This week on rabble radio, we’re sharing a clip from our most recent Courage My Friends podcast series, hosted on Needs No Introduction.
In the last four years, the world’s five richest men have doubled their wealth, while five billion people have become poorer. And where it may take over two hundred years to end poverty, we may see our first trillionaire within only ten years. Are inequality, oligarchy and monopoly power the new normal? Or is there still time to reclaim our states for people, planet, and the common good?
This week, Lauren Ravon and Michèle Biss join host of the Courage My Friends podcast series Resh Budhu to talk about Oxfam’s latest report, Inequality, Inc. and the unprecedented rise in global inequality.
Lauren Ravon is the executive director of Oxfam Canada and Michèle Biss is national director of the National Right to Housing Network.
