THE “CASINO” OF GLOBAL FINANCE – with Ann Pettifor
Listen now
Description
Ann Pettifor joins Max and Nabil on EQUALS. She famously predicted the global financial crash in 2007/8 and she’s worried again. She says it’s not just simply supply and demand that’s driving global food system shocks - and tells the story of how gambling-like practices in global financial markets are affecting all of us. She’s got some big ideas to on reining in capital, and why poorer countries being crushed under mountains of debt need to be able to declare themselves bankrupt. The latest in our EQUALS season on the cost-of-living crisis. Do tune in! Do leave us a review and follow us on social media. We’re at @EQUALShope on Twitter.
