| 10/20/24 | ![]() 60. Trickle Down Economics | This episode is our first group discussion, dissecting one of the most debated topics in the field of economics: Trickle-Down Theory.

Originally popularised in the US economy in the 1980s, these theories have backed policymaking throughout the world, including India. How are they implemented? How have they affected geopolitical ideologies? Have they boosted economic welfare? Has that welfare really (wait for it) trickled down? Join Tanya, Prapti, Vanshika, Suryanshi, Gargi, Yashika, Pranjali, Manya, Usheer and Suhaani in this episode to find out! | 56m 40s | ||||||
