industrial strengths could give it advantages in a protracted conflict. The United States and its allies must both revitalize their industrial bases to achieve necessary production scale and adapt existing platforms to integrate new high-tech tools. FEATURING Eyck Freymann is a Hoover Fellow at Stanford University and a Non-Resident Research Fellow at the U.S. Naval War College, China Maritime Studies Institute. He works on strategies to preserve peace and protect U.S. interests and values in an era of systemic competition with China. He is the author of several books, including The Arsenal of Democracy: Technology, Industry, and Deterrence in an Age of Hard Choices, with Harry Halem, and One Belt One Road: Chinese Power Meets the World. His scholarly work has appeared in The China Quarterly and is forthcoming in International Security.  Harry Halem is a Senior Fellow at Yorktown Institute. He holds an MA (Hons) in Philosophy and International Relations from the University of St Andrews, and an MSc in Political Philosophy from the London School of Economics.  Mr. Halem worked for the Hudson Institute's Seapower Center, along with multiple UK think-tanks.  He has published a variety of short-form pieces and monographs on various aspects of military affairs, in addition to a short book on Libyan political history. Stephen Kotkin is the Kleinheinz Family Senior Fellow at the Hoover Institution as well as a senior fellow at Stanford's Freeman Spogli Institute for International Studies. He is also the Birkelund Professor in History and International Affairs emeritus at the Princeton School of Public and International Affairs (formerly the Woodrow Wilson School), where he taught for 33 years. He earned his PhD at the University of California–Berkeley and has been conducting research in the Hoover Library & Archives for more than three decades. Kotkin's research encompasses geopolitics and authoritarian regimes in history and in the present.

Everyone loves a good evolutionary puzzle. Why do we have appendices? Why do we dream? Why do we blush? At first glance, memory would not be in this category. It's clearly useful to remember stuff, after all—to know where to find food, to remember your mistakes so you don't repeat them, to recall who's friendly and who's fierce. In fact, though, certain aspects of memory—when you hold them up to the light—turn out to be quite puzzling indeed. My guests today are Dr. Ali Boyle and Dr. Johannes Mahr. Ali is a philosopher at the London School of Economics (LSE); Johannes is a philosopher at York University, in Toronto. Both have written extensively about the functions of memory, and, in particular, about the functions of episodic memory—that capacity for calling up specific events and experiences from our own lives.  Here, Ali, Johannes and I lay out the textbook taxonomy of memory, and discuss how episodic memory has drawn the lion's share of philosophical interest. We pick apart the relationship between episodic memory and another major type of long-term memory, semantic memory. We sketch a range of different accounts of the evolved functions of episodic memory, including Johannes's proposal that episodic memory serves communication and Ali's proposal that it fuels semantic memory. And, finally, we consider what this all means for our understanding of memory in children and in animals. Along the way, we touch on Highly Superior Autobiographical Memory, infantile amnesia, evidential systems in language, imagination, "simulationist" theories of episodic memory, what it feels like to remember, collective memory, the hippocampus, cryptomnesia, and the cow's digestive system as a metaphor for memory.  If you're enjoying Many Minds, you might consider leaving us a rating or review on your platform of choice, or maybe giving us a shout-out on social media.

It's the BMJ's annual climate issue - and in this episode, we'll be hearing about more ways in which climate mitigation is good for health.   Firstly, climate change is fuelling conflict, and exacerbating the impact it has on fragile healthcare systems. Andy Haines, from the London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine, and Barbora Sedova, from Potsdam Institute for Climate Impact Research, discuss how climate and conflict intersect, and what they think needs to be done to combat it.   “Car spreading”, the recent tendency for cars to become bigger and heavier is not only harming the climate, but it's also harming pedestrians.  Anthony Laverty, associate professor of public health at Imperial College London, and trauma surgeon Cleo Kenington explain why SUVs are more lethal in accidents, and why France is bucking the trend in sales.   Finally, Jocalyn Clark, the BMJ's international editor joins us to talk about women's health innovation and why tech bros aren't the people to be leading it.   Reading list:   The climate issue: Brazil and the climate crisis   Tackling the complex links between climate change, conflict, and health   Reducing the harms from ever larger cars   Transforming women's health through innovation

Wife and mother, author, editor, playwright, political activist, war journalist, Congresswoman, ambassador, pundit, and feminist—Luce did it all. Carefully placing Luce in a series of shifting historical contexts, this book offers the reader an insight into mid-century American political, cultural, gender, and foreign relations history. Eleven primary sources follow the text, including excerpts from Luce's diary, letters, speeches, and published works, as well as a TV talk-show appearance and a critic's diary entry describing an evening with her, helping readers to understand her fascinating life. Together, the narrative and documents afford readers a brief yet in-depth look at Luce with all her complications: glamorous intellectual, acid-tongued diplomat, and feminist conservative, she was a deeply flawed high-achiever who repeatedly challenged the entrenched sexism of her age to become a significant actor in the rise of the “American Century.” Addressing the neglect suffered by women in foreign relations history, this will be of interest to students and scholars of US foreign relations, 20th-century US history, and US women's history.

In this episode, I talk with Julia Middleton, founder of Women Emerging, about how women everywhere are redefining what it means to lead. Julia shares how her global “expeditions” help women discover their own authentic way of leading and introduces her Four E's framework — Essence, Elements, Expression, and Energy. We explore why traditional models of leadership don't always fit women, how to lead in alignment with who you are, and the courage it takes to lead your way in systems not designed for you.

Palden Jenkin in conversation with David Eastaugh  https://penwithbeyond.blog/about/ https://www.palden.co.uk/podcasts.html About Palden I was born in Hartfield in the Ashdown Forest in Sussex in 1950, in a nursing home which not long before had been the American Generals' HQ in Britain in WW2. A fine start. I grew up in 1950s Cardiff, Wales, and in 1960s Liverpool, and here my spiritual path began at age 16, tripping out on acid and beginning to see things in an entirely dfferent way. Went to university at the London School of Economics in 1969 during its time of revolution. I never looked back. This was the big change-point in my life, which set the course for all the rest of it. In today's terminology I was radicalised, thereafter dedicating my life to world change, and personal change with it, though very much tied up with it. Later I lived in the mountains of Snowdonia, Wales, then I had to leave the country in 1974, regarded by the authorities and media as a traitor and even a murderer, to live in Sweden until 1980. I'm really grateful for the safety and healing Sweden gave me. I married a Swedish lady, Berit, and we had two kids and many adventures, partly in Stockholm and partly in the forest in northern Uppland. There, as an English teacher of political refugees, inadvertently I started my later humanitarian work, in which I came to specialise in trauma recovery, social reconstruction and freelance intelligence work in conflict zones. During that time, after seven years' study, I became an astrologer. Since then I have counselled a few thousand people, writing three astrology books and founding the astrology camps in the 1980s. But I didn't easily fit into Sweden and, when I found out I was exonerated of my former alleged crimes, I returned to Britain. This involved a painful end to my marriage and the loss of two children. I landed in Glastonbury and I cried my eyes out with grief for two years in men's groups and therapy groups. This was a big change too, opening me up for something. Then came my instructions and I came alive again. In 1983-84 I started the UK camps movement – first with indoor gatherings in Glastonbury, then with summer camps, at first near Glastonbury, and later round the country. The Glastonbury Camps, spontaneously started and lasting three years, were followed from 1987 by the OakDragon Camps, from both of which many other camps organisations sprouted, in several countries.   By 1990 I was burned out, and there were quite a few people in the OakDragon who wanted to take things a different way. So, sad about that, I left and started again. I  went into book editing with an enlightened publisher called Gateway Books. In 1992 when I was asked to write The Only Planet of Choice – a book of communications from some cosmic beings called the Council of Nine. It was a privilege to write. I was also involved with editing a series of books by and about the Austrian genius Viktor Schauberger, and five books of alternative ideas about Jesus, and lots of other books too, through the 1990s.

Rabbi Jonathan Sacks believed that, out of the science of positive psychology, and in conversation with cognitive behavioral therapy, a new Musar movement could be established. In this episode of the Tradition Podcast, Tamra Wright and Mordechai Schiffman begin to unpack what this might mean in light of their co-authored essay “Radical Resilience: Hope, Agency and Community,” from TRADITION's recent special issue on the intellectual legacy of Rabbi Jonathan Sacks. They are joined for the conversation by that volume's co-editor, Samuel Lebens. Together, our three guests explore the relationship between hope, agency, and community; they consider whether Rabbi Sacks was unduly harsh on optimists; and discuss why he placed more faith upon philosophically inspired psychology than upon the main contemporary schools of academic philosophy. What does it mean for Torah to be in conversation with a science like psychology? What does it mean for students of a rabbi to turn their critical gaze towards their late teacher, who now becomes an object of their ongoing research? Watch a video recording of this conversation.

Rabbi Dr. Mordechai Schiffman is an assistant professor at Yeshiva University's Azrieli Graduate School and the associate rabbi at Kingsway Jewish Center. Dr. Tamra Wright is a Senior Research Fellow at the London School of Jewish Studies. Rabbi Dr. Samuel Lebens is an associate professor of philosophy at the University of Haifa.
