Governor Jerry Brown launched the most aggressive and successful combination of programs to combat climate change we have yet seen in the United States—understanding these programs can help other states do the same.
Chris Sturr, co-editor of Dollars & Sense, interviewed Sasha Breger Bush, associate professor of political science at the University of Colorado, Denver. Sasha is author of our March/April 2026 cover story, Raw Materials and Raw Power: Greenland, Venezuela, and the Future of U.S. Foreign Policy. The interview was conducted on March 10, a couple of weeks into the U.S.-Israeli war on Iran, so much of our discussion focused on how the lessons about Trump's foreign policy outlined in Sasha's article apply to the war. This segment aired as part of the March 26 episode of Economics for the People on KKFI in Kansas City.
