Dr. Abraham Newman is a Professor at the School of Foreign Service and Government Department at Georgetown University. Known for his research on the politics generated by globalization, he serves as a frequent commentator on international affairs, appearing on news programs ranging from Al Jazeera to Deutsche Welle and NPR. He is a 2022–2023 Berlin Prize winner. His latest book, together with Henry Farrell, is Underground Empire: How America Weaponized the World Economy.

In this episode, we focus on Underground Empire. We first discuss in what ways the US is an (underground) empire. We talk about the development of the global banking system and the role played by the internet. We discuss the US government's response to 9/11. We talk about how the US can make use of global networks to cut entire countries out of the global economy. We discuss the influence of the European Union and China on the global stage, and the political relationship between the US and China. We talk about the benefits and vulnerabilities of globalization. Finally, we discuss how we can leverage the global networks to better serve the interests of the global population.
