Latin lessons: the Donroe-doctrine boost

from Economist Podcasts

For all the Trumpian chaos in Latin America, no other developing-world regional economy has done so well in the past year. We examine the Donroe dividend. The cost to make jollof rice, a staple dish in Nigeria and Ghana, is a window into the countries’ economies. And the BBC waves goodbye to its long-wave radio service.Guests and host:Cerian Richmond-Jones, international economics correspondentỌrẹ Ogunbiyi, Africa correspondentBo Franklin, senior editorRosie Blau, co-host of “The Intelligence”Jason Palmer, co-host of “The Intelligence”Topics covered: Latin America, Donroe doctrine, miningNigeria, Ghana, cost of living, jollof riceBBC, long-wave radioGet a world of insights by subscribing to Economist Podcasts+.
