In the 2024 season of the Conversations on Transformation series, recorded at the STEG Annual Conference in Abu-Dhabi NYU, Tim Phillips talks to some of the speakers about the challenges and opportunities of structural transformation, growth, and economic development. 

In the last episode of this year’s series, Tim talks to Melanie Gräser about her research on how Liberia’s growth depends on mining and how different types of mining contracts—industrial versus artisanal—can have different outcomes for local communities.
