    Description

    The recent attempt on the life of Slovakian Prime Minister Robert Fico raises questions for Adam and Cameron. Do political assassinations mainly occur in advanced economies? Do they tend to bring about change or reinforce the status quo? And what does it cost to hire a hit man?
    Also on the show: The economics of holiday grilling.

    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.
