    Description

    The Tories want you to believe that we're out of the woods on the economy, but facts are facts: inflation is higher than predicted - particularly food prices; inflation is higher than any Western European nation; and interest rates are set to go even higher than projected. Just how bad a mess are we in - and how much worse will it get?We're joined by brilliant economist James Meadway.Support this show http://supporter.acast.com/the-owen-jones-podcast. Hosted on Acast.

    Owen Jones, journalist, author of Chavs and The Establishment, or "that left-wing idiot off the telly", is fed up with the establishment media. After all, it punches down, not up, blames minorities for all the problems in society, and, let's face it, often just parrots the government line. So this podcast is offering something different: speaking truth to power, giving the marginalised a voice, offering hope - and having a laugh along the way. From Michael Sheen to Judith Butler, Prof. Devi Sridhar to Noam Chomsky, Peter Hitchens to Chelsea Manning and Gary Younge to Stewart Lee, the interviewees couldn't be more eclectic. Expect documentaries, too, exposing injustice and going to enemy territory - and discussions with experts on everything from COVID dreams about the pandemic to the history of US-backed coups. We'll learn a lot - but above all else, have our optimism in a better world rebooted. Support this show http://supporter.acast.com/the-owen-jones-podcast.
