Description

It's been 20 years since the U.S. invaded Iraq and the toll continues to mount. Hundreds of thousands died in the fighting and millions were displaced, when you count the ancillary wars that rippled across the region. Adam and Cameron focus their discussion this week on Iraq's economy, which was devastated by the war and has never fully recovered.

Foreign Policy economics columnist Adam Tooze, a history professor and a popular author, is encyclopedic about basically everything: from the COVID shutdown, to climate change, to pasta sauce. On our new podcast, Tooze and FP deputy editor Cameron Abadi will look at two data points each week that explain the world: one drawn from the week’s headlines and the other from just about anywhere else Tooze takes us.
