In the latest episode of Interregnum, Richard Seymour discusses the abrupt increase in Western criticism of Israel's actions in Gaza and why we're finally seeing that heightened opprobrium in this moment. We went on to talk about how to understand the Trump administration's tariff policy and whether there's more rationality at play than is commonly supposed.
We also discussed the energy transition in China, amid the news that for the first time China's emissions have fallen, despite rapid power demand growth. Finally, we talked about the UK Green party and the eco-populist agenda of Zack Polanski who is seeking to become the new leader of the party.
