Standing Up To The Empire: Reclaiming Southern Multilateralism I In conversation with Biswajit Dhar

In this episode, economist Biswajit Dhar examines how the concept of multilateralism has never truly served the interests of developing countries. He discusses how institutions like the Bretton Woods system were designed to benefit the Global North, and how the current political climate is accelerating a crisis for countries in the South. Dhar highlights how the US uses trade as a political tool and argues for the urgent need for collective action to resist this dominance.

Tune in as Biswajit Dhar shares his insights on rethinking globalization and mobilizing a powerful pushback for a more equitable global system.
