๐Ÿ“ฝ๏ธInterview with Harsh Mander on World Inequality Report 2026

In this episode, writer and researcher Anirban Bhattacharya speaks with Harsh Mander on rising inequality and the politics behind it. A long-time advocate of just taxation, Harsh Mander reflects on how neoliberal policies have normalised indifference to widening social and economic gaps.

๐Ÿ“Š The conversation draws on the latest World Inequality Report, which shows that inequality remains extreme worldwide. In India, the top 1% now own about 40% of the countryโ€™s wealth, while the bottom half languishes at 15% share in national income.
