About this episode
World Bank insider Emily Brearley reveals shocking failures that global elites ignored
World Bank whistleblower Emily Brearley exposes how a high-profile aid project in post-war Liberia went disastrously wrong, with young women facing serious issues from male teachers on a celebrated vocational program backed by celebrities like Anne Hathaway and Nike. From junior economist to outspoken critic, she details the flawed designs, ignored warnings, and bureaucratic pushback she encountered at the highest levels.
