39 min
Watch episode

The covid-19 pandemic has left the world in shock, but for British historian and economics expert Adam Tooze, it has also brought with it countless opportunities. Watch the new interview «It's Not That Simple», which looks at the economic impacts and risks both of new pandemics and the war in Ukraine. Moderated by journalist Pedro Pinto.

Why have we ignored the risks of a pandemic for global health and economies? Were and are the responses to the pandemic crisis the right ones? With countries focused on fighting the pandemic, what other critical issues have been neglected? Are the virus and Ukraine taking us further away from the goals of tackling climate change, or can they be new allies in the transition to renewable energies?

These are questions that the historian and professor at Yale University answers in this programme.

«It's Not That Simple» brings you today's big issues, simplified by leading experts.

Because in a time of dizzying information, sometimes you have to stop pause before you can understand. Because not everything is that simple.
