“Tooze is great as ever but the format could be improved. At its best the podcast allows Tooze do perform his now customary wizardry in illuminating and connecting wold historical trends and processes. At times however it can verge on the awkward as the host, very much an every day man foil (though a competent one at that), prods Tooze by asking him questions in the vein of ‘can we quantify love in dollar numbers?’ or ‘what are the economics of Habermas?’, allowing Tooze to respond in 15 minutes before abruptly transitioning to ‘the finance behind hot-dogs/beer cans/state fairs’. The format would therefore benefit from some tinkering, by broadening the scope/range or better segmenting.”
