Economics From The South podcast

27:12

We are here at eTail Palm Springs and seeing and hearing the latest and greatest in e-commerce and retail. Question: Do you need to choose between AI and human recommendations as a customer? Why not have both? After all, don’t each have their strengths? AI in the retail experience is all the rage these days, but today I’m talking with someone from a brand that has been incorporating AI-personalized experiences and shopping combined with expert human recommendations for over 14 years, and continues to innovate today. Today we’re going to talk about how AI-based personalization plus human creativity and input makes an amazing customer experience at Stitch Fix.

Leading economists make sense of topics like the international debt crisis and reforming global financial institutions. Plus ordinary people share their stories of life in countries trapped in an endless cycle of debt distress. From the International Development Economics Associates - a network of progressive economists who centre the perspectives and needs of the Global South. New episodes available on Wednesdays.

Alternatives to the Bretton Woods world order 28:39

16 weeks ago28:39

28:39

Academic and activist Walden Bello, from the Philippines, is a leading critic of the current model of economic globalisation - who once risked 25 years in prison to expose the extent of how World Bank projects helped support the dictatorship of Ferninand Marcos of the Philippines. He outlines how an alternative to the Bretton Woods institutions is emerging with the expansion of BRICS nations - and other global south-led institutions which are working together to expand opportunities for their economies and to pursue a greener and fairer development model.

We hear from Yuefen Li, the senior advisor on South South cooperation and development finance in the Geneva-based South Centre. She analyses the initiatives proposed by Brazil during its G20 presidency - the global wealth tax on the ultra-rich and the global alliance against hunger - and looks ahead to South Africa’s presidency in 2025. And she explores the most pressing challenges facing the Global South: from interest rate hikes; to urgent reforms needed in a global financial architecture that has stayed the same despite a massive shift in the world’s geopolitics.

Development economists Jayati Ghosh and Charles Abugre are back to explore the role of the global multilateral organisations in exacerbating the debt crisis. They take a forensic look at policies and mechanisms, including the flawed G20-led Common Framework and the IMF debt sustainability analysis.

Sri Lanka Spotlight 29:10

29:10

Over the past few years Sri Lanka has experienced its worst ever economic crisis - fuel shortages, daily power cuts, no medicines, schools having to close, inflation running at 50 per cent, mass protests. In May 2022 for the first time in its history Sri Lanka failed to make an interest payment on its external debt. It’s now under an IMF austerity programme. Ahilan Kadirgamar, a sociology lecturer from Sri Lanka, provides the wider historical context and consequences. And Prathibha Fernando, a woman who lives just outside of the capital Colombo, shares her moving story about the personal costs of such economic hardships - including on her child’s education.

Almost half the global population is affected by the current global debt crisis. Some Global South countries are now spending more on debt servicing than health, education and social protection combined. Development economists Jayati Ghosh and Charles Abugre explore its root causes and consequences. And a Kenyan barber tells us how tax increases there are affecting his business and family life - and why he took to the streets in protest.
