Economics and finance demystified.


A recent listener's comment:


"I first heard about ChatGPT on your podcast and immediately started using it. I’m 73 and wrote my first program at 16. Having witnessed all developments in computing down the years I think this is the greatest since www. Your pod is informative in many different areas, politics, economics, society changes, housing crisis etc but at times goes beyond that. This episode tying up all this but also the implications of AI with a knowledgeable guest. ENTHRALLING! Keep it coming."

  • 354 - The Trump effect on markets and the global economy. Somebody is getting it very wrong. Who?

    The list of reasons why Trump won is getting longer. Some make sense, some do not. We look at the evidence-based ones. One very stark conclusion: not every Trump voter thinks all that positively about the President-elect. It's simply that they find the Democratic Party even more repulsive.


    The Trump trade is on. The stock market loves the prospect of trade wars, budget-busting tax cuts and mass deportations. Something doesn't add up.


    Incumbent governments everywhere are having a very hard time. The outgoing Irsh coalition should take note.


    Old media is as wounded as the opinion poll industry. Podcasting helped win it for Trump. A billion spent on TV ads did nothing for Harris.

  • 351 - UK drowns in debt as Ireland wallows in cash - what a contrast. Labour delivers a proper old fashioned class war budget

    The first UK budget ever delivered by a female Chancellor was presented with aplomb and panache. A pity the details didn’t match up to the presentation.

  • 350 - Europe's woes deepen. They go back a long way and are suddenly getting worse - Germany's car engine has broken down

    Germany is in economic trouble. Its car industry - 7% of the economy - is being squeezed by struggling exports (to China in particular) and a poorly handled transition to EVs.


    Add in problems that go back decades and maybe its time to become a Eurosceptic again.


    If Trump wins, the Democrats need to look in mirror.
