Introduction

On Sunday, Brazilians head to the polls for the first round of voting in their presidential election. In Europe this week, the fascist Georgia Maloney won the Italian election for Prime Minister and a massive attack on the Nord Stream pipeline has led to global finger pointing. To sort through all this, we're joined by Art Goldhammer, one of the leading translators of French work into English including his work on the seminal translation of Thomas Piketty's book Capital in the 21st Century. After that, I'll speak with Brazilian sociologist Sabrina Fernandez, who often tweets in English at the handle at S-A-F-B-F.
