The Roundup Podcast #32
The rich world extracts trillions from the poor world. But we can't end imperialism by asking nicely.
Hello and welcome to another edition of my podcast, The Roundup.
Each week, I read you all my Substack content from the previous week in one quick episode - so you can catch up while driving, walking the dog, or cleaning your house!
Sorry this week is a bit late - I’m recording this while travelling back to the UK from France!
Asking nicely for the end of capitalism
Piketty’s Global Justice Report proves a fairer world is technically achievable. What it can’t tell you is how to build the forces capable of fighting for it.
Cuts to humanitarian and development aid cost lives. But so do the financial flows from impoverished countries to wealthy ones – which outweigh aid many times over.
That’s all from me this week - remember, if you want to listen to the podcast on your usual streaming app, you can listen on Patreon. If you’re already a paid Substack subscriber, just message me for free access to the Patreon channel :)
And if you’re thinking of becoming a paid subscriber but can’t afford it, DM me for a solidarity discount!
In solidarity,
Grace
