We’re kicking off the new season with a re-upload of a brilliant episode recorded last year with Charlie Robertson — economist, author of The Time-Travelling Economist, and one of the clearest voices on development.
Charlie lays out why fertility rates, not just policy or politics, are key to growth — and why high lending only happens in low-fertility countries. We get into Nigeria, Angola, Morocco, sovereign debt, and why North Africa could be the industrial surprise of the 21st century.
