Is the solution hiding in plain sight? Political choices for a new economic model

Episode 2 is dropping on June 24! Don’t miss it!

Economist Dr. Jayati Ghosh unpacks how our dominant economic model perpetuates inequality, disregards environmental constraints, and continues to marginalize the unpaid care sector. She questions the conventional fixation on GDP as a benchmark for a country’s progress and contends that the existing global financial system perpetuates global power disparities that results in the neglect of the needs and rights of billions of people across the world.
 
Dr. Ghosh argues for a ‘human rights economy’ focused on dignity, fairness, and sustainability. Drawing from her research on unpaid care work via the "5Rs (Recognize, Reduce, Redistribute, Reward, Represent) and reimagining global financial systems, she outlines a transformative approach that places human rights at the center of economic policy.
