In this episode of 1Dime Radio, I am joined by Professor Fadhel Kaboub, Professor of Economics at Denison University, specializing in Modern Monetary Theory (MMT) in the Global South, particularly Africa. In this conversation, I ask Fadhel about whether MMT applies to developing countries in the "third world" and how developing countries can achieve monetary sovereignty and economic independence. I also asked him questions about BRICS, decolonization, Degrowth, and various related topics. A lot of gold
