In this episode, Senior Analyst Shalmali Guttal addresses the fundamental question: Is the global economy a colonial project? She argues that it is, tracing the ideological and structural roots of a system that entrenches the hegemony of a few wealthy nations. Guttal examines how institutions like the World Bank, IMF, and WTO perpetuate neoliberalism and an inequitable vision of development, while pushing for a renewed Global South solidarity to create genuinely new political and economic structures
Tune in as Shalmali Guttal shares her insights on decolonizing the global economy and building a new vision for a people-centered world, rooted in equity and sovereignty.
