About this episode
Eswar Prasad discusses his findings on the negative dynamics affecting global economic stability in his latest book, 'The Doom Loop'.
When esteemed economist and author Eswar Prasad set out to write his latest book, it was to be about the promise of some recent trends within the world's economic and power structures, but he found something darker. The Doom Loop is about what happens when the positive forces that normally bring stability begin to work against each other. In this podcast, Prasad says that the dynamics of this negative feedback loop have led to the erosion of institutions across the globe. Transcript : https://bit.ly/4d5i8Df
