It's a Funny World
With the Taliban going strong and the polar ice caps melting away, we wouldn’t blame you for feeling like there's nothing to laugh about - until now.

featuring professional comedians and friends of the World Policy Institute:
- Ophira Eisenberg
- WPI Senior Fellow Ian Bremmer
- Kevin Bleyer

The End of the Free Market
WPI Senior Fellow Ian Bremmer recounts the battle between state capitalism and the free market. Detailing the rise of state-owned firms in China, Russia, the Arab states of the Persian Gulf, Iran, Venezuela, and elsewhere, he demonstrates the growing challenge that state capitalism will pose for the entire global economy.
