systematically being replaced by other races. he s not alone. why are these demographic fears going mainstream in countries around the globe? i ll talk to two experts. but, first, here s my take. president biden says that combating inflation is his top domestic priority. but he certainly isn t acting that way. he has in plain sight several members that would reduce inflation significantly, and yet appears hesitant to do them. as many distinguished economists have noted, the repeal of most or all of donald trump s tariffs would be the single most effective way of reducing inflation 2349 near future. as a reminder, a tariff is a tax on goods paid by the american consumer who buys those goods. it is by definition inflationary. it raises the price of the good like an imported car. but it causes even more inflation than that because it raises the price of the domestically made equivalent good as well. if a mazda sells for more, ford and general motors also raise prices on thei
systemically planted by others. as you will hear from today s pam, from an idea being studied by others around the world, cyn cynthia idris is the author of hate in the homeland. and from the washington post, a great series published this week on viktor orban and the american right. cynthia, let me start with you and help us understand where does this idea of replacement plainly speaking start from? what are the intellectual roots of this? the theory, i should say false and dangerous theory, i don t want to give it more credence, the conspiracy theory about the threat of replacements by immigrants but the great replacement as we re talking about here was coined about 11 years ago by a french scholar
pro government and nationalist. orban set about cowing institutional organizations in his favor, vowing moderates to toe his party line. why all of this is damaging to hungary s democracy and you can argue that hungary is no longer a democracy but maybe something else, competitive autocracy, this is something actively cheered by right wing nationalists elsewhere in the world and clearly here in the united states. cynthia, something you have been highlighting for a long time is this rise of culture issues relating to race, religion, things like that. it feels like orban really occupies that space. as ishaan said, it s not a particularly free market country. there s nothing about hungary s economy that s interesting. a lot of state subsidies, receiving eu subsidies but what
national leaders in power. cynthia, ishaan tharoor, thank you both. up next china s economy is in trouble. but that s nothing to celebrate, and i will tell you why in a moment. and i get seven days to love it or my money back. i love it!
