The Americans might have engineered the impossible: a soft landing… which would be an absolute anomaly in economic cycles! While we look at how this might be happening, we also investigate the many camps claiming to have been right on the cycle and the outcome.

July 13, 2023 Bastille Day Special: What makes France tick?
On the eve of Bastille Day we head to France to explore the French economy. Who really runs France, the technocrats, big business or the political class of the people? How have the recent riots changed the country? More to the point, how closer is the Republic to being run by President LePen and what would that mean for Europe? Fascinating one this, hope you like it.

July 11, 2023 The Recession that Isn't Happening
We explore why the world is not in a recession despite everything. The US economy simply refuses to buckle under the pressure of high interest rates. A key difference between 2008 and now is that that this time around, the people are not in desperate debt but corporate America is. Companies with lots of debt will struggle. Which big company might go bust first? Look at Twitter and shudder!

July 06, 2023 What's happening in Germany
Germany, Europe's most important economy, is at a turning point. It is now a massive industrial economy with no energy. For over one hundred years, Germany has managed this dilemma. But now without Russian gas, and after closing off its nuclear industry, how will Germany power itself? Plus, can its political system handle this transition without a lurch to the extreme?

July 04, 2023 Fiscal Incontinence!
What a scandal at the Irish national broadcaster tells us about how the country became the most expensive place to live in Europe. It's all about value for money and how the government's inability to keep down costs, seeps into the wider economy, pushing up all prices, making everyone feel poorer despite having more money than ever.

June 15, 2023 The Unionist strategy against Irish Unity: Poverty
Brexit was supposed to drive a wedge between the two jurisdictions of Ireland. In reality it has built a bridge: There's far more trade between the North and the South now. Demography is only going one way and the reaction of the Unionists is immiseration. How else can we interpret the Unionist default position of “the south can’t afford us” other than a strategy to stay poor so that the bill of unity might be too steep for Irish taxpayers? These may be the first political force in a democracy to prefer mass poverty to mass prosperity! Have a listen.
