About This Podcast
What happens when a financial crash, a pandemic, a war, and a climate disaster all start feeding into each other at once? This episode unpacks the idea of the global polycrisis, a concept borrowed from historians and complexity theorists, and asks what it means for health inequalities worldwide. We trace a surprising thread connecting the two thousand eight financial crisis, Hurricane Katrina, the nineteen eighteen Spanish flu, and COVID nineteen, all showing the same pattern of disadvantaged groups bearing the heaviest toll.
