As countries try and rebuild their economies and create employment, we ask if its time for governments to implement a guaranteed job scheme. If the Olympics could be more affordable and sustainable - might it save their future? The 大象传媒's Ivana Davidovic reports. And as many parts of the world suffer a shortage of personal protective equipment for medical staff, we explore: does it need to be so disposable?

We discuss all this live with guests Rachel Cartland, who is an author and writer based in Hong Kong, and Paddy Hirsch who is in LA and is editor of the NPR podcast 'The Indicator' from Planet Money.
