Description

In this episode, host Tina Johnson and economist Jim Boyce challenge the notion that economic growth—measured by GDP—is a reliable indicator of democratic success. They argue that true democracy requires addressing inequalities in both wealth and political influence. Highlighting the limitations of GDP in reflecting human well-being, the conversation emphasizes the importance of grassroots movements in promoting equity and justice. The episode calls for a reimagined economic system that prioritizes shared prosperity and aligns with democratic ideals.
