Episode 11: Economics of war, militarized police, and state-sanctioned violence

In today’s episode of the What In the World? Podcast, we dive into the economics of war, how war profits the few and devastates the many, and break down the numbers behind the soaring global defense spending—from the U.S. and Germany to China, India, and beyond.

We also take a hard look at the militarization of police both in the U.S. and abroad, from surplus military equipment on city streets to billion-dollar training centers like “Cop City.” We examine how state violence is being used to criminalize dissent, suppress protest, and extend global systems of control—from D.C. parades to LA protests, and from Atlanta to Rio.
