Ones and Tooze: How far does the U.N. budget go? Plus, the economics of Sweden.
This week, Adam and Cameron talk about the United Nations, which operates on an annual budget of $3.4 billion. The money is provided by member states—but what does it buy them?
Also on the show: the economics of Sweden.
About Ones and Tooze: Foreign Policy economics columnist Adam Tooze, a history professor and a popular author, is encyclopedic about basically everything: from the COVID shutdown, to climate change, to pasta sauce. On FP's hit podcast, Tooze and FP deputy editor Cameron Abadi look at two data points each week that explain the world: one drawn from the week’s headlines and the other from just about anywhere else Tooze takes us.
