There aren't many women in economics. That is partly the profession's own fault.

Soumaya Keynes writes about economics for The Economist, and is the co-host of a weekly podcast on trade economics, “Trade Talks”. Prior to joining The Economist, Soumaya worked at the Institute for Fiscal Studies and HM Treasury.

This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at https://www.ted.com/tedx
