About this episode

The episode discusses the impact of Brexit on the UK a decade after the vote and explores its implications for global nationalist populism.

Ten years ago this summer, voters in the United Kingdom chose to withdraw from the European Union. In other words, the long and winding process of Brexit began. On this episode, Dan Richards talks with Watson professor and political economist Mark Blyth about the role Brexit has played in Britain's economy, society and politics in the ten years since that vote, and what the Brexit movement can tell us about the evolution of nationalist populist politics around the world. They also explore what policymakers could do to bolster the British economy and stabilize its politics today. Transcript coming soon to our website Watch this episode on YouTube
