Saying Goodbye To The Kojo Nnamdi Show
On this last episode, we look back on 23 years of joyous, difficult and always informative conversation.
Policymakers in the “developed” world have never been reluctant to dole out advice and dollars to developing countries struggling to pull themselves out of poverty. But critics say their advice — cutting tariffs, privatizing industries, opening up to global competition — offers a flawed take on how rich countries accumulated their wealth. We consider the critiques and whether it’s time for a new strategy for reducing global inequalities.
