Arnaud Bertrand returns to discuss the Israeli and U.S. war with Iran. The 12-day conflict settled into an uneasy ceasefire this week. Arnaud and I explore the origins of conflict with Iran. We also reflect on how successful each side was in achieving its war aims. In the second part of the podcast, Arnaud and I discuss Thomas Piketty’s economic research report “Colonial extraction and unequal exchange have shaped two centuries of North-South inequality”.
