Danny Sriskandarajah is the CEO of Oxfam GB, one of the 21 affiliates to the non-governmental organisation Oxfam International, which works in 90 countries around the world. Oxfam consistently focuses on fighting injustice and ending poverty. In its approach, Oxfam has historically highlighted systemic inequalities and the shortfalls of the current economic system, pointing the finger at policy choices that benefit the richest and most powerful people but fail to improve the lives of the poorest. In this podcast talk, Danny and Christoph Schmocker exchange views on the increasing global inequality challenge, on which forms of collaboration and engagement of the wealthy groups can lead to change, and the role of contemporary philanthropy.
