How to take on Trump’s ‘unhinged’ politics | Rutger Bregman

With the world still reeling from Donald Trump's tariffs, the International Monetary Fund (IMF) has slashed the UK's growth forecast and says the global economy will see a "significant slowdown" - add to that, wars in Europe and the Middle East, climate change and the promise and peril of AI.

So is it possible to find hope amongst this constant chorus of doom and gloom?

One person who thinks they have an answer is Rutger Bregman, a progressive historian famous for taking on the Davos billionaires.

He joins Matt Frei on the latest episode of The Fourcast.

Produced by Holly Snelling, Calum Fraser, Rob Thomson
