Hello everyone, welcome to a new episode of The Decenter. I'm your host, as always, Ricardo Lopes, and today I'm joined by Dr. Kajal Moran. He's a visiting fellow at the at the London School of Economics and Political Science, and he runs the popular YouTube channel on Learning Economics. And today we're talking about his book, Why We're Getting Poorer Realists' Guide to the Economy and How We Can Fix It.
So Dr. Moran, welcome to the show. I've been a very big fan of your channel, so it's an honor to everyone. Thanks so much. It's an honor to be here.
Okay, so I mean, we're going to get into what you mean by getting poorer in the title of your book through the course of our conversation today, but you start the book by talking about the 2007, 2009 financial crisis and sort of its aftermath. So Why was it such an important historical event? I'd grown up during a period of relative prosperity in the UK. We it was the new labor era and you know it's not like there were no problems, but it there was a boom, right?
