Something’s off, and that something is the economy.

The latest drop of economic forecasting shows exactly what’s happening with the cost of living, your job, and your mortgage. It’s not looking great. But if we know what's coming, we can actually plan for it.

To help us make sense of it all, Massey University’s Christoph Schumacher is in the hot seat. He’s Professor of Innovation and Economics, Director of the Knowledge Exchange Hub, and more importantly, he can explain all of this like a real human being.

We cover:

• Why your money is feeling so tiring right now
• How much of this is the impact of the Iran war and fuel prices
• What rising inflation means for your mortgage, your job, and your everyday costs
• The NZ productivity problem, and which industries actually have a future here
• What’s happening with AI, and how AI will change your job
• When a real recovery might arrive, what it depends on, and what you can do to make life easier until then
