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?

Hey, it's Marielle.
When I was walking home yesterday, I saw a sign outside my local gym.
It said something like, got a bikini?
Got a body?
Then you have a bikini body.
I love this idea and the way it pushes back against the common narrative that you're only allowed to go to the pool or show your belly or even exist in the world
if your body looks a certain way.
Ronald Young Jr. has thought about this topic a lot.
So recently I went to a pool and there was a picture that like came out of me shirtless and like normally I like go through great lengths of only letting people in person see me shirtless
like I've never posted a picture online or any of that.
Ronald is the award-winning host of Wait For It,
a podcast that he says unpacks the nuanced thoughts of fat folks and all folks who think about their weight all the time.
