A World to Win is a new podcast from Grace Blakeley and Tribune bringing you a weekly dose of socialist news, theory and action with guests from around the world. In this episode, Grace Blakeley is joined by Walden Bello, academic, author, human rights campaigner and former member of the Filipino House of Representatives.

The show discusses the history of the Philippines, Bello’s opposition to the brutal Marcos dictatorship, his longstanding fight against US imperialism and neoliberal globalisation (including in breaking into the offices of the World Bank to steal confidential documents), as well as how Covid-19 is affecting the Philippines.

Thanks to our producer, Conor Gillies, and our graphic designer, Kevin Zweerink, for their hard work on this episode.
