I had an earlier start than my usual Saturday morning but with good reason as I was moderating a Civicus plenary called Economic Justice: The Challenges. We had five panelists, , , and to keep me company and oh, just a few hundred chatty audience members.

Here's a little taste of some questions that arose from the panelists and audience comments during the session, maybe you'd like to talk about some of them further on the show?

What are the basic principles by which global financial system should work?

Could the real cost of production ever end up on a product label?

Is it time to stop demonising multinationals?

Mary Lawlor said there is no such thing as a good government. Do you agree?

Do Western governments apply human rights selectively?

Are women the answer to economic stability?

Eve from Washington who runs a parenting group asked 'Are boys getting left behind?'

Andy from Scotland asked: Do countries need to measure success in a different way? (Meaning not with GDP but with something else e.g. happiness)

Pop up your answers or add your own question below.
