On Tuesday, Ivanka
Trump appeared on a panel with Angela Merkel, chancellor of Germany; Christine
Lagarde, director of the International Monetary Fund; Canadian Foreign Minister
Chrystia Freeland; and Queen Maxima of the Netherlands in Berlin to discuss
issues facing women entrepreneurs.
During the event, Ivanka was met with boos and hisses when she described
her father as a supporter of women’s workplace ambitions and a champion of families.
Joining me today to talk all about what happened in Berlin, the controversy it
cause and why she feels Ivanka is fairytale princess dressed up in false
feminism, spinning a yarn of beneficent patriarchy is Adele M. Stan who is a columnist for The American Prospect.
Back in 1975, when the
news broke that the city of New York was on the brink of fiscal collapse, few
people could believe that the country’s largest metropolis was about to
fail. Yet the city was indeed billions
of dollars in the red, with no way to pay back its debts, which provided both
bankers and conservative politicians the opportunity to use the situation to back
up their claims that social liberalism, which New York famously exemplified,
was unworkable and would ultimately allow them to push their own agenda. In her new book Fear City: New York’s Fiscal Crisis and the Rise of Austerity Politics historian Kim Phillips-Fein
tells the remarkable story of this crisis and shows how the brush with
bankruptcy permanently transformed New York and in the process reshaped ideas
about government across America. Kim
joins me on the show today to talk all about the book and the origins of the
politics of austerity.
