Emily & Marie-Noelle braved a JHB thunderstorm to record this week's episode! Listen in as they discuss how Asia is dealing with the recent Coronavirus epidemic and what that tells us about the bigger question of development. Our guests today are David Monyae, Confucius Institute, The University of Johannesburg, Joe Studwell, journalist and author of How Asia Works, Hailemariam Desalegn, co-author and former PM, Ethiopia, and Tendai Biti, former Minister of Finance, Zimbabwe.
