Summary: The Sustainable Development Goals include the concept of universality to recognize that the challenges of human development are not confined to low-income countries. In this episode, we take a deeper look at the daunting human development challenges in the United States. What are the parallels and shared lessons between domestic and global development challenges and solutions, particularly with respect to addressing poverty and inequality? To end this season’s look at the darker side of development, Patrick Fine, Chief Executive Officer of FHI 360, sits down with David Dodson, President of MDC, a nonprofit working on issues of poverty and power in the U.S. South. They discuss the structural issues that lead to inequality, the importance of place-based institutions to combat poverty and the ebb and flow of progress within development. FHI 360's Chief Executive Officer, Patrick Fine, hosts conversations with creative thinkers, respected leaders and local actors who are at the forefront of human development and who bring diverse perspectives to timely, high-stakes and sometimes controversial issues affecting people around the world.
