William Sinclair

William is an economist and mathematician.

“People on the progressive end of the political spectrum have legitimate questions: Why can’t they just stop new coal and gas? Why can’t they just end the AUKUS program or stand up to Donald Trump or do all the ambitious things that progressively minded people would support?

“This podcast tries to answer these sorts of questions in a compassionate way without the dismissiveness that often accompanies mainstream politics. We try to examine the other side’s point of view without condescension or contempt. I wanted to make a podcast that would rise above the petty politics of gossip, horserace punditry and psychological conjecture on politicians that passes for analysis. I wanted to talk about the thing that really matters: policy.

“I hope our listeners will hear an argument they genuinely find novel and reach their own conclusions about what we’re discussing.”
