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 John Edward DeMicoli from Malta wins 2026 regional Commonwealth Short Story Prize for Canada and Europe News 13th May, 2026 Read More The 2026 Doreen Micallef National Poetry Contest is Now Open for Entries News 12th May, 2026 Read More Average Maltese person buys three books a year, survey finds News 12th May, 2026 Read More Open Call for illustration submissions for the exhibition From Illustration to Book at the Malta Book Festival 2026 News 11th May, 2026 Read More 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!
