Introducing: Economics from the South

COMING on 16 OCTOBER...

We rethink economics from the perspective of the Global South. 

Leading economists such as Jayati Ghosh, Jan Kregel, José Antonio Ocampo, Charles Abugre and Yuefen Li shed light on the causes and solutions of the current international debt crisis. They explore the reforms needed to ensure the global financial architecture is fit for purpose and ask whether there’s an alternative to the Bretton Woods institutions that have shaped the world’s economy since the end of the Second World War. Plus we hear from ordinary people about life in countries trapped in an endless cycle of debt distress.

Hosted by Kenyan business journalist Julians Amboko, over six weeks, with new episodes available on Wednesdays.

From the International Development Economics Associates (IDEAs) - a network of progressive economists who centre the perspectives and needs of the Global South.
