Episode Three - Arguments for a rights-based economics

In Episode Three of our Economics and Human Rights podcast series, the Institute for Economic Justice (IEJ) reflects on the reasons why human rights activists haven't pointedly and consistently focused on economic policy; reasons why applying a human rights framework to economics and economic policy would be so powerful and compelling; the challenges of bringing economists and human rights advocates together; the value of activists applying a human rights lens to government budgets; an overview of feminist economics and its value in assessing and informing economic policy and budgets; and 
the intersections of feminist economics and a human rights based economics approach.
