For the first story, we are looking at China cracking down on people with bad debts and expanding its dystopian social credit system to punish citizens with poor financial histories, as the country grapples with a housing market downturn, slowing growth, and economic challenges.
In our main story we dive into the monsoon predictions by the IMD that came earlier this week. What would an above normal monsoon mean for rural incomes and the food economy? We talk to Agricultural Policy Expert Devinder Sharma about this in today’s episode.
It’s going to be a longer-than-usual episode but stay tuned till the end.
