This wonderful, nearly ten minute tangent did not quite make its way into our latest episode. But we thought many of you would appreciate Cameron and Adam's Berliner discussion. So here's that whole segment as a bonus May Day special.

Bonus: Why is May Day so Violent in Berlin?

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.

Live From DC

As the Israel-Hamas war drags on, about half of the Palestinians in Gaza are on the brink of famine, and the other half are experiencing acute food insecurity. Adam and Cameron discuss how humanitarian aid works in a crisis zone and what it would take to rebuild Gaza.

Famine in Gaza

It will cost up to $3 billion to replace the Francis Scott Key Bridge in the U.S. city of Baltimore, Maryland, which collapsed last month after it was struck by a container ship. Adam and Cameron discuss the implications for the city of Baltimore, the insurance industry, and global shipping.
Also on the show: The economics of Tajikistan.

The Economics of a Bridge Disaster

To mark the Easter holiday, Adam and Cameron discuss the economic thinking of Pope Francis and how it strays from the traditional approach of the Catholic Church.
