We rethink economics, challenge policies and systems that perpetuate inequality and come up with viable solutions that put people and the planet before money and profits. Leading economists make sense of topics like the international debt crisis and reforming global financial institutions. Plus ordinary people share their stories of life in countries trapped in an endless cycle of debt distress. From the International Development Economics Associates - a network of progressive economists who centre the perspectives and needs of the Global South. New episodes available on Wednesdays.
