Professor Daunton is a former president of the Royal Historical Society and author of The Economic Government of the World From 1933-2023. Topics Kimberly & Martin discuss include: Why considering the economic events of 1933 is necessary for understanding the multilateral policies and institutions that emerged out of World War II That food and labor security—not economic policies—were much more immediate concerns for policymakers in the first international conferences at the end of World War II How domestic considerations are imperative to successfully coordinate international economic policies Dealing with autocratic governments and increased populism when pursuing global economic governance How global institutions (particularly the IMF, World Bank, FAO, and WHO) can aid developing countries, rather than just perpetuate a global economic divide advantaging developed countries How China and Russia, along with the BRIICS bloc, impact global economic governance How resolving countries’ debt is unquestionably tied to tackling climate change The Politics Guys on Facebook | X Listener support helps make The Politics Guys possible.
