This week on Time Out! Let’s Talk Policy, we explored the global economy, specifically its role in a country’s development and the distribution of economic power and resources. We started by interviewing Riley about the January 28th GameStop incident and the similarities between the US economy and economies of other countries. After, we played a game to test contestants' knowledge on the GameStop situation and the stock market as a whole. Then, we had have a discussion surrounding the question “how do different countries’ stock markets interact with one another and affect the global economy?” Finally, Sidra read her op-ed entitled “The profits of the pandemic: human life as a global currency.”
