    Ep 123: Beware of the Crisis

    There are people who argue that real reforms can only happen in a crisis. A crisis is a terrible thing to waste, they say. They are wrong. Welcome to Episode 123 of Everything is Everything, a weekly podcast hosted by Amit Varma and Ajay Shah. In this episode, Ajay explains how crises, most of the time, lead to terrible outcomes. Chaos is a ladder. And to actually do reforms during a crisis, you need not just the circumstance but also a scaffolding of factors in policy and politics and culture that need to be in place already.

    Ep 122: Nationalism Is Bad for the Nation

    The term ‘nationalism’ sounds so benign, almost as if it refers to something that is good for a nation. But it is a deeply toxic concept that tears societies apart. Welcome to Episode 122 of Everything is Everything, a weekly podcast hosted by Amit Varma and Ajay Shah. In this episode, Amit argues that nationalism is always bad for the nation, and we should think deeply before we are seduced by its charms.

    Ep 121: How to Fix Our GST

    The GST was conceptually superb, utterly necessary — and implemented poorly. There are still so many problems with it that it defeats the purpose. How do we think clearly about its problems? How do we fix it? Welcome to Episode 121 of Everything is Everything, a weekly podcast hosted by Amit Varma and Ajay Shah. In this episode, Ajay, one of the authors of the original paper of 2004 that proposed a GST in India, talks about what the GST is meant to do, why it fails in its current design and what we can do to make it better.
