Description
In this episode, Bob and Scott talk with Giuseppe Acconcia, a professor of Middle Eastern Studies at the Universita di Padova. We discuss the ongoing impact of COVID in Italy, Chinese and Cuban assistance while Europe sat on its hands, and especially the way that this pandemic will have an impact in the Middle East and North Africa, areas with less development and greater poverty, which are sure to be hit harder, and in war-torn areas like Syria, Yemen, and Libya, which will see catastrophic consequences. Professor Acconcia is a frequent media presence in Italy talking about these issues and is the author of many books, including The Great Iran, translated into English by the University of Padua Press in 2018.
