Inclusive Economics for ImpactAuthor: Dr. Fred Olayele
Welcome to the Inclusive Economics for Impact podcast! A fundamental failure of the current global economic system lies in its inability to explain or correct the inequitable, and often arbitrary, distribution of wealth and income. No doubt, the pitfalls of capitalism are littered all around us, but it is difficult to deny the improvements in standards of living from the capitalist mode of wealth creation. We unpack the conundrums around unfair economic designs that have perpetuated extreme inequality and poverty for too long. From practice and policy to research and scholarship, our guests are among the best in their fields.
