On the Brink of Global Recession

About this episode

In this episode of “The David Frum Show,” The Atlantic’s David Frum opens with a discussion of the likelihood that the partisan balance of power will shift from Republicans to Democrats at the state-government level.  Then, David is joined by the president of the Peterson Institute for International Economics, Adam Posen, for a conversation about the state of the world’s economy. David and Posen discuss the economic effect of the war in Iran, the United States’ reputational hit caused by Trump’s tariffs, and the chance of global recession.  Finally, David ends the episode with a discussion of “Ask Not: The Kennedys and the Women They Destroyed,” by Maureen Callahan, and reflects on why reactions to the abuse of women by men in power seem to have become a partisan issue.  Sign up for David Frum’s newsletter alert.
