GR: Is Capitalism Broken? With Mariana M...

Foreign Policy
About this episode

Behind every protest, and every election debate around the world, an underlying theme seems to be rising anger about inequality, and a sense that capitalism itself is broken. But what can be done to fix it? What can societies do to reverse some of its inherent problems? And how should this inform governments and policymakers as they shape the recovery from the pandemic.

On this episode of Global Reboot, FP Editor in Chief Ravi Agrawal interviews Mariana Mazzucato, a Professor at University College London and the author of Mission Economy: A Moonshot Guide to Changing Capitalism, and Raghuram Rajan, a Professor at the University of Chicago and the former Governor of the Reserve Bank of India and former Chief Economist of the IMF.

Global Reboot is a FP Partner Podcast with the Doha Forum.
