Adam Tooze returns to PTO to discuss the key causal factors that allowed fascism to emerge in the early twentieth century and whether conditions that would enable fascism on the interwar model exist today. We also talked about whether describing the Bolsanaros, the Le Pens and the Orbans of this world as fascist may be analytically wrong but tactically effective, and about how close the Latin American dictatorships of the 1970s and 80s are to the fascist model.

‘Polycrisis', a relatively new term, was in the air at the World Economic Forum's Annual Meeting in January, where people were discussing the intertwined global issues of war, economic uncertainty, inflation, recession and the climate crisis, among others. But does that word really tell us anything new about the world we live in and the challenges we face? Historian Adam Tooze tells us about the origins of the term and of the polycrisis itself.   Adam Tooze is Professor of History at the University of Columbia in New York. He is also host of Foreign Policy's weekly economics podcast Ones and Tooze, and the author of books including Crashed: How a Decade of Financial Crises Changed the World and, most recently, Shutdown: How Covid Shook the World's Economy.   Links: Episode page: https://www.weforum.org/podcasts/radio-davos/episodes/polycrisis-adam-tooze   Related podcast episodes:   https://www.weforum.org/podcasts/radio-davos/episodes/ukraine-inflation-and-pandemics-the-big-issues-coming-up-at-davos-according-to-historian-adam-tooze   https://www.weforum.org/podcasts/radio-davos/episodes/global-risks-report-davos2023   Subscribe: Subscribe on any platform: https://pod.link/150468 Join the World Economic Forum Podcast Club

China's rise to economic powerhouse and plan for global domination foreshadows a greater decline for America. The truth is, China is only getting started, and America is making it easy.    As part of my executive MBA, I got to hear directly from a Chinese official how China perceives itself, how it views America, and what the country is planning to do to extend and grow its global influence.   What he shared was not only telling, but also very concerning for America.    China believes that the West is bankrupt, and that our system deserves to be liquidated. What does that mean for the economic future of America? Why are we responsible for our own economic decline?    In today's episode, I talk about China's real plan, and why it's a huge cause for concern.

Everyone desperately wants to know what the post-pandemic world will look like. Adam Tooze has been thinking hard about it and he thinks he knows.  Comparing the US experience to China's, he notes how cultural and political differences have determined successes and failures in dealing with the unprecedented challenge of COVID-19. Tooze argues that, like soldiers returning from mortal combat, we are suffering from a kind of national — and even global — PTSD. Tooze, Columbia University history and economics professor is the author of Shutdown: How Covid Shook the World's Economy. My WhoWhatWhy conversation with Adam Tooze::  

According to the FAO Food Price Index, the cost of food has surged in real terms to levels last seen in the 1970s - during the Great Inflation. But another data set, by the OECD shows no such surge at all. What's going on? Is there a food price crisis, or not?

The shocks of 2020 have been great and small, disrupting the world economy, international relations and the daily lives of virtually everyone on the planet. Never before has the entire world economy contracted by 20 percent in a matter of weeks nor in the historic record of modern capitalism has there been a moment in which 95 percent of the world's economies were suffering all at the same time. Across the world hundreds of millions have lost their jobs. And over it all looms the specter of pandemic, and death. Our guest this weekend, Adam Tooze, brings his analytical and narrative skills to a panoramic and synthetic overview of our current crisis. In Shutdown: How Covid Shook the World's Economy, he sets the pandemic story in a frame that casts a sobering new light on how unprepared the world was to fight the crisis, and how deep the ruptures in our way of living and doing business are.  Have a money question?

In this episode, co-hosts Natalie Smith and Maxximilian Seijo argue that the pandemic not only killed neoliberalism as a tacit ideological formation; it also revealed how neoliberal truisms have never captured the actual causal mechanisms and potentials that defined the past 50 years. Fleshing out these claims, Naty and Maxx journey through the work of rockstar economic historian Adam Tooze, focusing in particular on his widely-hailed recent book, Shutdown: How Covid Shook the World's Economy (2021). Naty and Maxx affirm Tooze's characteristically thorough demonstration of the myriad ways that the world-wide response to the pandemic, however inadequate, dismantled the pillars of neoliberal governance. Yet they also critique the elitist complicity of Tooze's methodological commitment to historical immanence and inevitability, tracing such impulses to back to John Maynard Keynes' fatal dismissal of Abba Lerner's proposal to do away with balanced budgets and revenue-constraints. For the Superstructure crew, by contrast, proceeding “in medias res,” as Tooze puts it, requires an abolitionist attunement to genuine conditions of injustice and possibility, from #Defund and ongoing labor strikes to contests over #MintTheCoin and the Green New Deal. During the conversation, wisecracks and burns abound, per usual. This one, too, is packed with citations, including loving shoutouts to David Stein, Jakob Feinig, Mariame Kaba, Dan Berger, Emily Hobson, Alex Yablon, Nathan Tankus, and Rohan Grey.

We're back from our summer break with David, Helen and Adam Tooze exploring what the pandemic has revealed about politics, economics and the new world order. From Covid crisis to China crisis to climate crisis: how does it all fit together? And what comes next? Adam's new book is Shutdown: How Covid Shook the World's Economy. Plus David talks about his new book based on series one of History of Ideas: Confronting Leviathan. Talking Points:The term ‘lockdown' can be misleading. Many aspects of the response were not top-down.Most of the reduction in mobility predated government mandate.The financial markets made huge moves and central banks then had to step in.The popular response cannot be separated from the actions of the state.The term ‘shutdown' better captures the pandemic's impact on the economy.Huge parts of the productive economy literally ground to a halt. It seems like central banks learned something from the last crisis.Is there still a realistic prospect of normalization? Adam and Helen are skeptical. Is there such thing as democratic money?If so, then democracy has changed.The condition of possibility for the freedom of action of central bankers is a political vacuum.Parts of the left see an opportunity in monetary politics. The entire monetary order in China is political, but there was a debate within the regime over stimulus.The conservatives won out.Some Western financial leaders used this to push back against central bankers in their own countries. The Republican party is becoming increasingly incoherent.Some, such as Mnuchin, emphasize the structural necessity of some kind of continuity. Others, such as Jay Powell, argue that the priority is confronting China. There is an ongoing de-centering from the West in a dollar-based world. The U.S.-China competition has changed. We have moved from a realm of competition over GDP growth rates to a much starker contest involving hard power.The tech sanctions are a sovereignty issue, not just an economic issue.Mentioned in this Episode:Adam's new book, ShutdownJames Meadway on neoliberalismRudiger Dornbusch, Essays (1998/2001)Quinn Slobodian on right-wing globalistsPerry Anderson's review of Adam's work, and Adam's responseMarx's Capital Volume 1Helen's book, Oil and the Western Economic CrisisDaniela Gabor on macrofinance 

Author and Columbia University economist Adam Tooze talks to us about his bestselling new book, Shutdown: How Covid Shook the World's Economy. Read The Economist's review here

In his newly released book “The Age of Unpeace: How Connectivity causes Conflict” ECFR director Mark Leonard explains how many of the forces that we thought would bring us together have ended up driving us apart. Trade, technology, the internet, and travel were once promised to create a global village but have instead created an era of “unpeace”, where the distinctions between war and peace are breaking down. In this week's episode, Mark Leonard becomes the guest of his own podcast to talk with ECFR's Asia programme director Janka Oertel about the main themes of his book and particularly how China's growing role in this interconnected world poses threats for Europe.

“The world discovered that John Maynard Keynes was right when he declared during World War II that ‘anything we can actually do, we can afford,'” writes Adam Tooze. “Budget constraints don't seem to exist; money is a mere technicality. The hard limits of financial sustainability, policed, we used to think, by ferocious bond markets, were blurred by the 2008 financial crisis. In 2020, they were erased.”Tooze is an economic historian at Columbia University, co-hosts the podcast “Ones and Tooze,” writes the brilliant Chartbook blog and is the author of “Crashed,” the single best history of the 2008 financial crisis. He's now out with a new book, “Shutdown: How Covid Shook the World's Economy,” which tells the story of the unprecedented global economic response to the pandemic.The central thread of Tooze's work is how the past decade of crises has upended many of the core assumptions that have guided economic policymaking for the past 50 years — including ones that many contemporary economists and policymakers continue to cling to. So that's what we mainly talk about here. But we also discuss how the boundaries of acceptable thought in the economics profession are policed, the actual risk of runaway inflation, the limits of green monetary policy, the fight over Jerome Powell's reappointment as Fed chair, what the Covid crisis reveals about our ability to respond to the climate crisis, the need for a supply-side progressivism and more.Mentioned: “Declining worker power and American economic performance” by Anna Stansbury and Larry Summers “The green swan: Central banking and financial stability in the age of climate change”Book recommendations: The Deficit Myth by Stephanie KeltonStalingrad by Vasily GrossmanEssays in Persuasion by John Maynard KeynesYou can find transcripts (posted midday) and more episodes of "The Ezra Klein Show" at nytimes.com/ezra-klein-podcast, and you can find Ezra on Twitter @ezraklein.

In his new book “Shutdown: How Covid Shook the World's Economy,” historian Adam Tooze analyzes the different ways governments around the world responded to the pandemic and what their responses say about the way power works in the modern world. Synthesizing information from dozens of countries, Tooze traces various levels of economic interaction and their impacts “from main streets to central banks, from families to factories, from favelas to traders.” Tooze joins us to discuss “Shutdown” and share his thoughts on what we can learn from the pandemic when it comes to preparing for future global “polycrises.”

Sam and Emma host Adam Tooze, Professor of History at Columbia University and author of the Chartbook newsletter on Substack, to discuss his recent book Shutdown: How Covid Shook the World's Economy, tracing the development of the pandemic and its shockwaves from January 2020 to January 2021. Professor Tooze first reflects on the collective difficulty in processing those twelve months, and how he came to write this book, before he, Emma, and Sam jump all the way back to the start of last year and dive into the mistakes in the original response from the Chinese government, and the massive impact their eventual tactics had on their economy. Next, they reflect on the US's and much of Europe's near-immediate botching of their response, completely overshadowing any initial failures of Xi Jinping's regime and clearly expressing lacking elements of cultural consciousness in the US when it came to masks and social responsibility. Sam jumps on this element, exploring the relationship between cultural consciousness and experience when it comes to responding to pandemics, before they move on to discuss the role of minority media circles, driven by conspiracy, and Emma dives into the role of individualism and atomization in driving the individual skepticism that helps this catch fire. They wrap up the interview by looking back to parallels with the recovery from the 2008 financial crisis, looking at how the 2010 election saw an attempt to push the US back to normalcy and away from the redistribution and social welfare they had set up over the crisis, as well as the important reminder that aid to big businesses had not and would not stop over that time. Prof. Tooze uses this to emphasize the importance of investment in technology as a key was to move US culture forwards, looping in both climate and pandemic policy, before Sam and Emma conclude the free half with a CA recall discussion. And in the Fun Half: Nomiki joins Sam and Emma as they dive into the discourse on AOC's Met Gala appearance, following a brief but very necessary explanation of what it even is for Sam, taking on the elements of performativity, and where they stand, particularly when the performance, debatably, fell short. Next, they get a free Masterpiece lesson on journalism from karaoke journalist Michael Tracey (both in that he performs mostly for crowd engagement and that he uses a karaoke machine) on Covid regulations at Connecticut College, before Terrell from Conn College, calls in to give his own perspective. They also chat CA recall and what rhetoric Dems should push moving into the midterms, plus, your IMs! Become a member at JoinTheMajorityReport.com Subscribe to the AMQuickie newsletter here.

Our guest is Adam Tooze, a professor of history at Columbia University and the author of "Crashed," which was a New York Times Notable Book of 2018 and one of The Economist's Books of the Year. His timely new book, which he tells us about, mixes finance, politics, business, economics, medicine, and recent world history in order to trace what went wrong -- and why -- during the turning-point year that was 2020. This new book is "Shutdown: How Covid Shook the World's Economy." As was noted by Reuters: "Tooze makes a strong case for looking back and beginning to draw some conclusions.... His focus is the period that started with Chinese President Xi Jinping's public acknowledgement of the coronavirus outbreak on Jan. 20, 2020, and ended with U.S. President Joe Biden's inauguration exactly a year later. The scale and variety of what unfolded in the intervening days remains dizzying. Tooze lucidly organises these events in the book's 300 pages, while maintaining the sweeping perspective

Adam Tooze, professor of history at Columbia University and author of Shutdown: How Covid Shook the World's Economy and Crashed: How a Decade of Financial Crises Changed the World, joins The Realignment to discuss how Covid reshaped capitalism, geopolitics, the U.S. vs. China, and more...

We're now more than 18 months into the pandemic that most of us never thought could or would ever happen. Unlike anything else we've experienced in our lives, this virus affected the entire planet -- every person in every country at every far-flung corner of the earth. As far as I can surmise, this is the first time, at least in my lifetime, that the entire planet was sharing an experience... one that just won't end. The ramifications are enormous and largely still unknown. Adam Tooze, professor of history at Columbia University who was named by Foreign Policy magazine as one of the top Global Thinkers of the decade, joins us today. His new book, released just yesterday, is "Shutdown: How Covid Shook the World's Economy"

Adam Tooze joins PTO to talk about his new book, Shutdown: How Covid Shook the World's Economy. We talked about the problems and pitfalls of writing instant history, why 'shutdown' is a more useful way of thinking about how governments and ordinary people responded to the Covid19 crisis than 'lockdown'. And finally, we chatted about why China's radical efforts to suppress the virus in Wuhan, Hubei province and beyond was not as typical of the regime as is commonly supposed.

There have been far more lethal pandemics than Covid-19, but the scale of our response to Covid-19 is dramatically new. For the first time in human history, our civilization made a collective decision to shut much of the world economy down. Contemporary historian Adam Tooze helps us understand what happened, why it happened, and how we can learn from it.  Sign up for our new weekly newsletter, The Pitch: https://civicventures.substack.com/  Adam Tooze holds the Shelby Cullom Davis chair of History at Columbia University and serves as Director of the European Institute. In 2019, Foreign Policy Magazine named him one of the top Global Thinkers of the decade. His most recent book, Shutdown: How Covid Shook the World's Economy, is out now.

It's more than 10 years since the big global recession - we all remember 2008, right? But now the world's economy is pretty sluggish once again. So much so, that the UK economy is now on the brink of recession. And here in Canada, yeah, the economy is growing, but not at the same extent as we would have seen in the past few years. So why is this? And how does it impact us here in Canada? Guest: Matthew Stewart Director of National Forecasting and Analysis, Conference Board of Canada
