Curious Muse: What About Equity?

What this episode covers

We ask the big question... In light of the recent foreign exchange rates undergoing some deep impacts from the economic choices of the former Chancellor of the Exchequer, Kwasi Kwarteng. The economy has undergone a shock reaction, plunging points to lows never before seen by generations. When it comes to equality, equity, and the distribution of wealth, how does the impact of crashes in dominant currencies help to restore the trust of people who are expecting governments to be fair, clear, and not misleading in endeavours involving the country's affairs? The new Prime Minister has barely been in power a month, and Truss is already on the rocks after the sacking of Kwarteng in response to the economic shifts that have taken place since the budget at the beginning of October.
