This week we focus on student debt in America, which is one of the many issues that Covid-19 catapulted to the forefront, together with what it says about social inequality and higher education policy in the US. On another note, we continue our discussion of European nuclear strategy by zooming in on two very different countries: Sweden, with its unofficial NATO allyship, and Poland, fully committed to nuclear deterrence. We turn to history to learn about the economic consequences of past pandemics, and we also look upwards at the new actors in space. Finally, we return to Europe’s Green Deal, and the place of clean hydrogen our carbon-neutral future. |
