ABOUT THIS EPISODE
Is foreign aid truly benefiting developing countries? Or is it violating the freedoms of the vulnerable? In this episode, listen in to our discussion with world-renowned development economist and author of The White Man’s Burden, Professor William (Bill) Easterly as he talks about the rights of the poor, the politicization of development, tackling racism in economics and a lot more!
Profound and reflective, our personal section features Professor Easterly discussing the importance of humility and reciprocity in economists. Further, he also shares his experiences working at the World Bank! Our thought experiment takes us back to the founding of the Bank and unearths early mistakes that have led to some of its shortcomings.
