42. Don't Blame the IMF

The Nigerian Scam

As the Tinubu-era austerity bites harder and state repression becomes more commonplace, we examine the reactions of the general populace to the neoliberal policies usually prescribed and lauded by the IMF and World Bank. We also look at possible reasons for the reluctance of the previous administration regarding the implementation of these policies as compared to the eagerness of the current administration.

In this episode, we probe the odds that these policies are rolled back due to mass mobilization or strategic policy changes and the chances that energy alternatives are implemented amidst PMS scarcity and costliness.

What can be made of the Tinubu's cabinet reshuffle? How does the Left respond to the worsening situation inside and outside of organized labour? Listen and find out what we think.
