Podcasts about Inequality

With inequality rising, housing out of reach, and young Americans falling further behind, some argue the American Dream is dead. But NYU professor Scott Galloway has a different take: America hasn't fallen—it's adrift. Originally recorded in late 2022, this episode features a candid conversation about what's really hollowed out the middle class: generational wealth hoarding, runaway corporate consolidation, and a political system rigged for the rich. As billionaires push for yet another round of tax cuts and working families continue to struggle, Galloway's message is more relevant than ever: America can still right the ship—but only if we change course. Scott Galloway is a clinical professor of marketing at NYU's Stern School of Business, a bestselling author, and a tech entrepreneur. He's the host of the Prof G Show and co-host of Pivot. Galloway is a leading voice on the need to rein in corporate power and rebuild the middle class. ⁠This episode originally aired December 6, 2022. ⁠ Social Media: ⁠@profgalloway.com⁠ ⁠@profgalloway⁠ Further reading:  ⁠Adrift: America in 100 Charts⁠ Website: ⁠http://pitchforkeconomics.com⁠ Instagram: ⁠@pitchforkeconomics⁠ Threads: ⁠pitchforkeconomics⁠ Bluesky: ⁠@pitchforkeconomics.bsky.social⁠ Twitter: ⁠@PitchforkEcon⁠, ⁠@NickHanauer⁠, ⁠@civicaction⁠ YouTube: ⁠@pitchforkeconomics⁠ LinkedIn: ⁠Pitchfork Economics⁠ Substack: ⁠The Pitch⁠

What if the most powerful forms of literacy aren't taught in schools—but passed down through resistance, gardens, and handwritten notes? Listen to Daniel Rudas' interview in the framework of the Redes_Ling project on language inequality.

"AI isn't just about opportunity — it's about addressing real-world challenges. And that gives Africa an edge." — Arthur Goldstuck, Founder, World Wide Worx At Cisco Live 2025 in San Diego, Technology Reseller News publisher Doug Green sat down with Arthur Goldstuck, the South African journalist, researcher, speaker, and founder of World Wide Worx, for a wide-ranging conversation on AI, technology inequality, and why Africa's challenges may actually be its superpower in the age of AI. Goldstuck, a 40-year veteran of tech journalism and author of The Hitchhiker's Guide to AI, brings a unique perspective — blending consumer insight, enterprise analysis, and a deep focus on developing economies. His firm, World Wide Worx, was the first African market research company to examine both enterprise and consumer technology adoption, creating a distinctive lens for understanding digital transformation. At the heart of the discussion was Sentinel, Goldstuck's upcoming African edition of The Hitchhiker's Guide to AI. The book reframes AI not as a threat, but as a tool for inclusion, capable of reaching underserved populations with education, healthcare, and financial access — delivered through everyday mobile devices. “If you bring AI to the edge — to the phone — and make it invisible to the user, that's when you unlock opportunity,” Goldstuck explained. He pointed to contrasts within South Africa — a nation with world-class banks and digital infrastructure, yet also vast gaps in education and opportunity. AI, if localized and embedded with intent, can help bridge these divides. Yet Goldstuck also warned of job disruption, especially in industries like contact centers, which play a major role in both South Africa and India. Drawing parallels to the decline of the horse whip industry in the early 20th century, he emphasized that while AI will displace jobs, new roles and sectors will emerge — provided we invest in people now. The conversation came full circle with a reflection on agentic AI — the next evolution of intelligent assistants — as seen in Cisco's unveiling of agentic ops. Goldstuck called it “a bridge to new possibilities,” aligning with Cisco's own branding as a technology connector. “It's not about replacing people,” he said. “It's about enabling them to participate more fully in the global economy.” For more insights and research, visit worldwideworx.com.

Welcome to episode 215 with Dr Lisa McKenzie, who is a working class academic and anarchistic author. She is a researcher and educator whose work relates to class inequality, social justice, and British working class culture and a founding member of The Working Class Collective CIC. Lisa grew up in Nottingham, in a mining community.  After she left school, she went to work in a local factory with her Mum and her aunties and never considered going to university because it was never on the table.  After her Mum passed away, she was inspired to take an access course at the age of 33, which led to a degree and then eventually becoming a lecturer. Lisa's work centres around class inequality because that's what she's experienced her whole life and, in this episode, she joins me to chat about the impact this can have on mental health. We chat about the stigma that surrounds poverty and why no one wants to talk about class and we talk about the day-to-day challenge of just about scraping by, the myth of social mobility and how damaging it is to live with the unfairness of a system that is stacked against you. We talk about the anger that comes from being ignored and let down, generational trauma and learned coping strategies and finding humour in misery as a way to cope. And we also talk about some of the wonderful things that happen in working class communities, the unseen heroes of council estates, the community coming together and the important role of storytelling in the places. You can't talk about mental health without talking about class and it's a part of the conversation that just isn't happening. This is an episode I have being trying to do for some time and it was incredible to get to chat to Lisa about her experiences and her work in this space. It's a big and complicated topic but we're not scared by that here at Proper Mental and I'd love to hear what you take from it. Follow Lisa on X @redrumlisa and Instagram @drlisa1968 Her own book is called Getting By: Estates, Class and Culture in Austerity Britain and she has also published Lockdown Diaries of the Working Class with The Working Class Collective and you can learn more at Work Class Collective You can connect with me on social media @propermentalpodcast or via www.propermentalpodcast.com.

Investigative journalists Taya Graham and Stephen Janis break down the insider knowledge surrounding Joe Biden's decline—and how the Democratic Party's culture of silence, conformity, and caution may have sealed its own fate. From the “get in line” politics that killed bold policy and risk-taking to focus groups calling Democrats “sloths,” Stephen and Taya explore why Biden was protected despite clear signs of decline, the Democratic Party's aversion to bold candidates, what Bernie Sanders and Donald Trump had in common, and why the Dems just spent $20 million just to learn how to talk to men.Credits: Pre-Production, Writing: Stephen JanisPre-Production: Taya GrahamStudio Production: David HebdenPost-Production: Adam Coley Help us continue producing radically independent news and in-depth analysis by following us and becoming a monthly sustainer.Sign up for our newsletterLike us on FacebookFollow us on TwitterDonate to support this podcast

Language shapes how we connect, how we work, and how we live. But what happens when your language is seen as less valuable? That's the question Franziska and Flor are tackling through an ambitious EU-funded initiative called ReDes_Ling, a global project focused on reducing language inequality. Franziska, a familiar voice to listeners of Radio ARA, is leading Luxembourg's contribution to the project. She's joined this month by Flor, a researcher from Argentina's University of San Martín, where she works closely with Chinese migrant communities. Together, they're part of a multi-country effort that includes partners in Spain, Denmark, Colombia, Mexico, and beyond. The project is about more than just language, it's about access. “Language inequality isn't just one thing,” Franziska explains. “It's everything from how kids succeed in school, to how migrants navigate hospitals, to whether indigenous languages are seen as valuable at all.” Flor adds that in Argentina, indigenous and migrant communities often face barriers simply because their languages aren't part of the official system. “You can't go to a hospital or school if you don't speak Spanish,” she said. “And that makes people feel excluded, like they're not part of society.” But the goal isn't to reject national languages. It's to expand inclusion. “Yes, some standardisation is necessary,” Flor explained. “But it should never come at the cost of excluding others.” So how do you reduce language inequality in a world built on dominant languages? That's what Franziska and Flor are exploring during their time in Luxembourg. Their current focus is on communication technologies. They look at how tools like radio, social media, and even AI can make information accessible in multiple languages. Radio ARA has been leading by example. What began during the COVID-19 pandemic as a response to urgent gaps in public information has since grown into a permanent multilingual programming platform. “Back then, we realised many people weren't getting updates—because they didn't speak Luxembourgish, French, German, or English,” Franziska said. Now, the station runs daily shows in 17 different languages, from Arabic and Ukrainian to Chinese and Albanian. “It's about giving communities both access and representation,” she said. And the tech side doesn't stop at radio. The team is exploring AI-driven transcription tools developed at the University of Luxembourg, and how social media platforms can better serve multilingual users. The hope is that these innovations can be scaled and adapted globally. For both Franziska and Flor, it comes back to dignity and identity. “All languages are equal,” Flor said. “It's not about the language itself, it's about who is being heard.”

The first episode of The Agenda aired in September of 2006. Two years later we were in the midst of the Great Financial Crisis. From there, the Occupy movement put the concept of the 1% and the issue of inequality front-and-centre. In the nearly two decades we've been having conversations about the economy and politics here on The Agenda, have we become a more or less equal society? Have we become a more or less fair society? And how has the anger and fallout from the financial crisis fueled the populism and seismic political shifts we are seeing today?See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Forget everything you think you know about AI timelines. The world's top AI labs now say AGI—artificial intelligence that surpasses humans at all tasks—is 5 years away, not 50. ChatGPT's 800 million users was just the beginning. When AI can teach better than any professor, diagnose better than any doctor, and code better than any developer, what happens to human work? To education? To you? This isn't futurism—it's a timeline shock that's sending universities into crisis mode.

In episode 882 of CXOTalk, Michael Krigsman sits down with Kevin De Liban, founder of TechTonic Justice and former legal aid attorney, who reveals the shocking truth about AI's impact on vulnerable communities. De Liban shares how 92 million low-income Americans now have critical life decisions, such as healthcare, housing, employment, and government benefits, that are determined by algorithms that often fail catastrophically.Drawing from his groundbreaking 2016 legal victory in Arkansas, where he successfully challenged an algorithm that devastated the lives of disabled Medicaid recipients, De Liban exposes the myth of AI neutrality and demonstrates how these systems reflect the biases and incentives of their creators. He explains why self-regulation and "ethical AI" initiatives often fail when they conflict with business interests, and why effective regulation is crucial.What you'll learn: The real scale of AI harm affecting 92 million Americans Why AI systems aren't neutral decision-making toolsHow algorithms denied healthcare to disabled people in ArkansasWhy ethical AI initiatives fail without enforceable accountabilityPractical steps technology leaders can take to prevent harmThe expansion of AI monitoring into middle-class professionsWhy regulation benefits ethical companiesHow to determine if AI is appropriate for high-stakes decisionsThis conversation challenges conventional wisdom about AI adoption and offers essential guidance for executives, developers, and policymakers navigating the intersection of technological innovation and social responsibility.Whether you're a C-suite executive, technology professional, policymaker, or concerned citizen, this discussion provides crucial insights into one of the most pressing issues of our time: ensuring AI serves humanity rather than harming those who need protection most.=====Subscribe to CXOTalk: www.cxotalk.com/newsletterRead the episode summary and transcript: www.cxotalk.com/episode/ai-failure-injustice-inequality-and-algorithmsLearn more about TechTonic Justice: www.techtonicjustice.org

What does solidarity mean to people facing occupation, war, genocide even? And what can we learn from the past 1,5 years when it comes to standing in solidarity with the people of Palestine, and people being oppressed across the globe? No easy questions, but we are exploring them in this episode with three amazing women. Rana al Qawasmi is a Palestinian nutritionist and public health specialist, Lyla Adwan-Kamara is a Palestinian-Irish disability rights activist and leader, and Michaela Rafferty is an Irish youth worker and activist with a longstanding solidarity bond with Palestine. The three of them will reflect on their experiences with solidarity both within Palestine and internationally, and what we can all do to strengthen our solidarity practice. From local to international realities, finding a moral compass to addressing fear, and small scale action to systems change – this is an opportunity to learn and reflect.

AI is changing how companies build teams and entry-level roles may not survive the shift. In this episode, Sam Jacobs, AJ Bruno, and Asad Zaman dig into how automation is reshaping the job market, what it means for new grads, and why hiring managers need to rethink what “junior talent” looks like. From the rise of AI-native workers to the disappearance of traditional training grounds, this conversation explores the real impact of AI on the future of work.Thanks for tuning in!

Many communities are seeing a spike in homelessness, with a steady rise in the number of people living in cars, parks or on the streets. Amy Williams asked those on the frontline how best to respond.

The Bush foundation announced 29 recipients of its annual fellowship Tuesday. Each of them will get a grant to help build skills and make a difference in their communities. The fellows hail from Minnesota, the Dakotas and the native nations in the region. Many of the fellows focus on racial justice. One of them is Kelis Houston. When she started working in child welfare, Kelis noticed that an alarmingly disproportional number of African American children were being separated from their families. The children were being kept away for longer and more frequently than other children. Kelis Houston joined Minnesota Now to explain the work that lies ahead of her.

In the midst of the terrible Trump tax bill moving through Congress, Ralph invites Sarah Anderson who directs the Global Economy Project at the Institute for Policy Studies to discuss the massive tax loopholes huge companies like Amazon get that allow them to pay far less in taxes than ordinary working people. Then, Greg LeRoy from Good Jobs First joins us to discuss how state taxpayers are footing the bill for these massive data centers companies like Google are building all over the country. Plus, Ralph has some choice words for passive unions and responds to listener feedback about our guest last week, Nadav Wieman.Sarah Anderson directs the Global Economy Project at the Institute for Policy Studies and is a co-editor of the IPS website Inequality.org. Her research covers a wide range of international and domestic economic issues, including inequality, CEO pay, taxes, labor, and Wall Street reform.They're (Congress is) planning to give huge new tax giveaways to large corporations like Amazon and wealthy people like Amazon founder Jeff Bezos. And partially paying for those tax cuts for the wealthy by slashing programs that mean so much to so many Americans like Medicaid and food assistance.”Sarah AndersonWe're not going to have a healthy, thriving society and economy as long as we have the extreme levels of inequality that we have today.Sarah AndersonDubbed “the leading national watchdog of state and local economic development subsidies,” “an encyclopedia of information regarding subsidies,” “God's witness to corporate welfare,” and “the OG of ensuring that state and local tax policy actually supports good jobs, sustainability, and equity,”* Greg founded Good Jobs First in 1998 upon winning the Public Interest Pioneer Award. He has trained and consulted for state and local governments, associations of public officials, labor-management committees, unions, community groups, tax and budget watchdogs, environmentalists, and smart growth advocates more than 30 years.Public education and public health are the two biggest losers in every state giving away money to data centers right now.Greg Le RoyWe know of no other form of state spending that is so out of control. Therefore, we recommend that states cancel their data center tax exemptions. Such subsidies are absolutely unnecessary for an extremely profitable industry dominated by some of the most valuable corporations on earth such as Amazon, Microsoft, Apple, Facebook, and Google.Good Jobs First report: “Cloudy With a Loss of Spending Control”They've (Congress has) known for years that the ordinary worker pays a higher tax rate than these loophole-ridden corporations.Ralph NaderIn my message to Trump, I ask him, "Why is he afraid of Netanyahu? And doesn't he want to come to the rescue of these innocent babies by saying, ‘Mr. Netanyahu, the taxpayers in this country are paying for thousands of trucks stalled at the border of Gaza full of medicine, food, water, electricity, fuel, and other critical necessities? We're going to put a little American flag on each one of these trucks, and don't you dare block them.'”…No answer.Ralph NaderNews 5/23/251. It seems as though the dam in Israeli politics against acknowledging the horrors in Gaza is beginning to break. In an interview with the BBC this week, former Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Olmert stated that what Israel "is currently doing in Gaza is very close to a war crime. Thousands of innocent Palestinians are being killed.” He went on to say, “the war has no objective and has no chance of achieving anything that could save the lives of the hostages.” These quotes come from the Jerusalem Post. And on May 21st, Haaretz reported that opposition party leader Yair Golan warned that Israel could become a “pariah state, like South Africa once was,” based on its actions in Gaza. Speaking a truth that American politicians appear incapable of articulating, he added, a “sane state does not wage war against civilians, does not kill babies as a hobby, and does not set goals for itself like the expulsion of a population.”2. Confirming this prognosis, the Cradle reports “The Israeli military has admitted that more than 80 percent of the people killed in the attacks on Gaza since Israel breached the ceasefire two months ago are…civilians.” This fact was confirmed by the IDF in response to a request from Hebrew magazine Hamakom, wherein “the military's spokesperson stated that 500 of the 2,780 killed in the Gaza Strip as of Tuesday are ‘terrorists.'” Leaving the remaining 2,280 people killed classified as “not suspected terrorists.” The Cradle compares this ratio, approximately 4.5 civilians killed for every combatant, to the Russia-Ukraine war – a ratio of approximate 2.8 to one. Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu has “claimed that the ratio is just one civilian killed for each combatant killed.” At the same time, AP reports that while Israel has allowed a minimum of humanitarian aid to enter Gaza, under immense international pressure, “none of that aid actually reached Palestinians,” according to the United Nations spokesperson Stéphane Dujarric. The renewed offensive coupled with the barring of humanitarian aid has raised the alarm about mass starvation in Gaza.3. Developments on the ground in Gaza have triggered a new wave of international outcry. On May 19th, leaders of the United Kingdom, France and Canada issued a joint statement, reading in part, “We strongly oppose the expansion of Israel's military operations in Gaza. The level of human suffering in Gaza is intolerable… The Israeli Government's denial of essential humanitarian assistance to the civilian population is unacceptable and risks breaching International Humanitarian Law…We will not stand by while the Netanyahu Government pursues these egregious actions. If Israel does not cease the renewed military offensive and lift its restrictions on humanitarian aid, we will take further concrete actions in response.” The Parliament of Spain meanwhile, “passed a non-binding motion calling on the government to impose an arms embargo on Israel,” per Anadolu Ajansı. This potential ban, supported by all parties except the conservative People's Party and the far-right Vox, would “ban the exports of any material that could strengthen the Israeli military, including helmets, vests, and fuel with potential military use.” Left-wing parties in Spain are now pushing for an emergency session to impose a binding decree to this effect.4. The United States however seems to be moving backwards. Drop Site news reports Trump's Middle East envoy Steve Witkoff made a deal with Hamas ensuring that, “the Trump administration would compel Israel to lift the Gaza blockade and allow humanitarian aid to enter the territory…[and] make a public call for an immediate ceasefire,” in exchange for the release of Edan Alexander. Of course, once Alexander was released Trump reneged completely. Basem Naim, a member of Hamas's political bureau, told Drop Site, “He did nothing of this…They didn't violate the deal. They threw it in the trash.” Besides prolonging further the charnel house in Gaza, this duplicity undermines American credibility in the region, particularly with Iran at a time when Trump is seeking a new deal to prevent Iran from developing nuclear weapons.5. Democrats in Congress are inching towards action as well. On May 13th, Senator Peter Welch introduced Senate Resolution 224, calling for “the urgent delivery of humanitarian aid to address the needs of civilians in Gaza.” Along with Welch, 45 Democrats and Independents signed on to this resolution, that is the entire Democratic caucus except for John Fetterman. On May 14th, Rashida Tlaib introduced House Resolution 409, commemorating the Nakba and calling on Congress to “reinstate support for the United Nations Relief and Works Agency, which provides life-saving humanitarian assistance to Palestinians.” This was cosponsored by AOC and Reps. Carson, Lee, Omar, Pressley, Ramirez, Simon, and Coleman. And, on May 21st, a group of eight senators – Welch, Sanders, Kaine, Merkley, Murray, Van Hollen, Schatz, and Warnock – sent a letter urging Secretary of State Rubio to reopen the investigation into the death of Palestinian-American journalist Shireen Abu-Akleh, per Prem Thakker. The Biden administration ruled the death “unintentional,” but a new documentary by Zeteo News reveals a “Biden cover-up.”6. More action is occurring on college campuses as well, as students go into graduation season. At NYU, a student named Logan Rozos said in his graduation speech, “As I search my heart today in addressing you all…the only thing that is appropriate to say in this time and to a group this large is a recognition of the atrocities currently happening in Palestine,” per CNN. NYU announced that they are now withholding his diploma. At George Washington University, the Guardian reports student Cecilia Culver said in her graduation speech, “I am ashamed to know my tuition [fee] is being used to fund…genocide…I call upon the class of 2025 to withhold donations and continue advocating for disclosure and divestment.” GWU issued a statement declaring Culver “has been barred from all GW's campuses and sponsored events elsewhere.” The moral clarity of these students is remarkable, given the increasingly harsh measures these schools have taken to silence those who speak up.7. Moving on, several major stories about the failing DOGE initiative have surfaced in recent days. First, Social Security. Listeners may recall that a DOGE engineer said “40% of phone calls made to [the Social Security Administration] to change direct deposit information come from fraudsters.” Yet, a new report by NextGov.com found that since DOGE mandated the SSA install new anti-fraud checks on claims made over the phone, “only two claims out of over 110,000 were found to likely be fraudulent,” or 0.0018%. What the policy has done however, is slow down payments. According to this piece, retirement claim processing is down 25%. Meanwhile, at the VA, DOGE engineer Sahil Lavingia, “found…a machine that largely functions, though it doesn't make decisions as fast as a startup might.” Lavingia added “honestly, it's kind of fine—because the government works. It's not as inefficient as I was expecting, to be honest. I was hoping for more easy wins.” This from Fast Company. Finally, CBS reports, “leaders of the United States Institute for Peace regained control of their offices Wednesday…after they were ejected from their positions by the Trump administration and [DOGE] in March.” This piece explains that On February 19th, President Trump issued Executive Order 14217 declaring USIP "unnecessary" and terminating its leadership, most of its 300 staff members, its entire board, installing a DOGE functionary at the top and transferring ownership of the building to the federal government. This set off a court battle that ended Monday, when U.S. District Judge Beryl Howell ruled that the takeover was “unlawful” and therefore “null and void.” These DOGE setbacks might help explain Elon Musk's reported retreat from the political spotlight and political spending.8. On May 21st, Congressman Gerry Connolly passed away, following his battle with esophageal cancer. Connolly's death however is just the latest in a disturbing trend – Ken Klippenstein reports, “Connolly joins five other members of Congress who also died in office over the past 13 months…Rep. Raúl Grijalva…Rep. Sylvester Turner…Rep. Bill Pascrell…Rep. Sheila Jackson Lee…[and] Rep. Donald Payne Jr.” All of these representatives were Democrats and their deaths have chipped away at the close margin between Democrats and Republicans in the House – allowing the Republicans to pass Trump's “Big Beautiful Bill” by a single vote. Connolly himself prevailed over AOC in a much-publicized intra-party battle for the Ranking Member seat on the House Oversight committee. It speaks volumes that Connolly was only able to hold onto that seat for a few short months before becoming too sick to stay on. This is of course part and parcel with the recent revelations about Biden's declining mental acuity during his presidency and the efforts to oust David Hogg from the DNC for backing primaries against what he calls “asleep-at-the-wheel” Democrats.9. Speaking of “asleep-at-the-wheel” Democrats, Bloomberg Government reports Senator John Fetterman “didn't attend a single committee hearing in 2025 until…May 8, about a week after an explosive New York Magazine story raised questions about his mental health and dedication to his job.” Fetterman, who represents Pennsylvania on the Commerce, Agriculture, and Homeland Security committees skipped the confirmation hearings for Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem, Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick and Budget Director Russ Vought, some of the most high-profile and controversial Trump appointments. Fetterman still has yet to attend a single Agriculture committee hearing in 2025.10. Finally, in more Pennsylvania news, the state held its Democratic primaries this week, yielding mixed results. In Pittsburgh, progressives suffered a setback with the ouster of Mayor Ed Gainey – the first Black mayor of the city. Gainey lost to Allegheny County Controller Corey O'Connor, the son of former Mayor Bob O'Connor, the Hill reports. In Philadelphia however, voters approved three ballot measures – including expanding affordable housing and adding more oversight to the prison system – and reelected for a third term progressive reform District Attorney Larry Krasner, per AP. Krasner has long been a target of conservatives in both parties, but has adroitly maneuvered to maintain his position – and dramatically reduced homicide rates in Philly. The Wall Street Journal reports Philadelphia homicides declined by 34% between 2023 and 2024, part of substantial decline in urban homicides nationwide. Kudos to Krasner.This has been Francesco DeSantis, with In Case You Haven't Heard. Get full access to Ralph Nader Radio Hour at www.ralphnaderradiohour.com/subscribe

In this episode of Now I Get It, I explore what I call a "war on reality"—a conflict playing out across education, economics, and politics. Using a personal family story, I trace the long-reaching impact of the GI Bill on class structure and opportunity in America. From there, we dive into comparative advantage, the dangers of global trade dependency, and how geopolitical hotspots like Taiwan reveal hidden risks in our modern economy.But this isn't just about history or theory. I connect the dots between economic inequality, natural selection, and the rise of right-wing authoritarianism. You'll hear how growing class divides and misunderstood trade-offs are fueling a backlash against knowledge, freedom, and innovation—and why it's critical for today's knowledge workers to care deeply about protecting social cohesion if they want to preserve liberty.In this episode, you will learn:(01:10) – How two brothers' different experiences with the GI Bill illustrate the fracturing of the American middle class(03:45) – What “comparative advantage” really means—and how it can help or hurt global stability(05:50) – Why Taiwan's chip dominance is a flashpoint in global power struggles(08:00) – How trade and tech-fueled inequality affects natural and sexual selection in society(09:30) – The political realignment of America's working class—and the Democratic Party's shifting identity(11:00) – Why rising inequality breeds authoritarianism, and how it threatens the very freedoms knowledge workers rely onLet's connect!linktr.ee/drprandy Hosted on Acast.

In its budget the coalition's clawed back money from three main areas - Pay equity, Kiwisaver and Best Start payments. The bulk of the 5.3 billion dollars saved - in fact about half of it - has come from the pay equity overhaul. 2.7 billion dollars a year, re-distributed to other priorities. Deputy Political reporter Craig McCulloch spoke to Lisa Owen.

In the wake of George Floyd's murder in May 2020, we saw a global reckoning on anti-Black racism. In response to this uprising and demand for action, universities across North America scrambled to make public commitments to racial justice. But some Black scholars in Canada say these pledges now face a challenging landscape. We talk with Dr. Cornel Grey, assistant professor in the Department of Gender, Sexuality, and Women's Studies at Western University. He joins me now.

While Trump is in the Middle East making family business deals, House Republicans today proposed their tax cut bill, with a price tag of nearly $5T, paid for with cuts to Medicaid, food stamps, green energy programs, and everything else DOGE took a chainsaw to. But who actually pays taxes these days? The US is now the world's second largest tax haven, moving ahead of Switzerland, and trailing only the Cayman Islands. Here's my 2021 conversation with CHUCK COLLINS, who directs the Program on Inequality and the Common Good at the Institute for Policy Studies and co-edits their newsletter, Inequality Weekly. We talk about his latest book, THE WEALTH HOARDERS: How Billionaires Pay Millions to Hide Trillions. You can learn more at inequality.org

Ordinary citizens are starting to realise that their dwindling share of our common wealth is no accident, but the inevitable result of the current system. As life becomes more precarious, has the time come when the ‘discontented majority' will flex their muscles and seize, by whatever means, a fairer share of the economic and social pie? Or will the world's wealthiest 1% step back from the precipice by realising that inequality is as much of a problem for them as it is for everyone else?  Myra Hamilton is an Associate Professor in Work and Organisational Studies at the University of Sydney Business School. She is a sociologist and social policy scholar whose work identifies and challenges inequalities arising from gender, age and social disadvantage. Among other things, her most recent work challenges the notion of the ‘generation wars' and seeks to uncover the workings of elite privilege and its harms. Carl Rhodes is Dean and Professor of Organization Studies at the University of Technology Sydney Business School. Carl writes about the ethical and democratic dimensions of business and work. His work endeavours to question and reformulate the role of business in society so prosperity can be shared by all.  Jordan van den Berg, an office-worker in Melbourne, is known for his reviews and visits of the worst rentals Australia has to offer by his audience on TikTok, Instagram, and Youtube as purplepingers.

How can urban housing, and the land underneath, now account for half of all global wealth? According to Patrick Condon, the simple answer is that land has become an asset rather than a utility. If the rich only indulged themselves with gold, jewels, and art, we wouldn't have a global housing crisis. But once global capital markets realized land was a good speculative investment, runaway housing costs ensued. In just one city, Vancouver, land prices increased by 600 percent between 2008 and 2016. How much wealth have investors extracted from urban land? In Broken City: Land Speculation, Inequality, and Urban Crisis (U British Columbia Press, 2024), Patrick Condon explains how we have let land, our most durable resource, shift away from the common good – and proposes bold strategies that cities in North America could use to shift it back. Patrick Condon is the James Taylor chair in Landscape and Livable Environments at the University of British Columbia's School of Architecture and Landscape Architecture and the founding chair of the UBC Urban Design program.

Their conversation digs into the unintended and often unfair consequences of bankruptcy laws, especially concerning personal bankruptcy versus corporate restructuring. Melissa and Greg also touch on the racial disparities in bankruptcy cases, the influence of the consumer credit industry, and the role of non-bankrupt players like the Sacklers in liability discharge.*unSILOed Podcast is produced by University FM.*Episode Quotes:The cost of going bankrupt in America09:35: You have to pay not to pay in America to go bankrupt. It is the kind of social insurance that requires an outlay of funds, and the bankruptcy system can't print money. It doesn't do job retraining. So the one thing it does is cancel debt, but you have to pay for that.How bankruptcy reflects broader inequality16:14: It's important to see how bankruptcy is in conversation with a lot of other laws and policies that create inequities outside of bankruptcy. And then, when they're brought into bankruptcy, bankruptcy piles on. The role of civil litigation in bankruptcy24:27: There are areas of law that depend not as much on upfront regulation but on ex-post exploration of alleged wrongs, that the civil litigation process is not merely to reward a remedy like some people think, although again, sometimes that is what people want. It is to switch the power dynamics in the control that an injured person gets to ask someone else questions, gets to shape the process. And that doesn't mean they're going to prevail. It is possible that instead of getting 3 cents on the dollar, there will be zero. But that's not really the point here. The point here, you're losing a lot of other objectives that the law outside of bankruptcy is supposed to fill. And it becomes very easy once one spends a lot of time in the bankruptcy system. Everything is about money.Bankruptcy can cancel debts but we've made it too hard to use08:34: The thing that bankruptcy can do the best, or is the most equipped to do relative to other laws, is to cancel debts. So, what is going on with the consumer credit industry in its many, many years of lobbying to make the bankruptcy system more complicated and more expensive for average families to use? It doesn't seem to have been that the bankruptcy system operates more smoothly and efficiently, because, if anything, the 2005 amendments had the opposite effect.Show Links:Recommended Resources:Elizabeth WarrenChapter 9Chapter 11Chapter 13Corporate PersonhoodSackler FamilyRegulatory Takings in the United StatesDouglas Baird PodcastUnited States Bankruptcy CourtGuest Profile:Faculty Profile at UNC School of LawMBJacoby.orgLinkedIn ProfileSocial Profile on XHer Work:Unjust Debts: How Our Bankruptcy System Makes America More UnequalGoogle Scholar Page

Send us a textWhat makes some states thrive while others trap people in place? And what does it really mean to be free to move, grow, and flourish?In this episode, I talk with economist Justin Callais about the deep connections between personal fulfillment, economic mobility, and institutional quality. We begin with the personal: why real change starts internally, and how self-mastery and agency are prerequisites for meaningful, external progress. Then, we zoom out to ask: what kinds of systems make it easier for people to rise?We explore questions like:What is economic mobility—and what does it look like in practice?Why is Utah the top-performing states on the Archbridge Institute's Social Mobility Index, while Louisiana lags behind?How do factors like governance quality, opportunity, and freedom of movement shape people's life outcomes?What role do individuals, institutions, and state policies play in promoting (or restricting) upward mobility?Justin Callais is the chief economist at the Archbridge Institute. He studies development economics, polycentric governance, and the institutional roots of freedom and flourishing.If you've ever wondered why where you live matters—or what it takes to build a society where people can truly move up in life—this conversation is for you.Want to explore more?James Heckman on Inequality and Economic Mobility, an EconTalk podcastRaj Chetty on Economic Mobility, an EconTalk podcastArnold Kling, The Kids Are...Different, at EconlibKerianne Lawson on Equal Economic Freedoms, a Great Antidote podcastJeremy Horpedahl on the Real Cost of Thriving Index, a Great Antidote podcastSupport the showNever miss another AdamSmithWorks update.Follow us on Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram.

In this episode of Road to GEM, Harvard Kennedy School's Dr. Aarushi Jain speaks with Dr. Bhaskar Chakravorti, Dean of Global Business at Tufts University's Fletcher School and Founding Director of Digital Planet, about the uneven global spread of artificial intelligence. While AI holds promise for breakthroughs in healthcare, agriculture, education, and governance, Dr. Chakravorti sounds a note of caution: these benefits are far from equitably distributed. The conversation explores how AI is being built on deeply unequal data, why access and usage remain skewed across geographies, and how business models, environmental costs, and trust deficits might further widen the digital divide. Drawing on insights from the Digital Evolution Index and years of work across policy, tech, and consulting, Dr. Chakravorti outlines six key divides shaping our AI future — data, income, usage, geography, production, and sustainability. He also shares tangible examples where AI can support smallholder farmers, underserved patients, and young learners, if deployed wisely. This episode is a must-listen for anyone grappling with AI's role in development, digital governance, and the urgent need to build inclusive systems before inequality becomes algorithmically entrenched.
