Broadcasting from Brussels, Salma shares her journey from studying economics during the 2008 financial crisis to reimagining public policy and creating spaces for radical knowledge. Discover why mainstream economics often fails to reflect real-world realities, how technocratic development models can become extractive, and why accessible knowledge and imagination are essential for genuine transformation. Salma also discusses the critical role of art as a parallel mode of inquiry and her vision for more ethical international cooperation, particularly for the Global South. Tune in for deep insights into shifting power dynamics in policy, gatekeeping in knowledge, and why hope and imagination are essential forces for a more just future. Enjoyed this podcast? Why is “complexity” used as a gatekeeping tool? It’s simple: the idea that “only experts” can understand keeps circles tight, protects authority, and excludes the public — depoliticizing people who are told issues are “too complex” for them.
