A 5,000-word essay titled “The Techno-Optimist Manifesto” is getting a lot of attention in Silicon Valley and elsewhere. Written by the venture capitalist Marc Andreessen, the essay is a paean to technology as a driver of wealth and happiness but also a jingoistic glorification of late-stage capitalism and American nationalism. Adam and Cameron discuss.

The most insightful, interesting current affairs, economics and historical podcast you will find.
Fantastic Listen
Tooze’s appearance on any podcast is always insightful and entertaining so it’s great to see Foreign Policy provide a dedicated outlet for him. No one does more to demystify the complexities of economics and finance and their interaction with politics and history. Abadi also deserves credit as an excellent co-host.
