In this conversation, Kelly Oliver Dougall interviews Emily Brearley, a development economist with extensive experience in the global South. They discuss Emily's new book, which critiques the failures of international aid and the World Bank, while also addressing the impact of gender ideology on development work. Emily emphasizes the need for humility and realistic approaches in aid, advocating for empowerment and local expertise over paternalistic interventions. The conversation also touches on class issues, the importance of education, and the challenges of speaking out against prevailing ideologies.
