Plus: a deep dive on hot dogs.
NATO is enlarging its rapid response force from 40,000 to 300,000, in light of Russia’s invasion of Ukraine—a huge expansion. But who will foot the bill and how will the force operate in practice? Adam and Cameron discuss these and other questions in the first segment of the episode. Then, to mark the July 4th holiday, they dive into the history and economics of…hot dogs.
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 our new podcast, Tooze and FP deputy editor Cameron Abadi will 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.
