The New Keynesians and the Nobel Prize

This year’s Nobel Prize in economic sciences was awarded to two Americans, Michael Woodford and Robert Hall, for developing “new macroeconomic models that have significantly improved our ability to implement effective stabilisation policy.” Adam and Cameron discuss. Plus: the difference between neo-Keynesianism and new Keynesianism. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

The Economics of Fraternities

Fraternities are so deeply embedded in the culture of American universities that even rape and sexual assault scandals like the one at Cornell University don’t seem to jeopardize their status. That’s in part because of their ubiquity. Across the country, there are some 6,000 fraternity chapters and 6 million alumni. Adam and Cameron examine the economics of fraternities as an institution. Also, this: Adam and Cameron will be doing a live taping of Ones and Tooze in Berlin on Nov. 10 at the Festsaal Kreuzberg.

Why Spain Stands Up to Trump

What’s the best way to navigate the Trump White House? Some countries employ flattery; others look to keep a low profile. Spain is a rare country that openly disagrees with several U.S. positions. On issue after issue, from the war in Iran to immigration policy, Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez’s left-wing government has publicly forged a path that runs counter to a global trend of right-wing policies. But is such a path electorally viable? We’ll find out when Spaniards head to the polls in November. On the latest episode of FP Live, Spanish Foreign Minister José Manuel Albares explains how Madrid thinks about the trade-offs in following its progressive agenda while risking the ire of the world’s biggest economy. Plus, Ravi shares his read on how conflicts around the world, from Ukraine to Iran, are increasingly linked.

ProHuman Institutions

Right now, we’re all living through a grand experiment. The rise of artificial intelligence promises to profoundly impact humanity. While conversations about AI are often focused on technical issues, this transformative technology will shape all aspects of society. The question facing world leaders has been asked before: How do we govern a technology powerful enough to threaten civilization itself? In this episode, Beatrice Fihn, the director of Lex International and a senior fellow at the U.N.’s Institute for Disarmament Research, explains why nuclear technology can be a useful analogy for artificial intelligence. Then, our featured host, former Irish President Mary Robinson, speaks with global governance expert Julia Morse about the landscape of international institutions that address global AI governance and what new ways of thinking may be on the horizon. ProHuman: Governing the Global AI Revolution is a co-production of Foreign Policy and the Future of Life Institute. Mary Robinson and all of our featured hosts are members of The Elders. Julia Morse founded the Politics of AI Governance Lab at the University of California, Santa Barbara. Beatrice Fihn was the executive director of ICAN, the International Campaign to Abolish Nuclear Weapons, when the organization was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize in 2017.

Could AI Destroy the World?

Artificial intelligence continues to advance at a remarkable pace, raising big questions about the future of humanity. Leading figures warn that increasingly powerful AI systems could one day escape our control, but peers argue that line of thinking is just speculative fearmongering. Welcome to Counterpoint, where we look at one big question facing world leaders from opposing points of view. In this episode, we’re asking: Could AI destroy the world? Arguing in favor is Stuart Russell, who has been referred to as the “godfather of AI” and whose foundational textbook, Artificial Intelligence: A Modern Approach, is used in universities around the world. He’s currently a professor of computer science at the University of California, Berkeley. And arguing against is Jürgen Schmidhuber, who has been referred to as the “father of modern AI” for his breakthroughs in the technology. He is currently a co-chair of the Center of Excellence for Generative AI at King Abdullah University of Science and Technology in Saudi Arabia. Counterpoint is a production of Foreign Policy, in partnership with the Doha Forum. The show is hosted by FP deputy editor Nick Danforth. Learn more about your ad choices.

Gridlock in the U.S. Housing Market

The housing market in the United States is in gridlock these days, largely because of high interest rates. The average 30-year fixed mortgage rate is now above 7 percent, making it difficult for would-be first-time buyers to get into the market. Adam and Cameron discuss the broader implications for the U.S. economy. Also on the show: Brazil’s presidential election Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Can America Stay Ahead of China on AI?

It is well known that at least part of Washington’s reluctance to regulate artificial intelligence comes from wanting to make sure the United States stays ahead of China. But what exactly are the two countries racing for? Matt Sheehan, a co-director of the China AI Initiative at the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace, joins FP’s Ravi Agrawal to explain the countries’ very different definitions of winning and why U.S. models are only months ahead of their Chinese competitors. Plus, after Brazil’s first round of elections, Ravi shares his read on Latin America’s rightward swing.

The Triage Game: Own, Delegate, or Drop

This season on World’s Toughest Job, host Jasmin Bauomy and co-host Mark Malloch-Brown asked how the next United Nations secretary-general might actually make a difference on issues such as complex wars, climate change, and artificial intelligence. But any secretary-general’s most scarce resource is time. So in this special episode, recorded live at this year’s U.N. General Assembly, we wanted to do something a little different. We asked our panelists what progress the next secretary-general needs to deliver personally in their first 100 days, what they should delegate to others, and what they should take off the world body’s plate entirely. We hear from Barbadian Prime Minister Mia Mottley; Comfort Ero, analyst, policymaker, and the president and CEO of the International Crisis Group; and Thant Myint-U, historian, author, and a senior fellow at the UN Foundation. World’s Toughest Job is a co-production of Foreign Policy and the UN Foundation.

No Borders

Like previous artificial intelligence models, Anthropic’s Mythos can process vast amounts of data to generate language, create images, and assist in software development. But unlike previous models, Mythos exhibits a very high capacity for discovering cybersecurity vulnerabilities. It is an artificial expert in cyberattack and defense. With little to no government oversight, private companies continue to develop more powerful AI systems. While the sources of the largest risks are located in a handful of countries, the impact of AI will be felt across the globe. In this episode, Anthony Aguirre, the CEO of the Future of Life Institute, explains what makes powerful AI models such as Mythos so dangerous and how they represent a threat to every country in the world. Then, our featured host, former Irish President Mary Robinson, speaks with one of the “godfathers of AI,” Yoshua Bengio, about why AI-related risks and challenges cannot be addressed by countries individually but require a coordinated approach. ProHuman: Governing the Global AI Revolution is a co-production of Foreign Policy and the Future of Life Institute. Mary Robinson, and all of our featured hosts, is a member of The Elders. Yoshua Bengio is the founder and scientific advisor of Mila. To read the International AI Safety Report 2026, click here. For more from the Future of Life Institute (FLI), click here.
