Sanctions 101

In the wake of Russia's invasion of Ukraine, global powers have put the pressure on with sanctions upon sanctions. But what does that even mean? Class is in session as Sam attends Sanctions 101 with <a href="https://twitter.com/CardiffGarcia?s=20&amp;t=caxLSS5tWti_DPGTsxmSnA">Cardiff Garcia</a>, host of The New Bazaar, and <a href="https://twitter.com/svaneksmith?s=20&amp;t=caxLSS5tWti_DPGTsxmSnA">Stacey Vanek Smith</a>, co-host of The Indicator. They talk about how economic sanctions are supposed to work and whether they can be effective enough to change anything on the ground.
