Talking with Adam Tooze

Описание: From my Substack. Going to make an effort to share these conversations here too.

Adam Tooze is a distinguished, prolific historian — I think I was introduced to him by "The Wages of Destruction," about the German economy during World War II — who has also been a leader in the newsletter/Substack revolution. His "Chartbook" is essential reading. Given some of his recent writing about Germany, plus Trump’s declaration that Europe is effectively our enemy, I thought it would be interesting to talk.
