This summer on Planet Money Summer School, we're learning about political economy. We're getting

into the nitty-gritty of what government does with things like trade, taxes, immigration, and

healthcare. So politics and economics, which are taught separately, they shouldn't be separated at all.

Wherever you get, their podcasts.

From W.HYY in Philadelphia, this is Fresh Air Weekend.

I'm Tanya Mosley.

Today, Stacey Abrams.

She's known as a voting rights activist, former candidate for Georgia governor, and founder of Fair Fight Action.

But she's also a bestselling author and has a new novel, a thriller revolving around a former

Supreme Court clerk investigating a murder inside an AI company.

My approach whenever I write about a topic that's not my area of expertise, my mission is to

sound smart enough about it in the book that the layperson believes me and the expert respects me.

Also, we hear from musician and producer Raphael Sadiq.

He's known as a member of Tony, Tony, Tony, and as a solo artist.

He's produced and written for artists like Solange, DiAngelo, Beyonce, John Legend, and many more.

And Marine Corrigan recommends two summer nonfiction books.

That's coming up on Fresh Air Weekend.

Yeah, like arbitrage, alpha, autarchy.

That's just what's in the news these days.
