On today’s episode:
We talk with Amanda Taub and Max Fisher, who write the Interpreter column for The New York Times, about the perception — and reality — of what’s driving this political change in Europe.
Background reading:
• Alison Smale on German Chancellor Angela Merkel’s precarious place in Europe’s fast-changing political order.
• Alissa J. Rubin on how this week’s election in the Netherlands is serving as a test of its tolerance for Muslim immigrants.
