While political writing in Maltese is more common, we often encounter economics in English language publications. We discussed their choice of language, the significance of writing in Maltese on these topics and its impact on younger readers. We also addressed the economic and political state of affairs in Malta and current outlooks on poverty, capitalism and wealth – listen to this week’s episode to see what they had to say about all of the above and more. Books discussed in this episode: L-Ekonomija f’Ilsien ix-Xjenza u l-Filosofija (Faraxa Publishing) Ekonomija għal kulħadd (Klabb Kotba Maltin) Riflessjonijiet dwar il-Ġid Komuni (BDL Books, Malta) [embedyt] https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lyDlmYDYkMg[/embedyt] SHARE POST Related Articles National Book Council Publishes its Annual Report for 2025 News 17th April, 2026 Read More Commonwealth Short Story Prize welcomes the first ever Maltese author onto its regional shortlist News 15th April, 2026 Read More Exhibitors and Event Organisers – Apply Now To Participate At The 2026 Malta Book Festival!
