Address the problem: the global housing blunder

Colm Williams, Senior economics writer at The Economist, and David Rennie, Beijing bureau chief, join to explore the intricate issues of global housing markets. They discuss how the belief in homeownership as a positive can fuel financial crises and populism. The conversation shifts to China's unique approach to religion, particularly the veneration of the sea goddess Mazu amid state control and religious adaptation. They also touch on evolving attitudes towards alcohol consumption, especially among younger generations moving towards moderation.
