A professor of Economics at Yale University and founder/faculty director of the Yale Research Initiative on Innovation and Scale, Dr. Mobarak gives us incredible insight into the socio-political history between East and West Pakistan leading up to the 1970 Bhola Cyclone that struck modern-day Bangladesh.  Afterward, Patreon subscribers can join Fact Checker Chris Smith and Producer Amanda Lund as they revisit the board and reassess who really belongs in The Alarmist Jail.
