In this episode of the MarketPlace Mocha, I have with me my friend Maro Okiti, a political and economic enthusiast. As many countries have put in place some sort of lockdown measure, we discuss the economic impacts of the lockdown on the world economy, as well as specific economies- the US and Nigeria, and the economic perspective behind the pressure to ease lockdowns worldwide.
