How do invisible imbalances — in wealth, housing, and health — quietly shape our daily lives in Denmark? This week, Narcis and Golda explore that question through the lens of whether the ultra-wealthy should pay special carbon taxes, the sharp rise in company-owned rental properties and rents across the country, and the growing call for more public housing. Plus, they shed light on a silent epidemic affecting over 400,000 people in their sleep.
