Nobel-winning economist on causes of global inequality

Season 2024 Episode 289 | 5m 34s

The Nobel Prize in economics was awarded Monday to a trio of economists who have published research that looks at what accounts for inequality between countries and how the role of institutions, government and colonialism affected prosperity generations later. One of the winners, Simon Johnson, joined Geoff Bennett to discuss the award and some of these findings.
