The host and guest, Robert Wright, with contrasting backgrounds, engage in a nuanced discussion on the Gaza war and Israeli-Palestinian conflict, aiming to gain insights from each other's viewpoints. A special collaborative episode between their respective podcast platforms sets the stage for a thought-provoking conversation.
Journalist and author Robert Wright invited EconTalk's Russ Roberts to his podcast, NonZero, to discuss the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, knowing that there would be plenty to disagree about. The two then agreed to release their back-and-forth on their respective podcasts. The result is a lively but respectful discussion that is more debate than the usual EconTalk episode. We hope there will still be much to learn from this slightly more combative than usual episode.
