This week, the AEI Podcast Channel presents a new podcast, https://www.aei.org/tag/the-campus-exchange-an-aei-for-students-podcast/ (the Campus Exchange). AEI resident fellow Ryan Berg joins students at the University of Miami to discuss the impact of COVID-19 on Latin America. Berg explains how the region’s high urbanization and dysfunctional politics has made it particularly susceptible to COVID, ending a period of relative calm. He also considers how populist movements in Latin America have eroded trust in science and institutions, and authoritarian governments have used the pandemic as an opportunity to expand their power. This conversation was recorded on November 11, 2020.
