  • The Economics of Fraternities

    The Economics of Fraternities
    2026/10/23
    Fraternities are so deeply embedded in the culture of American universities that even rape and sexual assault scandals like the one at Cornell University don’t seem to jeopardize their status. That’s in part because of their ubiquity. Across the country, there are some 6,000 fraternity chapters and 6 million alumni. Adam and Cameron examine the economics of fraternities as an institution. Also, this: Adam and Cameron will be doing a live taping of Ones and Tooze in Berlin on Nov. 10 at the Festsaal Kreuzberg.

  • Francis Fukuyama

    Francis Fukuyama
    2026/09/25
    Adam and Cameron discuss the newly released memoir of Francis Fukuyama, the American political scientist whose influential paper in 1989—which was later expanded into a book—posited that liberal democracy had won the world's ideological battle. The thesis was heralded as prescient when the Berlin wall fell a short time later but has been subjected to much criticism over the years. In the memoir, In the Realm of the Last Man, Fukuyama sets out to account for events that have transpired since 1989. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
