Banks Post Record Profits, Then Use AI to Fire Thousands. Where's Justice?
Introduction:
In this episode, we explore three critical economic developments shaping the global financial landscape. First, the UK faces a daunting £20 billion fiscal gap, prompting imminent tax hikes and spending cuts as the government seeks to stabilize finances amid rising borrowing costs and bleak economic forecasts. This sets the stage for a potential policy clash with the Bank of England's inflation efforts, risking a recession and impacting the pound. Next, we examine the emergence of the 'Bessent Doctrine,' signaling an end to the long-standing presidential put as the US doubles down on its trade war with China, prioritizing economic interests over Wall Street stability. Finally, we dive into the Netherlands’ renewable energy surge, which has unexpectedly led to a €35 billion grid crisis, threatening the country's green energy ambitions and raising concerns about Europe's energy transition and dependence on China.
