Summary
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 Listen to what matters most, from global politics and business to science and technology— subscribe to The Economist .
