Political economist and director for PRIME, Ann Pettifor is famous for predicting the 2008 global financial crash.

In this conversation she unpicks how the cost of your weekly shop, monthly bills, car, house, and holiday aren't just linked, they're fixed by faceless firms and funds operating in the shadows.

Today, she discusses her new book The Global Casino: How Wall Street Gambles with People and the Planet, exposing a corrupt system while offering a truly sustainable alternative.

Chaired by Mure Dickie.

The livestream for this event will also be available on demand after the event ends.
