This week, The Ezra Klein Show examined two major forces reshaping the global economy and American life: the rapid deployment of artificial intelligence systems with limited oversight, and the structural shifts in U.S.-China trade relations that are reshaping manufacturing and geopolitics. Together, the episodes explore how large technological and economic changes can outpace our ability to govern them, leaving policymakers and the public scrambling to understand the consequences.
