Niall Ferguson on October 7 and Our Changed World

This episode commemorates the second anniversary of the October 7, 2023 Hamas attack on Israel. Host Bari Weiss sits down with historian Niall Ferguson to reflect on how the world has changed since that morning. They discuss the continuing hostage crisis, with 48 Israelis still held in Gaza, and the broader geopolitical shifts that have left the world feeling like it has tilted on its axis after two years that felt like two decades. Ferguson, a senior fellow at Hoover and author of 16 books, brings historical perspective to the current moment.
