Do you own your own body? Your own land? Your own money? The State has, at some point, told someone no to all three. This episode is about such PolicyWTFs. Your head will spin as you watch the wheels go around.
Welcome to episode 9 of Watching the Wheels, hosted by Amit Varma, Shruti Rajagopalan and Pranay Kotasthane.
We pick one Policy WTF each from our hall of shame. Pranay traces how an anti-dumping duty on a chemical input gutted India’s textile exports and women’s factory jobs. Shruti tells the story of a legitimate 1979 land sale in West Bengal, overturned in court 25 years later under an obscure right of pre-emption still on the books today. Amit recounts Romania’s Decree 770, Ceaușescu’s ban on abortion, and its human cost. Plus a nail-biting Infinite Game, & recommendations spanning jazz, Romanian cinema & British satire.
