Of all the topics in the world, why economics and religion? My name is Aryaman Varma and I was brought up in a conservative Hindu family living in London. My introduction to religion was perhaps a strange one. When I was three, my dad was held hostage by violent religious extremists at the Taj Hotel in Mumbai, India.
My dad was one of the lucky ones, escaping with his life when many others did not. For me, this close encounter with extremism made me question the role of religion in everyday life and how it shapes world economies.
The unusualness of my experiences and the investigation of a niche and a developing topic must make this podcast a fascinating and intellectual listen.
Tune in to the Omelas podcast as I chat with economists, religious leaders and modern philosophers to help shine a light on the dark corners of economics and religion. Stream episodes through Spotify, Apple Podcasts and PodBean.
