Inequality Talks is a podcast from the volunteers at Mellemfolkeligt Samvirke, Aarhus. Through discussion, debate, and interview, each episode explores a different concept, problem, or idea relating to issues of inequality (economic, gendered, racial, or otherwise). Each episode aims to offer an overview for the uninitiated before diving into the significance of current events, the complexities of what a given idea might mean, and what alternatives to the current status quo might look like in practice. This project has been supported by: ’Den almennyttige fond af 15. september 1968’.

In this episode, Adam, Elise, and Sebastien discuss the economic indicator Gross Domestic Product, otherwise commonly known as GDP. We talk about GDP's historical and contemporary usage, the socio-ecological implications of its shortcomings, and its powerful narrative role in shaping society's goals and, consequently, the political agenda. Aside from everything that is wrong with GDP, we also explore alternative measures for the economy and society as a whole, and theorize goals for well-being that lie beyond (and even challenge) the economic growth imperative.
