Excerpt: Adam Tooze on the UK's economic malaise

Adam Tooze returns to PTO to respond to the many excellent
questions sent in by listeners. Become a £5 supporter on patreon to

patreon.com/poltheoryother to sign up. We talked about Perry
Anderson's take on Adam's work in the New Left Review, why Adam -
despite his engagement with Marxist thought and frequent
appearances in left media and events - defines himself as a left
liberal rather than a socialist. We also talked about his view of
the significance of the US inflation reduction act, and the dire
state of the UK economy. We went on to talk about the economic and
social crisis in Lebanon and why Adam thinks the situation in the
country and the broader region does not get the attention it
deserves.
