from The Weekly Tradecast by UN Trade and Development (UNCTAD) · host unctadonline

The Weekly Tradecast looks at how we can bridge inequality in the global economy and create a fairer system with economist, academic and author James Galbraith. In recent decades, the economic centre of gravity has been shifting with the growing presence of big developing countries on the world stage. But many gaps and inequalities persist – just as climate change, rapid changes in technology and major shifts in geopolitics are transforming the way we live and reshaping the future of the planet. With so much to deal with, what are the priorities so that developing countries can be resilient and prosperous? Tune in to James Galbraith from the University of Texas at Austin to find out how we can get on the right track to a more sustainable and inclusive future.
