Ukraine's foreign debt and why we should cancel it w/ Elliot Dolan-Evans
Listen now
Description
I've been working on a Ukraine episode for a while. After an interview with Yulia Yurchenko (whose book Elliot recommends at the end) was unusable due to wartime internet, I turned to Elliot Dolan-Evans in Melbourne.  In addition to being the author of the timely article "Why Ukraine needs foreign debt cancellation now,"[1] Elliot has spent time in Ukraine's Donbas region during the civil war that has been ongoing since 2014, where he conducted dozens of interviews on the subject of women's work and how it was affected by IMF-driven privatization.[2] 1. https://www.opendemocracy.net/en/odr/why-ukraine-needs-foreign-debt-cancellation-now/ 2. https://www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.1080/09692290.2021.2012223 * * * Podcast links: https://anchor.fm/halfpastcapitalism Subscribe on Youtube; https://www.youtube.com/c/HalfPastCapitalism Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/halfpastcapitalism Twitter: http://www.twitter.com/druojajay Half Past Blog: http://halfpast.dru.ca/
