While inequalities have always existed, recent decades have seen greater polarization, with certain regions attracting investment, talent, and jobs, while others have been left behind. This economic stagnation limits overall growth but also fuels discontent and political instability among affected citizens.   Host Tom Parker is joined by Andrés Rodríguez-Pose, Professor of Economic Geography at the London School of Economics and an expert in regional development. Together, they discuss the roots of regional disparities, the role of neglected regions in shaping Europe's future, and how innovation can drive economic renewal in unexpected places.  For more information on Andrés Rodríguez-Pose and his work, visit this link. Watch this episode here Hosted on Acast.
