How can macroeconomics answer the call for greater social justice?

With progress slow towards realizing the objectives of the Sustainable Development Goals and the Paris Climate Agreement, and rising demands of people for social and environmental justice, is the standard approach to macroeconomics no longer fit for purpose?

In this Future of Work podcast, the Director of the ILO’s Research Department, Richard Samans, author of the book Human-Centred Economics: The Living Standards of Nations and economic historian Lord Robert Skidelsky explore how we can begin to transform macroeconomics to deal more effectively with ongoing challenges like inequality, underemployment, precarity and environmental degradation.
