Expanding EconomicsFeminist Economics and Why Women Have Better Sex Under Socialism with Prof. Kristen GhodseeProfessor Kristen Ghodsee teaches Russian and East European studies at the University of Pennsylvania. She is known for her ethnographic work in post-soviet countries where she studies gender relations and other legacies of 20th century communism. In her book, Why Women Have Better Sex Under Socialism, she argues that when the state steps in to support families with reproductive labour and care work, women are able to gain financial independence which leads to more egalitarian and fulfilling romantic relationships. In this episode, Sofia and Professor Ghodsee discuss how exactly socialist state intervention impacted women's working lives behind the iron...2023-02-1659 min
Expanding EconomicsEcological Economics with Michael BabcockIn this episode we are joined by Michael Babcock; Ph.D. candidate at McGill University where he studies natural resource development and teaches Ecological Economics. After taking Michael's class myself, I felt that the way I viewed the discipline of economics and the world more broadly had been drastically changed. Economists of the future must be thinking about how we will go on to power society and the impacts that have on the environment, Ecological Economics provides an opportunity for us to update our economic thinking and goals to be better suited to what is arguably the most pressing...2022-09-2847 min

It celebrates the talents of DJs, musicians and lyricists whose output shaped a sound peculiar to the cultural crossroads of Montreal. As the 90s brought to light the transmissive capabilities of campus and community radio, supplying the only substantial airplay for rap music in North America, CKUT’s role in Hip-Hop’s formation within Montreal is comparable to media legacies emerging from college campuses south of the border, such as Stretch and Bobbito show on 89.9 WKCR-FM (Columbia) and The Source Magazine...2022-09-1411 min

Expanding EconomicsNIMBYism and Speculation in the Canadian Housing MarketIn this episode Sofia and Andrew discuss NIMBYism and why it is pervasive and harmful to the Canadian housing market.
After months of consecutive record breaking highs, Canadian housing prices have finally begun to show signs of decline in response to rising interest rates, but what caused this boom in the first place? Has housing just become another speculative asset or do prices reflect market fundamentals of too much demand and constricted supply?2022-08-0935 min
Expanding EconomicsInflation Pt. 3 - The Great Divide in EconomicsWelcome back to the Expanding Economics podcast, in part three of our series on inflation, we delve into the economic history of inflation to better understand why it is a problem and how we keep getting ourselves into this situation. We discuss post-WW1 Germany, the 1970s oil crisis, and how the low inflation in the decades since led us to where we are today. Finally, we ask ourselves the age-old question that has been dividing economists for decades... "is inflation a monetary phenomenon?".2022-07-2049 min

Expanding EconomicsDivestment 101While many universities are divesting from fossil fuels in response to the climate crisis, McGill University continues to invest about $40 million in oil and gas. The student activists at Divest McGill have been working hard since 2012 to change this, but McGill’s Board of Governors is not budging. In this episode, we discuss why fossil fuel divestment is important for the environmental justice movement, why institutions often claim that financial investments are not a political issue, and why McGill refuses to divest. We talk to Noah Fisher, a student activist at McGill, and Dr. Darin Barney, a former faculty representative on...2021-01-271h 02
Expanding EconomicsThe Erasure of Race in Economic TheoryIn this episode, we dive into a topic that is ignored by many economists: the role of race and group identity in economics. We have an obligation to acknowledge how, by externalizing race, economic theory upholds racist systems and perpetuates socially unequal outcomes. Our economic status quo fails to support black lives, especially amidst economic shocks such as the COVID-19 pandemic. We speak with Joelle Gamble, principal of the reimagining capitalism team at Omidyar Network, to better understand how racial bias is deeply rooted in economics— in our conception of the “economy”, its focus on objective outcomes, and in the assump...2020-07-2127 min
Expanding EconomicsThe Economy...Doesn't Exist?There has been a sense of urgency to restart the economy, given that measures to limit the spread of COVID-19 have simultaneously caused a major slowdown of economic activity. Some politicians, such as Lt. Governor of Texas Dan Patrick, have gone as far as promoting human sacrifice in the hopes of saving economic life. This sort of rhetoric that favours the economy over human life brings into question what the function of “the economy” is, if it does not fundamentally serve as a system of human subsistence and existence. In this episode, we speak with scholar of critical theory and post...2020-06-3048 min

Get in touch at expandingecon.mtl@rethinkeconomics.org2020-05-0945 minExpanding EconomicsThe Miseducation of EconomicsMost university economics students are exposed to mainly one school of economic thought: neoclassical economics. For students to have an education that promotes critical thinking and an understanding of economic events and policies, they must gain exposure to alternative perspectives, the so-called 'heterodox' schools. The Expanding Economics Podcast aims to shift the focus in economics and incorporate concepts such as environmentalism, clarity and social justice in economic thinking. In our first episode, we discuss the modern framework of university economics education, the dominance of neoclassical economics, and its drawbacks.
