Fadhel Kaboub: Free Trade Isn’t Free: Food Sovereignty And Why It Matters


The MMT Podcast with Patricia Pino & Christian Reilly has this great episode #131 Fadhel Kaboub: Free Trade Isn’t Free: Food Sovereignty And Why It Matters.

Here is is from YouTube #131 Fadhel Kaboub: Free Trade Isn’t Free: Food Sovereignty And Why It Matters.

Patricia and Christian talk to economist and President of the Global Institute For Sustainable Prosperity Professor Fadhel Kaboub about how global food and energy systems have been fostered to benefit the global north at the expense of the global south, and how understanding modern money is vital to untangling the mess.


Another great interview with Fadhel Kaboub. The more I listen to the podcasts the more details I learn about the topic. Don’t expect to learn everything by listening to only one podcast.

What has always worked to enhance my learning about any subject is to get some exposure to the topic by reading a book, listening to a lecture, listening to a podcast. In between listening, think about what you have learned, develop questions about what you didn’t understand, and then go back to a source for more information. You get more out of it each time you have put some thought to it, and have a deeper appreciation for what you are hearing.

When I talk about developing questions that is the opposite of just accepting what you hear. Maybe upon first listening, you think you have understood, but I don’t think you really understand until you notice there are holes in your understanding.
