Inequality, power and the fight for a fairer world with Jayati Ghosh

Inequality, power and the fight for a fairer world with Jayati Ghosh

Why have a decade of global commitments failed to deliver a fairer world, and what would it actually take to build one?

In this episode of The Club of Rome Podcast, Till Kellerhoff speaks with Jayati Ghosh, economist, member of The Club of Rome and professor at the University of Massachusetts Amherst, about why the promise of 2015 — the SDGs, the Paris Agreement, a moment of collective ambition — has given way to a world of deepening inequality, democratic erosion and concentrated power.

The episode explores how the neoliberal framework underlying the SDGs was always likely to undermine them, why progressive forces have struggled to channel public anger into transformative change, and how a tiny group of ultra-wealthy individuals has come to shape laws, institutions and the course of global events in ways unprecedented in history.

They discuss the urgent need to shift from GDP growth as a proxy for progress towards economies that deliver dignity, decent work and basic security for all — and why communicating that vision in simpler, more direct terms has never been more important.

This episode maps out where the possibilities for genuine systemic change still lie, and why, even now, there are reasons not to abandon hope.
