Host Anne-Marie Slaughter is joined by Amanda Ripley, author of The Smartest Kids in the World: And How They Got That Way, to talk about why American students would choose to study in Poland, Finland, and South Korea—and why those countries’ education systems top ours. Slaughter also chats with New York University political scientist Joshua Tucker and journalist Steve LeVine about how Russia’s new proposal to put Syria’s chemical weapons stockpile under international control could impact U.S.-Russia relations and the global energy market.
