Dongo and danela take up economic issues on a multi national, sometimes even planetary scale. What do we gain from thinking about economics and politics at this scale that we might miss if we're only looking at the domestic level or the national level? Dongo: It's necessary to start from the global scale trying to understand domestic politics or domestic mac macro financial developments. Danela: We cannot understand our own tions without understanding the patterns tro which the way they sort of travel across borders,. They are influenced by what is happening abroad.
Olúfẹmi Táíwò guest hosts an interview with Daniela Gabor and Ndongo Samba Sylla on how financial power has shaped the global economic order from colonialism through Bretton Woods, the Washington Consensus, and today's Wall Street Consensus.
