Summary
This week, we’re bringing you something from our fellow FT podcast, The Economics Show with Soumaya Keynes.
Sir Angus Deaton won the Nobel Prize in Economics in 2015. So when he says he is rethinking many of his assumptions about the field, it matters. Today on the show, Soumaya discusses what we are getting wrong about everything from inequality to immigration to the role of globalisation in the reduction of poverty.
Soumaya Keynes writes a column each week for the Financial Times. You can find it here.
