The Sound of Economics
The podcast by Bruegel.
This is The Sound of Economics, the podcast from Bruegel, the Brussels-based economic think tank. Join us weekly as we discuss European and global economic policy with top thinkers and public officials, drawing on the EU’s best research, analysis and debate. Host Rebecca Christie anchors the series, including live video broadcasts several times a year.
China’s economy and relations with Europe take the spotlight once a month via the ZhōngHuá Mundus series, a monthly conversation with Yuyun Zhan, Alicia García-Herrero and guests.
