This week: <a href="https://bsky.app/profile/did:plc:zxqezqfhjwidbrsvk66ded57">Felix Salmon</a> finally gets to nerd out on Argentina's economy as Trump goes against the GOP playbook by bailing the country out to the tune of $20 billion. Felix, <a href="https://www.elizabethspiers.com/">Elizabeth Spiers</a>, and <a href="https://www.axios.com/authors/epeck">Emily Peck</a> break down why this is such an unusual move, how it shows Trump’s favoritism, and what it means for America’s soy farmers. Then, the US government has officially shut down but stocks are soaring. The hosts talk about who, if not Wall Street, is economically impacted by the shutdown. And finally, Jared Kushner helped broker a record-breaking $55 billion private equity deal for Electronic Arts that includes Saudi Arabia's Public Investment Fund. Do we care if the Saudis own a controlling stake of the gaming giant?
In the Slate Plus episode: What number is Felix thinking of?
