The Economic Globe

In this episode of The Economic Globe, Isa and Aarush explore how Japan has managed to sustain one of the world’s largest government debt burdens without experiencing a conventional debt crisis. From ultra-low interest rates and the Bank of Japan’s role in the bond market to monetary sovereignty and the relationship between economic growth and debt, they investigate why Japan’s situation is so unusual — and whether it can last as borrowing costs rise.

In this episode of The Economic Globe, Isa and Aarush explore what Brexit actually changed in the UK economy. From new trade frictions and business uncertainty to investment and productivity, they look at how leaving the EU affected firms — and why measuring the true economic impact is far more complicated than simply looking at GDP or exports.

In this episode of The Economic Globe, Isa and Aarush explore why rational people can still make bad decisions. From the Prisoner’s Dilemma and Nash equilibrium to bank runs, repeated games and behavioural economics, they look at how individually logical choices can sometimes create worse outcomes for everyone — and question whether people are really as rational as economic models assume.

Unemployment rises. Growth slows. So why might the stock market go up?

In this episode, Isa and Aarush explore how expectations and interest rates can turn bad economic news into rising share prices—and why a market rally doesn’t mean everyone is better off.

Where does your money actually go?

In the first episode of The Economic Globe, Isa and Aarush trace how money moves through the economy—from our income to the businesses, workers and governments receiving our spending. We explore MV = PY, how money’s circulation affects prices and output, and why lifestyle inflation means earning more does not always make us feel richer.

Your money rarely disappears—it simply moves somewhere else.
