This summer on Planet Money Summer School, we're learning about political economy.
We're getting into the nitty gritty of what government does with things like trade,
taxes, immigration and healthcare.
So politics and economics, which are taught separately, they shouldn't be separated at all.
I think you have to understand one to really appreciate the other.
So what is the right amount of government in our lives?

At least 20 people were killed in a stampede at a food distribution site in Gaza today.
As NPR's Greg Dixon reports,
the site is run by a U.S. and Israel-backed group that has been criticized for the way it provides food.
The Gaza Humanitarian Foundation, or GHF,
confirmed in a statement that at least 20 people were killed on Wednesday when a crowd at one of its food sites in Gaza surged.
They say most of those deaths were the result of people being trampled.
The health ministry in Gaza said tear gas was fired on people seeking food,
resulting in the stampede.
Since Israel replaced the UN system providing food aid with GHF in May,
Gaza health officials say more than 500 people have been killed by Israeli military fire outside the food sites.
GHF has been criticized for running chaotic and dangerous aid operations in Gaza.
Over 100 humanitarian organizations have called for GHF to shut down.
