Description
Ezra Klein invites you into a conversation on something that matters. How do we address climate change if the political system fails to act? Has the logic of markets infiltrated too many aspects of our lives? What is the future of the Republican Party? What do psychedelics teach us about consciousness? What does sci-fi understand about our present that we miss? Can our food system be just to humans and animals alike?

4This is the strangest economy I’ve seen in my lifetime. If you just looked at the macro data — the jobs numbers, G.D.P., the stock market — things look pretty normal. But they clearly aren’t normal. The Trump administration spent the year upending the global trade system while tech companies spent hundreds of billions of dollars on A.I., a technology that could potentially displace many of our jobs. And people don’t feel normal, either. Survey data shows that the vibecession rages on.Tracy Alloway and Joe Weisenthal are the co-hosts of the excellent economics podcast “Odd Lots” and have closely followed all the chaos this year. So I wanted to have them on the show to explain what the hell is going on.Mentioned:ChartsOdd LotsThe Three-Body Problem by Cixin Liu“The Vibecession: The Self-Fulfilling Prophecy” by Kyla Scanlon“Everyone is Gambling and No One is Happy” by Kyla ScanlonBook Recommendations:Breakneck by Dan WangNorth Woods by Daniel MasonA Marriage at Sea by Sophie ElmhirstThe Digital Reversal by Andrey MirOrality and Literacy by Walter J.

What will America’s story be after President Trump? My colleague David Leonhardt did a great series on that question this year, talking to a number of leading politicians. I thought two of those episodes, with Senator Bernie Sanders and with Senator Ruben Gallego, would be of particular interest to you.And they’re great to listen to as a pair. Sanders and Gallego have strong views about where the Democratic Party went wrong and how it can win back working-class voters in particular — views that have a lot of overlap but also some interesting shades of difference. So I wanted to share both conversations.You can learn more about our sister show “The Opinions” here — and subscribe wherever you find your podcasts.

“This lightbulb went off that almost no one was asking these questions.”In 2006, Elie Hassenfeld and a few of his friends pooled some money they wanted to donate to charity. And they wanted to find charities where their money would go the farthest in improving lives. That information, it turned out, was incredibly hard to find.That was the seed of GiveWell. For almost a decade, GiveWell has dedicated itself to rigorously researching the impact of charities around the world and channeling donations to the ones that are the most effective at saving lives. It might sound simple, but this was a radically new approach in the world of charitable giving, and the work itself isn’t simple at all.I’ve supported GiveWell through the years. So as the year winds down and other people might be thinking about giving to a charity, I wanted to invite Hassenfeld, GiveWell’s chief executive, on the show to talk through this work. How does it measure impact? Are there limits to what you can measure? As an organization, has it made mistakes? What does it really mean to give well?If you like what you hear, I hope you’ll also consider donating to GiveWell.

Birds call to just say "I'm here." I say hi to people I pass on the street for the same reason. It is not awkward for me because I have no expectations about responses. But I let them know there's someone here, there's an adult in the room.
Democrats always seem so sure that if they say something, like for instance "Trump is hurting government workers and people on welfare by shutting down the government ", and that makes it true. but I don't see it. It was the Republicans who voted over and over again to fund the government and keep it open, and it was the Democrats who refused to allow it. it was the democrats who were quite willing to throw the American people under the bus and hold them hostage just to force their agenda.
This sounds like a hopeful dream to get back to that place where nothing fundamentally changes. democrats need to push progressive policies & implement them effectively WITHIN deep blue places to generate tangible examples of the benefits of those policies. From those deep blue places, it will spread outwards to purple places & eventually to red places, because when people hear feel see & touch the benefits of progressivism (housing, food costs, upward mobility, local improvements) we win.
The Democratic Party lost me when it went for the Malthusian soylent Green New Deal, and proceeded to descend into an ideology consistent with anti-humanism on several fronts (radical pro-abortion, gender bending, war on fossil fuel, etc). People will instinctively vote against policies that erode their living standards, even if they don't understand the ideology behind them. If Democrats want voters, they need to quit making our actuarial statistics worse.
What about Democrats spearheading a National Constitutional Convention whereby we, together, create a new constitution? Seriously. It's what we want.
Suzanne Mettler is a profoundly arrogant and stupid person. She brushes-off massive blind spots in her analysis, rendering her book and this episode an unfortunate waste of time. – A Rural Dweller
I am mystified why no one has taken note how plainly and quickly the war ended once Hamas returned the hostages. Hamas could've saved us all the anguish of the hell that the hostages endured in brutal captivity and all loss of life and property that the Gazans have endured by just releasing the hostages earlier. This episode also ignores the stark differences between the hostages, who were brutally kidnapped from their homes, and the Palestinian prisoners, murders of Israelis and Arabs.
Ezra...thank you SO much for instigating this conversation. it lifted, inspired, refreshed and comforted me.

Democrats should get Trump's goat by underlying his misogyny and rapist conviction. The Epstein files too. He really hates that. Thinks of himself as the protector of femalekind. Turn him into a blathering idiot. and on an issue his base won't abide by. He likes little girls.
Coates & Klein want to call Charlie Kirk hateful simply because he had some success at making contray arguments to their world view. Most objective Americans do not see Kirks speeches as being an act of hate. But, people that shoot at people just for saying something they don't like, That's Hateful, likewise, people who express pleasure that someone was shot at who said something they don't agree with, that's hateful too.
Hmmm. Making intellectual sparring great again. Mr. Klein, Mr. Kirk produced hateful, sideshows for fun and grew them into huge, profitable, circuses of hate. If his technique dazzled you so much you had to write about it - well, you be you. It is the Ezra Klein show after all. But admiring and praising that technique, he developed, and honed to make spreading hate great again, while he was being lionized as a martyr landed, for many, as misguided, thoughtless, and strange, as you already know.
wow. Coates and Klein are hashing out all the arguments going around my brain. Great interview. AND for Ohio, yes, the Democratic brand is bad news. As an experiment, what if Sherrod Brown ran as a Republican... take back the Republican party and transform it into the Democratic agenda....??
"Doing politics the right way'?!?!?!?! He antagonized marginalized people with "debate" intended to make them look foolish. That is how he went about gathering support... by united people, in the name of "christ" against common enemies. Do not dare say for a second he was doing politics the right way. It makes you sound like an imbecile.
hard to listen to this one... just breaking my heart

I appreciated this discussion.
"The world is divided into two groups...." That's all we need to know from the vaccuous Shapiro. How anybody could be Influenced by such a moron is beyond. His cynical outlook exemplifies why we are in silos. Not somone I take seriously, in the slightest.
Shapiro is as shallow and disingenuous as ever.
The filibuster screws Dems both when they are and aren't in power. When Ds have power, Reps use it to block popular govt initiatives and then use govt not working to regain power. When Ds are out, Rs propose unpopular cuts and whine when Ds threaten to shut down the govt. When Ds cave to keep things open, their base hates them for not fighting. Only Ds believe in govt helping common people whereas Rs believe govt should get out of rich people's way. Kill the filibuster! Make them own their cuts!
