G20 under Lula’s watch

<p>We hear from Yuefen Li,&nbsp; the senior advisor on South South cooperation and development finance in the Geneva-based South Centre. She analyses the initiatives proposed by Brazil during its G20 presidency - the global wealth tax on the ultra-rich and the global alliance against hunger - and looks ahead to South Africa’s presidency in 2025. And she explores the most pressing challenges facing the Global South: from interest rate hikes; to urgent reforms needed in a global financial architecture that has stayed the same despite a massive shift in the world’s geopolitics.&nbsp;</p><p>From the <a href="https://www.networkideas.org/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">International Development Economics Associates</a> - a network of progressive economists who centre the perspectives and needs of the Global South.</p><p>Sign up to the IDEAs newsletter <a href="https://www.networkideas.org/join-the-network/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">here</a> and find more resources on the IDEAs website.</p><p>Follow us on <a href="https://x.com/DevEconNetwork?ref_src=twsrc%5Egoogle%7Ctwcamp%5Eserp%7Ctwgr%5Eauthor" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">X</a>, <a href="https://www.youtube.com/@DevEconNetwork" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Youtube</a>, <a href="https://www.facebook.com/DevEconNetwork/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Facebook</a> and <a href="https://www.linkedin.com/company/international-development-economics-associates/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">LinkedIn</a></p><p>New episodes available on Wednesdays.</p>

They take a forensic look at policies and mechanisms, including the flawed G20-led Common Framework and the IMF debt sustainability analysis. And they offer up pragmatic solutions that will help break the endless cycle of debt. </p><p>And we hear from a chicken farmer about running her small business in the economic turmoil of debt-distressed Zambia.</p><p>From the <a href="https://www.networkideas.org/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">International Development Economics Associates</a> - a network of progressive economists who centre the perspectives and needs of the Global South.</p><p>Sign up to the IDEAs newsletter <a href="https://www.networkideas.org/join-the-network/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">here </a>and find more resources <a href="https://www.networkideas.org/category/themes/world-economy/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">here</a></p><p>Follow us on <a href="https://x.com/DevEconNetwork?ref_src=twsrc%5Egoogle%7Ctwcamp%5Eserp%7Ctwgr%5Eauthor" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">X</a>, <a href="https://www.youtube.com/@DevEconNetwork" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Youtube</a>, <a href="https://www.facebook.com/DevEconNetwork/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Facebook</a> and <a href="https://www.linkedin.com/company/international-development-economics-associates/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">LinkedIn</a></p><p>New episodes available on Wednesdays.</p>
