Behind the News: The Peruvian Election

Host Doug Henwood covers the worlds of economics and politics and their complex interactions, from the local to the global. In this episode, Doug speaks with Matt Kierkegaard, coordinator of the Progressive International (https://progressive.international/wire/2021-06-08-we-must-defend-popular-sovereignty-in-peru/en)’s delegation to observe the Peruvian election, on the apparent very narrow victory of the socialist, Pedro Castillo. Then Doug interviews Ross Barkan (http://rossbarkan.com/), author of The Prince (https://www.orbooks.com/catalog/the-prince/), on the dark, evil Andrew Cuomo.
