  • Fire, then fury: Hong Kong’s deadly blaze
    The dead are still being found; the displaced huddle in public spaces. Who or what will be blamed, and what policies will change after the tragedy? We visit Georgia, where protests have now lasted a year, probing the differences between popular uprisings that succeed and those that fail. And remembering He Yanxin, last natural inheritor of China’s ancient women-only language. Additional audio courtesy of Zhao Ke'er from the documentary "Heart of Gold".Get a world of insights by subscribing to Economist Podcasts+.

  • Growth negligence: Britain’s budget
    The tax-and-spend plan was fine-tuned to avoid immediate political jeopardy. But it will do little to help Britain’s chronic growth problem, and is likely to erode further the political centre. We meet with Yogi Adityanath, the leader of India’s most populous state and a harbinger of the country’s possible political future. And readers’ best—or most discombobulating—job-interview questions.Get a world of insights by subscribing to Economist Podcasts+.

  • Party likes it 1959: Cuba in crisis
    The country’s Communist Party leadership continues to cling to old ideals amid on-again, off-again diplomacy with America—and the people’s suffering only deepens. Britain is making the most of its advantages in the burgeoning industry of quantum technology. And why conservationists’ concern about a wood beloved of classical musicians may be misplaced.
