This week we bring you a live recording of Ones and Tooze, taped at the Caveat Theatre in New York City. The show begins with a segment on Adam himself—how he came to be an economic historian and what political and philosophical tenets underpin his writing. Cameron and Adam also discuss the malign influence of billionaire Peter Thiel on American politics, and the declining importance of Wall Street as a place to hang out your shingle.

Tooze Unplugged

Foreign Policy economics columnist Adam Tooze, a history professor and a popular author, is encyclopedic about basically everything: from the COVID shutdown, to climate change, to pasta sauce. On our new podcast, Tooze and FP deputy editor Cameron Abadi will look at two data points each week that explain the world: one drawn from the week’s headlines and the other from just about anywhere else Tooze takes us.
