Mark Blyth, political economist at Brown's Watson Institute, and Carrie Nordlund, political scientist and associate director of Brown's Master of Public Affairs program, share their take on the week's news.

Today's topics include the continued government shutdown, early thoughts on the 2020 Democratic Presidential Primary, what the media got right and wrong about the Covington Catholic story, Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez's marginal tax rate proposal, Brexit as Greek Tragedy, Venezuela's uncertain future, and Jeff Bezos's mild (but oh so costly) affair.
