How did centre-left parties evolve throughout the Twentieth Century? Why is the present era of centre-left neoliberalism so different from postwar Keynesianism or the socialist period prior to the 1930s? And what does it mean for voters who expect social democratic parties to deliver social justice and fight economic inequality? To answer these questions, Aidan Regan talks with University of California, Davis professor Stephanie L. Mudge about her 2018 book, Leftism Reinvented.

We are back from a Covid-induced pause! Aidan Regan talks with economist, writer, and hedge fund manager Eric Lonergan about his new book, Angrynomics (co-written with friend of the show Mark Blyth). Why do our modern economies produce so many angry people? What are the macro-drivers of public anger and the micro-stressors of private anger? Can policies that look beyond traditional political cleavages and economic orthodoxy help us get out of this mess?

During the 2020 Winter School for PhD candidates, LSE Associate Professor Jonathan Hopkin joined us to discuss his forthcoming book on anti-system politics and economic inequality in the West. Jonathan and Aidan Regan discuss whether it's cultural changes or neoliberalism that drive anti-system parties of the left and right, as well as the relationship between welfare states and party politics.

In this episode, Prof Aidan Regan sat down with Prof Manuella Moschella to discuss her book project on the brave new world of central banking. The book argues that the financial crisis spurred central banks across the world to act irresponsibly by committing huge sums of public money to save the private sector. This was an unintended consequence of the crisis.
But it now means that the credibility of central bankers as "independent technocrats" with no role to play in distributing economic resources is tarnished. Aidan and Manuella ask if central bankers are now directly involved in distributional politics, what does this mean for the future of central banking?
Will central banks try to rebuild their reputation as independent technocrats? Or will they start getting involved in new forms of economic decision making, including, but not limited to, tackling climate change?
Manuela Moschella is Associate Professor of International Political Economy at the Scuola Normale Superiore. Her research focuses on the relationship between technocracy and politics, the role of institutions and economic ideas in economic policymaking, the politics of macroeconomic and financial regulatory choices, and the behaviour of international organisations.
Ongoing research projects examine monetary policy convergence in the advanced economies and the political determinants of international macroeconomic cooperation.
Prof Moschella is interested in supervising empirically-oriented, comparative research in areas related to International organisations and negotiations; The politics of macroeconomic decision-making and financial regulation; European Monetary Union -

In our fifth episode we speak with Daphne Halikiopoulou, professor of comparative politics at the University of Reading and an expert in the European far right. Does it make sense to refer to far right parties it as "populist"? Can far right leaders rely exclusively on cultural grievances in order to grow, or must they also address economic discontent? Does the distinction even make sense? What is to be done to counter their appeal?
