NBN Book of the Day - The Future of Neoliberalism: A Conversation with Gary Gerstle

The word neoliberalism is often used more as an insult than a description of a set of beliefs. And people can be rather hazy about the beliefs it refers to – although the mix generally includes free markets, privatisation and globalisation and high levels of inequality. In his book The Rise and Fall of the Neoliberal Order: America and the World in the Free Market Era (Oxford UP, 2022), Professor Gary Gerstle of Cambridge University charts how both rightists and leftists embraced neo liberal ideas which prevailed for some three decades until they were challenged by the populist ethno nationalism of Trump and his imitators. But can ethnonationalism prevail? Professor Gerstle argues its too soon to say whether ethnonationalism will become the new post neoliberal orthodoxy

What A Day - Don’t Believe Every COVID Count You Read

COVID cases are rising again in the U.S. In just the past month alone, the average number of confirmed cases has doubled according to the CDC. But with many people using at-home rapid tests where results don’t get reported to officials, the actual case count could be much higher. Dr. Abdul El-Sayed, epidemiologist and host of Crooked’s “America Dissected,” joins us to discuss how to get an accurate estimate of the surge as we head into summer. 

And in headlines: The first Russian soldier convicted of war crimes in Ukraine was sentenced to life in prison, the Southern Baptist Convention covered up allegations of mishandled sexual abuse, and outgoing Congressman Madison Cawthorn is being investigated by the House Ethics Committee.

The Daily Signal - With Beijing Breathing Down Taiwan’s Neck, What Signal Did Biden Just Send?

In Japan on Monday, President Joe Biden seemingly departed from previous American policy regarding Taiwan, announcing that the U.S. would militarily defend the tiny island nation if China were to invade.

Walter Lohman, director of The Heritage Foundation’s Asian Studies Center, says Biden's statement was a huge mistake.

"We want to keep the Chinese guessing about what the United States would do," he says of the long-standing policy of "strategic ambiguity."

Lohman joins the show to discuss what the implications of this seeming shift in policy would be, and what Beijing’s aims are regarding Taiwan.

We also cover these stories:

  • Following Democrats' claims that new election laws in Georgia would depress voter turnout, more Georgians are voting ahead of Tuesday's primaries than ever.
  • Biden says he doesn't think monkeypox will be as serious as COVID-19.
  • An early draft of a letter sent to the president by the National School Boards Association suggests the group planned to ask that the Army National Guard and military police be sent to certain school districts to handle parents protesting mandatory masking and controversial curriculums.
  • State Farm insurance company is encouraging employees to donate books on transgenderism to local schools and libraries in Florida and elsewhere around the country.
