Socialist mobility: a telling Michigan vote

We examine one of America’s primary races, in which a sharply lefty candidate beat the establishment figure. What does that reveal about changes in the Democratic Party? For decades China’s Yangtze River was a polluted, overfished mess. We look at the wins from cleaning it up—and who loses. And a fond look back at postcards as they fade from use.

Guests and host:

• John Prideaux, executive editor and host, “Checks and Balance”
• Gabriel Crossley, China correspondent
• Catherine Nixey, Britain correspondent
• Jason Palmer, co-host of “The Intelligence”

Topics covered: 

• America’s primary season, Democratic Socialists of America, Michigan, Abdul El-Sayed
• China, Yangtze River, remediation
• postcards, second world war, British history
