Episode: Downstream: What’s The Real Point of Trump’s Tariffs? w/ Slavoj Žižek
Description: Donald Trump has been ripping up the rule book on global trade, implementing huge tariffs and sending markets into a frenzy. But is there any method in his apparent madness?

Žižek’s new book, Zero Point, is out now on Bloomsbury.
