Description

Moises Naim on The Revenge of Power: How Autocrats Are Reinventing Politics
The former Venezuelan trade minister who lived through Chavez wrecking his country has worked out something like the Autocratic Genome Project. What's alarming is that these clever thugs are learning from each other. Plus, the second guilty verdict for Ahmaud Arbery's killers and do sanctions ever really work?
Produced by Joel Patterson and Corey Wara
