In a political climate dominated by echo chambers, media polarization, and democratic backsliding, how do we actually get people to change their minds?

In this episode of Changed My Mind, we’re joined by Saumitra Jha, professor of political economy at the Stanford Graduate School of Business. Citing financial experiments in Israel, Palestine, and post-referendum Britain, Professor Jha shares both historical insights and behavioural evidence on how to bridge deep societal divides.


Plus, he opens up about his own profound shift in perspective: why he completely changed his mind on the relationship between global poverty and climate action.
