Einar Tangen: How Trump Achieved Nothing at the Trump-Xi Summit | GEH W/ Radhika Desai (opens the original)
Read excerpt
President Xi's visit to Washington produced almost nothing concrete. There was no progress on Taiwan, AI or the Iran war, just a trade truce extended to January. So why did Trump greet him at Andrews Air Force Base, something no American president has done for a foreign leader in 60 years? Einar Tangen argues the real outcome was symbolic but huge: the United States has finally had to accept China as a peer. We talk about how America got here, from the decline of its industrial capitalism to a p
Richard Murphy: The Fed Just Raised Interest Rates. Recession is next | GEH W/ Radhika Desai (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Kevin Warsh's first move as Federal Reserve Chair was to raise interest rates, and the establishment hailed it as proof of central bank independence. But what inflation is he fighting? Professor Richard Murphy, founder of the Tax Justice Network, joins me to explain why today's price rises come from war-driven shocks to energy and food, not excess demand, and why higher rates will only push us toward recession. Murphy argues that central bank independence is a sham, that NAIRU makes unemployment
KJ Noh: Will South Korea Go To War With Iran To Appease Trump? | GEH W/ Radhika Desai (opens the original)
Read excerpt
For the first time in its history, South Korea has refused a US demand to send troops to an American war. This is the same country that sent over 300,000 soldiers to fight in the Vietnam War. Regular guest K.J. Noh joins me to explain what is behind President Lee Jae Myung's refusal to join Trump's war on Iran. The pressure comes from a militant labour movement in the streets, Iran's warning over Korea's Gulf assets, and a US empire exposed as a paper tiger. We trace this struggle back to the US
Pravin Sawhney: India Abandons New World Order For America | GEH W/ Radhika Desai (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Is India's celebrated strategic autonomy real, or a myth sustained by domestic politics? Pravin Sawhney, director of the Force Research Institute, joins me to dismantle the popular narrative around Modi's foreign policy. According to Pravin, the world became multipolar in 2013, when Xi Jinping and Vladimir Putin outlined a new international order built on sovereign equality, only for the Modi government to reject China's rise and hitch India's fortunes to Washington instead. We examine why India
Ali Alizadeh: Iran Is Destroying All American Bases In West Asia | GEH W/ Radhika Desai (opens the original)
Read excerpt
The United States has run through every tactic it knows against Iran, sanctions, assassination, a forty-day air war, tit-for-tat strikes, and still cannot achieve its objectives. Ali Alizadeh, editor of the Jadal YouTube channel, joins me to explain why. Alizadeh details how Iran has systematically dismantled the American military presence in West Asia, driving US forces out of bases in the UAE, Qatar, Bahrain, and Kuwait, then out of Iraq entirely after eighteen years, including Ain al-Assad, o
