Lost Debate

Recession Risk, Tariff Takes, Class v. Race


Listen Later

As Trump’s sweeping tariffs continue to spark chaos and backlash nationwide, Ravi delivers a blistering breakdown of the administration’s latest moves and the economic risks they’ve created. He challenges the populist rhetoric behind the trade war, exposes the political theater driving the latest policies, and explains what Trump’s getting wrong about jobs, immigration, and manufacturing.


Then, Richard Kahlenberg returns to the pod to discuss his new book, Class Matters. Ravi and Richard examine what’s changed - and what hasn’t - since the Supreme Court struck down affirmative action. They also talk about the role of legacy admissions, the case for class-based college admissions, and what a more equitable future for higher education could look like.
