Listen Later

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.
