Plus: A look back at Berlusconi’s legacy in Italy.
On this week’s episode, Adam and Cameron look at the devastating impact that Russia’s war on Ukraine has had on the country’s infrastructure—in particular, the destruction of the Kakhovka dam. In the second segment, the two reflect back on the life of former Italian Prime Minister Silvio Berlusconi and try to parse out how much his personal scandals impacted the national economy.
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.
