The fight to eradicate extreme poverty has been fought for years. But despite this, over 700 million people still survive on less than $2.15 a day. So is it time we talk about cash? 

In this episode Gail and Loyiso dive deep into the Global Goal to end poverty (Goal 1). They are joined by two of the most exciting speakers in this field. Rory Stewart is the President of GiveDirectly, a fast growing nonprofit that is revolutionising the aid sector by allowing donors to send money directly to those in need, with no strings attached. Rutger Bregman is a historian and bestselling author and has been at the forefront of an equally simple, evidence-based solution: Universal Basic Income. 

Guests:

Rory Stewart, President of GiveDirectly, host of 'The Rest is Politics', former politician and diplomat. 

Rutger Bregman, Historian and author of New York Times Bestsellers 'Humankind' and 'Utopia for Realists'.
