  1. "SHAPING the market rather than FIXING its failures” M. Mazzucato | Progressive Person of the Year

    "SHAPING the market rather than FIXING its failures” M. Mazzucato | Progressive Person of the Year

    In a year marked by political backsliding and a return to outdated economic thinking, FEPS is proud to name Mariana Mazzucato as its Progressive Person of the Year. Through books such as The Entrepreneurial State and The Big Con, Mariana Mazzucato has contributed to key debates on the role of the state and public purpose in the economy. In this special edition of FEPS Talks Podcast, renowned economist and author Mariana Mazzucato joins László Andor for a wide-ranging conversation on why economics is never neutral, and why the real challenge today is not fixing markets, but actively shaping them. From parasitic public-private partnerships to the limits of competitiveness, from the EU’s Green Deal and the Draghi report to state capacity, mission-driven industrial policy and dignity, Mazzucato challenges orthodox thinking and calls for a new political economy that serves people and planet. This interview is also part of the 2026 edition of the Progressive Yearbook edited by FEPS and launched during FEPS’ traditional New Year Reception at our Headquarters in Brussels.

    📊 "IRELAND'S older population is more PROGRESSIVE" Kevin Cunningham | Next Left Pollsters

    🇮🇪 Delivery Matters More Than Promises In this episode of the Progressive Pollsters FEPS Talks series, Kevin Cunningham, MD and founder of Ireland Thinks, joins Ania Skrzypek, FEPS Director for Research and Training, to reflect on the evolving dynamics of Irish politics — from shifting trust in institutions to the lessons progressives can draw from Ireland’s distinctive landscape. 🗳️ Cunningham explains how delivery, rather than rhetoric, shaped voter confidence during the cost-of-living crisis — and why Ireland’s absence of a strong radical right sets it apart. Yet, he also highlights the warning signs: growing frustration among younger voters, deep divides in housing and migration debates, and a widening gender gap — with young women more focused on Gaza and social justice, and young men increasingly concerned about immigration. 🌹 In the run-up to PES Congress in Amsterdam Progressive Mobilisation, the Next Left Progressive Pollsters series highlights the ongoing work of the FEPS-Karl-Renner-Institut's Progressive Pollsters network, which brings together leading pollsters and political analysts to discuss and reflect on key political and social trends shaping Europe’s destiny, especially following the European elections in 2024. 📺🔊 Available on YouTube, Spotify & Apple Podcast

    Why are so many Europeans angry at politics today? Listen to the latest episode in the Progressive Pollsters FEPS Talks series with Bruno Jeanbart, Vice President of OpinionWay! From frustration with “broken” political systems to fears around identity and immigration, we look at why dissatisfaction dominates — and what that means for progressive movements. Are people really losing hope? Or can social democrats reconnect by addressing the basics: education, housing, welfare? 🌹 In the run-up to PES Congress in Amsterdam Progressive Mobilisation, the Next Left Progressive Pollsters series highlights the ongoing work of the FEPS-Karl-Renner-Institut's Progressive Pollsters network, which brings together leading pollsters and political analysts to discuss and reflect on key political and social trends shaping Europe’s destiny, especially following the European elections in 2024. 📺🔊 Available on YouTube, Spotify & Apple Podcast

  5. The Long Roads to PEACE: Europe, Ukraine, and Global Diplomacy — with Stephen Bronner

    The Long Roads to PEACE: Europe, Ukraine, and Global Diplomacy — with Stephen Bronner

    Prof. Stephen Bronner has been leading an international network of scholars and experts to study dialogue and diplomacy in the world, with a particular focus on peace negotiations, in theory as well as practice. In this interview he presents his views on the Russo-Ukrainian war, but also on Israel and Palestine. He offers his assessment of the impact of the Alaska summit on the diplomacy surrounding the war in Ukraine, and elaborates on some concrete steps that could be made to bring the positions of the two sides closer to each other. He also connects the concept of peace with culture, encouraging the prevention of conflict to remain on the agenda, also as part of European foreign policy. One conclusion of the conversation is that the complexity of the maximum plan, for example, in the case of Palestine, should not be used as an excuse for not doing the absolute minimum to ensure the safety and security of the civilian population.

  7. The new American way with James K. Galbraith

    The new American way with James K. Galbraith

    Prof. James K. Galbraith shares his views about the dramatic changes in US politics and policy which we experienced in the past year. Europeans are still struggling to understand what produced Donald Trump and how consequential his second term in the White House can be. In the conversation with FEPS Secretary General László Andor, he explores both internal and external factors driving the political changes of our time, which also are reshaping transatlantic relations. Is Trump a conservative who is nostalgic for the 1950s or the 1920s? Or he is responding, in his own way, to contemporary challenges which Europeans are also facing? Can the US go backwards, or at some point it will be going forward again? And what the European response needs to be, especially what concerns strategic (monetary) autonomy. At the end of the conversation, he recommends to our listeners one book written by his father, John Kenneth Galbraith, and a recent one from himself too. James Kenneth Galbraith is an American economist. He is a professor at the Lyndon B. Johnson School of Public Affairs and at the Department of Government, University of Texas at Austin.
