This week, Rep. Earl Blumenauer joins the show to discuss his new legislation to reinstate superfund taxes and make polluters pay for toxic cleanup. He discusses why eliminating tax breaks are essential to the cleanup of toxic and hazardous waste sites throughout the United States.

Then, Dr. Robbie Shilliam discusses his new book Decolonizing Politics: An Introduction and how international political scholars need to recontextualize, reconceptionalize, and reimagine some of the most prominent political ideas to discontinue colonial logic and improve international relations for just policies.
