Inequity - European Conversations
by Sal & Ali
INEQUITY is a European podcast born from the encounter between two young European voices. We grew up in a continent that promised peace, openness and prosperity. Yet today, Europe seems increasingly shaped by new divisions : inequality is growing, trust is fading, social pressures are intensifying, and uncertainty has become part of everyday life. What does it mean to live a dignified life in Europe today ? Is equity still an achievable goal ? How much do the country we are born in, the family we inherit, the opportunities we receive and the choices we make shape our lives ? Each episode begins with a question to explore our times through conversations that connect philosophy, society, economics, geopolitics and everyday life. INEQUITY seeks to understand not only how we live today, but how we could live better. We do not offer easy answers. We choose nuance over certainty, complexity over slogans, and dialogue ov
