Summary

Anti-globalization sentiments underlie some of the populism shaping this presidential cycle. In this episode, we discuss trade and the absence of nuance in trade discussions (Note: if you're brand new to discussing trade, you might like to check out our bonus episode: Pantsuit Primer). In The Pearls, we talk about a few key senate races in 2016, the nuclear summit, and the release of the #PanamaPapers. Finally, we return to our very strong feelings about dessert.  Hosted on Acast.
