摘要
Friday Focus provides listeners with a focused, half-hour masterclass on the big issues, events and trends driving the news and current events. The show features Janice Gross Stein, the founding director of the Munk School of Global Affairs and bestselling author, in conversation with Rudyard Griffiths, Chair and moderator of the Munk Debates.
The following is a sample of the Munk Debates’ weekly current affairs podcast, Friday Focus.
On this week’s edition of the Friday Focus podcast, Janice and Rudyard start the show with a discussion of the billions currently being spent by governments in North America to subsidize companies involved in the electrification of the economy. Do these subsidies work? What are the tradeoffs? And, can we continue to afford generous cash transfers of public funds to private enterprises? The second half of the program looks at the different countries vying to lead on a peace deal for the Ukraine War. What exactly is going on here? Do any of these countries and any one specific plan have a chance to end the war? How are Russia and Ukraine likely to be ultimately brought to the peace table, and when?
