Citing Africa | Series 2, Ep 7: Explaining the hegemony of financial inclusion

LSE Podcasts

Financial inclusion has not become hegemonic because of its innate potential to improve livelihoods, but because it does not require a fundamental transformation of existing social structures. Instead, it drives the interests of major development actors. In this episode, we are joined by Julie Zollman from Tufts University to discuss financial inclusion and why it has gone viral as a solution for international development. Speakers: Tao Platt, Jolien Thomas, Sam Cressey and Julie Zollman
