Inequality Interviews: Pelle Dragsted on Nordisk Socialisme

In this episode, Chris Bay interviews politician and author Pelle Dragsted about his new book, Nordisk Socialisme (Nordic Socialism), and the ideas and questions it poses: on what we can learn from the economic alternatives that already exist in our societies, on the political dangers of the increasing concentration of wealth, on the need for new economic models to face the challenges of the climate crisis, and on how we might (re-)introduce democracy into economy.The 10 Reform Proposals in English: Expand the public sector.

Om Podcasten

Inequality Talks is a podcast from the Economic (In)Equality volunteer group at Mellemfolkeligt Samvirke, Aarhus. Through discussion, debate, and interview, each episode explores a different economic concept or policy idea, offering a brief overview for the uninitiated before diving into the complexities of what a given idea could mean, what it might look like in practice, and what all this economics talk has to do with inequality in the first place.
