If you've ever wondered why the economy feels stuck, even when it seems like there's a lot more money in the system, this episode will blow your mind. Political economist Ann Pettifor joins Nick and Goldy to explain why money isn't flowing like it used to, and why that matters. Over the last century, the velocity of money (how quickly a dollar circulates) has plummeted. Today, each dollar in circulation generates up to 70% less economic activity than it did just ten years ago, so it's not being circulated through the local economies, growing wages, and building small businesses with each transaction. Instead, new dollars are just frozen in place.  The culprit? Excess money sitting at the top—hoarded by the wealthy and corporations instead of getting spent. Pettifor shows that taxing the rich isn't just fair—it's pro-growth. Redistribution accelerates the velocity of money, unleashing demand, expanding markets, creating jobs, and ultimately boosting prosperity for everyone. If you're ready to reclaim the economy from its top-down chokehold, this back-to-basics episode isn't optional—it's essential. Ann Pettifor is a British political economist, author, and Director of Policy Research in Macroeconomics (PRIME). Known for correctly predicting the 2008 financial crisis, her work spans sovereign debt, macroeconomics, and sustainable development. She's the author of The Production of Money and The Case for the Green New Deal, and directs groundbreaking research that puts money creation and equitable growth at the center of economic policy.

The US has imposed a punitive 25% tariff on India. President Trump warns more could follow. It's a spectacular change from six months ago when the leaders of the two nations declared their warm friendship at the White House. So what went wrong? And what's next?

In this episode of All Things Policy, Bharath Reddy and Carl Jaison speak to Pranav Gupta, Doctoral Candidate at University of California, Berkeley on initial findings from a survey conducted by the Centre for Policy Research & Governance (CPRG), which surveyed close to 6000 students across Delhi's universities and colleges to understand how AI is transforming higher education. They discuss the use cases for which students are increasingly turning to AI tools but also the challenges arising out of ethical concerns, trust issues, and technical hurdles. They also address the future pathways of AI adoption in higher education and whether government policy interventions need to be considered.All Things Policy is a daily podcast on public policy brought to you by the Takshashila Institution, Bengaluru.⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Find out more on our research and other work here: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://takshashila.org.in/research-areas⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Check out our public policy courses here: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://school.takshashila.org.in⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠

A groundbreaking new study published in the British medical journal The Lancet Global Health finds that unilateral economic sanctions—most of which are imposed by the United States—lead to approximately 564,000 excess deaths worldwide each year. Up to half of these deaths are children. While sanctions are often touted as an alternative to military force, this research shows they can devastate public health, cause severe food and medicine shortages, and drive mortality rates to levels comparable to those seen in armed conflicts. In fact, the findings suggest that sanctions are about as deadly as military conflicts around the world each year. Joining me to discuss this new study is one of its authors, Mark Weisbrot of the Center for Economic and Policy Research. We begin by examining his key findings and then explore how and why sanctions end up killing so many people globally. https://www.globaldispatches.org/40PercentOff Mark Weisbrot's research.

Vietnam has long had to carefully calibrate its relationship with, China, its giant neighbor to the north. The two sides have a history of cultural and economic exchange as well as invasion and occupation going back to antiquity. Today, the People's Republic of China and the Socialist Republic of Vietnam have similar political systems and successful economies. Hanoi nonetheless seeks to break out of a dependency relationship with Beijing, maintain its territorial claims, and assert its autonomy even as it looks to deepen economic cooperation. Joining Carnegie China non-resident scholar Ian Chong to discuss these issues are Huong Le Thu, deputy director of the Asia Program at the International Crisis Group and Chair of Australia-Vietnam Policy Institute Advisory Board, and Nguyễn Khác Giang is visiting scholar with the Vietnam Studies Programme at the Institute of Southeast Asian Studies - Yusof Ishak Institute in Singapore and previously head of the Political Research Unit at the Vietnam Institute for Economic and Policy Research in Hanoi.

Introduced in 2003, statutory paternity leave, allows most new fathers and second parents in the UK to take up to two weeks off work. As a result, according to a new report from the Institute for Policy Research at the University of Bath, women continue to shoulder most of the care burden after childbirth. The report calls on the UK government to introduce six weeks of well-paid paternity leave, arguing the move would promote gender equality, support working families and boost economic growth. Nuala McGovern is joined by co-author of that report Dr Joanna Clifton-Sprigg.This summer, women's sport takes centre stage across the BBC and especially here on Woman's Hour where we'll be keeping you up to date across all the action.

This week on CounterSpin: We've always heard that racists hate quotas, yet Stephen Miller's “3000 a day, however which way” mandate is terrorizing immigrant communities — brown immigrant communities — around the country. The response from people of conscience can look many ways: linking arms around people in danger, absolutely; vigorously disputing misinformation about immigrants, whether hateful or patronizing, also. But another piece is gaining a deeper, broader understanding of migration. News media could help answer one implied question — “Why is anyone trying to come to the U.S. anyway?” — by grappling with the role of conditions the U.S. has largely created in the places people are driven from. We talk about that largely missing piece from elite media's immigration coverage with Michael Galant, senior research and outreach associate at the Center for Economic and Policy Research. Anyone who pays attention and cares can see that the Trump budget bill is a brazen transfer of resources from those that are trying to meet basic needs to those that can't remember how many houses they own. But corporate reporting rarely breaks out economic policy in terms of how it affects different people — especially how it affects communities for whom they show no consistent concern. Economic policy is itself racialized, gendered, regionalized, targeted. Humanistic journalism would help us see that. LaToya Parker is a senior researcher at the Joint Center for Political and Economic Studies and co-author, with Joint Center president Dedrick Asante-Muhammad, of the recent piece “This Federal Budget Will Be a Disaster for Black Workers.”   The post Michael Galant on Sanctions and Immigration / LaToya Parker on Budget's Racial Impacts appeared first on KPFA.

On the radio show this week, we dive into wins for Paid Family Medical Leave at the state level, as well as the decades-long fight for a national paid family medical leave program and recent legislative wins like the Pregnant Workers Fairness Act and the PUMP Act. We hear about the economic impact of unpaid care work, with mothers contributing an estimated $450 billion in unpaid labor annually and facing significant wage gaps and workplace discrimination, particularly mothers of color. We cover the challenges of family separation, the lack of legal representation for unaccompanied minors, and the cruel Trump practices that are unfairly terrorizing immigrant families and communities. We discuss strategies to close the wage gap between men and women (and between moms and dads), and how closing the wage gap would boost the overall economy.   SPECIAL GUESTS: Sharita Gruberg, National Partnership for Women and Families, @npfw; Kate Bond, Institute for Women's Policy Research, @IWPRResearch; Jennifer Hojaiban, Kids in Need of Defense (KIND), @supportKIND, @supportkind.org; Deborah Vagins, Equal Rights Advocates & Equal Pay Today, @debvagins, @EqualRightsAdv, @EqualPay2dayOrg

Friend of the podcast Dan Clifton returns to Beyond the Benchmark to help make sense of the ongoing Trump tariff saga and his ‘big beautiful bill'. Trump's economic trials and tribulations are also set against the backdrop of a radical shift in the way the US conducts foreign affairs, as signalled on his recent trip to Qatar in a speech which has been surprisingly overlooked by most.

What part should politics play in our everyday lives? In How to Think About Politics: A Guide in Five Parts (Oxford University Press, 2025) Peter Allen, a professor of Politics and Co-Director of the Institute for Policy Research at the University of Bath, explores this question across a range of practical and philosophical examples. The book directly challenges the conventional academic understanding of politics, showing how politics is much more than election polls or parliamentary behaviours. This broader view of the politic allows the book to offer insights as to what needs to change in political systems, as well as more generally in societies. A much needed and urgent intervention on the current state of our world, the book should be widely read by any readers interested in politics today. Learn more about your ad choices.

Our conversation this week is with Vivian Van Gelder, Director of Policy & Research at the Southeast Seattle Education Coalition, a nonprofit that unites more than 50 community organizations, schools, parents, and caregivers behind advocacy for equitable education policy. Vivian is the lead author of a report called Left to Chance: Student Outcomes in Seattle Public Schools, A forensic history. It's a sweeping and detailed analysis of one public school district's leadership and policy choices over more than three decades and how those choices have shaped the educational experience of tens of thousands of students attending more than 100 schools.In her report, Vivian uncovers the story of how Seattle Public Schools embraced an experiment in local control, allowing parents and students to “vote with their feet” for support of their local schools. In theory, competition drives innovation; in practice, the story was more complicated, and it produced a fractured district with a hundred mini-systems that were unevenly funded, under-supported, and almost invisible to central leadership.We think there's a lot to be learned from this report and from researchers like Vivian who are doing the hard work of holding intractable social problems up to the light in a way that can spark progress and ignite momentum behind reform. We spend significant time discussing Seattle Public Schools in this episode, but Katie and I were struck by just how familiar some of these tensions are to what we've heard from educators in Appalachian Ohio, or to friends in suburban Maryland and rural Alaska and the Deep South. Vivian's work addresses universal questions of values and organizational leadership in public schools, and we encourage you to read it (we will link to it in our show notes).Thanks for listening to 16:1, and don't forget to sign up for our email newsletter for the latest news, resources, workshop offerings, and episode announcements from Moonbeam Multimedia.

On April 13, a runoff presidential election between the incumbent Daniel Noboa and the progressive candidate Luisa Gonzalez was held in Ecuador. Leading up to the election, a very tight race was expected and conditions pointed to a likely victory by Gonzalez. However, on election day, Noboa was declared the winner with a lead of more than 11%. Clearing the FOG speaks with Pedro Labayen Herrera, who is a researcher at the Center for Economic and Policy Research where he focuses on Ecuador. Labayen was present for the elections. He reports on the scandals just before the election, violations of the Constitution by Noboa and what happened on election day.

The Rich Zeoli Show- Full Episode (04/15/2025): 3:05pm- While speaking with the press from the Oval Office alongside President Donald Trump, El Salvador President Nayib Bukele revealed that he has no plans to return Kilmar Abrego Garcia who was deported to El Salvador after the Trump Administration determined he was in the U.S. illegally and a member of the gang MS-13. In a recent ruling, the Supreme Court determined that Abrego Garcia's deportation was, in part, the result of an “administrative error” and that he should “facilitate” his return to the United States—though, after the error is corrected, he would ultimately be eligible for deportation anyway. While speaking with the press, Homeland Security Advisor Stephen Miller denied an administrative error ever occurred. The Trump Administration also noted that because Abrego Garcia is a citizen of El Salvador, they have no recourse if Bukele denies their request for release. 3:10pm- On Monday, chip maker Nvidia announced that it is investing $500 billion in American-made supercomputers used for artificial intelligence. The domestic manufacturing is expected to create over 100,000 jobs. 3:20pm- According to reports, China has suspended exportation of rare earth minerals and rare earth magnets—two components critical to modern technology. The move comes in response to the Trump Administration placing a 145% tariff on Chinese imports. 3:40pm- On Monday, the Trump Administration announced it was placing a $2.2 billion freeze on Harvard University's funding. Earlier this year, the administration terminated $800 million in grants to Johns Hopkins University. Rich jokes that Matt's two schools are being targeted—is he the reason? 4:05pm- Tony Shaffer—New York Times Bestselling Author, Retired U.S. Army Reserve Lieutenant Colonel, & President of London Center for Policy Research—joins The Rich Zeoli Show to discuss the Trump Administration declassifying over 700 documents relating to the FBI's mishandling of the Steele dossier which falsely linked Donald Trump's 2016 campaign to the Russian government. 4:20pm- Matt says he deserves full credit for getting President Donald Trump to call into the show on election night…which causes Rich to yell at him even more than as typical. 4:30pm- While speaking with the press from the Oval Office alongside President Donald Trump, El Salvador President Nayib Bukele revealed that he has no plans to return Kilmar Abrego Garcia who was deported to El Salvador after the Trump Administration determined he was in the U.S. illegally and a member of the gang MS-13.

The Trump Administration also noted that because Abrego Garcia is a citizen of El Salvador, they have no recourse if Bukele denies their request for release. 5:55pm- CNN's Harry Enten reveals “shocking” polling results which indicate Republicans are now tied with Democrats as the party which shows empathy for American citizens. Historically, this has been a polling question dominated by the left. 5:00pm- Dr. Wilfred Reilly—Professor of Political Science at Kentucky State University & Author of “Lies My Liberal Teacher Told Me”—joins The Rich Zeoli Show to discuss the pharmaceutical industry, Stephen A. Smith's chances of being the Democratic nominee for president in 2028, and Anderson Cooper getting scolded for misgendering an audience member during a town hall event, and Cory Booker giving people hugs. 5:35pm- Susan Crabtree—RealClearPolitics National Political Correspondent & Author of the book, “Fools Gold: The Radicals, Con Artists, and Traitors Who Killed the C ...

Given deeply polarized domestic politics and insufficient international commitment to the Paris Accord, can we reduce greenhouse gas emissions and avert some of the worst effects of climate change before it's too late? It's an elemental question that warrants despair, yes, but plenty of hope too. Political scientist Leigh Raymond, a 2021-22 CASBS fellow, explores the implicated issues through a conversation about "Into the Clear Blue Sky: The Path to Restoring Our Atmosphere" with its author, sustainability scientist Rob Jackson.

This week, we welcome back to the program the Director of the Center for Public Opinion and Policy Research at Winthrop University, Dr. Scott Huffmon. We usually have Dr. Huffmon on to discuss the prestigious Winthrop Poll, known as the most reliable and comprehensive poll regarding issues and politics in South Carolina. Today, however, Dr. Huffmon joins us to discuss a fascinating class he teaches: Politics and Society in Middle Earth: The Lord of the Rings. What can Tolkien's epic fantasy trilogy, with its themes of alliances and rivalries between individuals from different races, teach us about society and politics in our own time? Let's find out. You can follow Dr. Huffmon on X at @HuffmonPolitics.   This episode was edited by Gary Fletcher. 

In this episode of The P.A.S. Report Podcast, Professor Nick Giordano sits down with Lt. Col. Tony Shaffer, head of the London Center for Policy Research, to dissect the Biden administration's catastrophic foreign policy missteps and explore the uphill battles awaiting Donald Trump in his second term. From the ongoing threats posed by Russia and China to the fallout in Afghanistan and Turkey's growing assertiveness, Lt. Col. Shaffer provides a no-holds-barred analysis of America's weakening global position. Together, they unravel the systemic failures of American foreign policymakers, critique the Neocon obsession with military intervention, and discuss why spreading democracy often backfires, creating more instability than security.   Episode Highlights: Biden's Foreign Policy Blunders: How the administration's missteps have emboldened adversaries like Russia and China.
