Listen "Loud warning bells rung on ‘inequality emergency’ in G20 report"
Episode Synopsis
Stephen Grootes speaks to Jayati Ghosh, Professor of Economics at the University of Massachusetts Amherst, about the G20’s first inequality report. Led by Nobel laureate Joseph Stiglitz and commissioned under South Africa’s G20 presidency, the report warns of an “inequality emergency” threatening democracy. It calls for a permanent panel to track inequality and propose policy fixes, revealing that the richest 1% captured 41% of new wealth between 2020 and 2024, while the poorest half received just 1%—a divide driving unrest and political instability worldwide.
