This week on Open Sources Guelph we're talking war and price. No, you read that right. On the war front we're going back to Gaza where the prospects for peace have not improved, and along with that it's going to get tougher to express your thoughts on war if you're protesting in Toronto. As for price, that's what we've got our guest here to talk about as we dig into money matters with an expert. This Thursday, May 29, at 5 pm, Scotty Hertz and Adam A. Donaldson will discuss: *Now* It's a Genocide? Wednesday was the 600th day of the War in Gaza. What started with a terrorist attack led by Hamas on October 6, 2023 has gone on for nearly two years and has nearly decimated Gaza killing 53,000 mostly civilians in the process. But in recent days a tide has been turning. More and more people are saying outloud that Israel's actions in the last 600 days have not been about security, but about wiping Gaza of all Palestinian presence. Is the taboo finally off calling this a genocide? On the Bubble. Last week, the City of Toronto passed a new bylaw saying that you cannot protest within 50 metres of a school, childcare or place of worship. The 16 councillors who voted in favour say it was a necessary move to guarantee security, while the nine who voted against it consider it an erosion of free expression and freedom of assembly, and on top of that, the city solicitor's apparently unsure of it's constitutionality. Has Toronto bitten off more than it can chew here? Inflation Agent. The rate of inflation is trending down, which is supposed to be good news, right? The Chartered Professional Accountants of Canada is not so sure. According to their analysis, any loss of inflationary pressures is short-term, and then there's the rampant unpredictability in the market right now thanks to the tariffs. David-Alexandre Brassard, Chief Economist of CPAC will join us talk about his perspective on the current economic picture and why we're not out of the woods yet! Open Sources is live on CFRU 93.3 fm and cfru.ca at 5 pm on Thursday.

A lack of consensus at the Reserve Bank on yesterday's cut to the OCR reflects the global economic uncertainty. The Monetary Policy Committee has dropped the cash rate 25-basis points to 3.25%, and now expects to reach a 2.9% low-point in December. However, further cuts are uncertain, with the bank adopting a watch and wait approach. ASB Chief Economist Nick Tuffley told Ryan Bridge they still believe we'll get another cut next month, but it's uncertain how far the Bank will go. He says it's possible we will pause at some point.

Episode 419 is the fifth episode in the Hundred Year Pivot podcast series. In it, Demetri Kofinas and Grant Williams speak with fmr. Chief Economist for the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency, Dr. Charles Calomiris about America's economic emergency and what our response to it should be once conditions push the country into a full-blown political crisis at some point over the next few years. In this incredibly timely conversation, Charles Calomiris explains what the recent moves in gold, bitcoin, and long-term bond yields suggest about where we are on the path toward financial repression as we explore the implications of this trajectory for investors, businesses, and everyday depositors who will be conscripted in the battle to fight the deficit as the nation moves from spending like a banana republic to inflating like one.

Tariffs and stock market movements remained top of mind for consumers in May. The Expectations Index—based on consumers' short-term outlook for income, business, and labor market conditions—showed modest improvement overall. Expectations for business conditions and the labor market inched up but stayed in pessimistic territory.

The Reserve Bank's expected to cut interest rates again this afternoon, to aid economic recovery. Economists are projecting a 25 basis point OCR cut to 3.25% - the lowest cash rate since September 2022. Westpac chief economist Kelly Eckhold says beyond that, there's a bit more debate. He says told Ryan Bridge Westpac is forecasting they'll stop at three percent. Eckhold says next year if the global environment looks weak, then inflation could fall back quite rapidly - so some commentators are suggesting rates could get to 2.5%.

In this episode, C.A.R. Senior Vice President Sanjay Wagle sits down with Vice President and Chief Economist Jordan Levine to discuss California's 2025 housing forecast. They explore what's ahead for buyers, sellers, and the broader market—and why housing remains central to both personal financial growth and the state's economic outlook. The conversation covers the impact of shifting inventory levels on sales activity, the challenges of a persistently undersupplied market, and why trying to “time the market” may not pay off. With thoughtful analysis and practical takeaways, this episode offers a clear-eyed look at what to expect in the months ahead. “California's chronically undersupplied, meaning that outside of wild cards and curve balls in the economy, prices have only ever gone one way over the long term. You can always take advantage of lower rates if they go down in the future, but you can never jump in the time machine and go back and pay the cheaper price.” – Jordan Levine, C.A.R.'s Vice President and Chief Economist.

As a young chess star, Dr. Rogoff actually dropped out of high school to move to Europe and pursue chess professionally, but by age 18 he had returned to the U.S. and enrolled at Yale. He would remain active in chess for many more years, but his top priority gradually switched from chess to academics, and he eventually quit chess entirely (save for an exhibition game against Magnus Carlsen in 2012) Dr. Rogoff still loves chess and thinks about it all the time, but economics turned out to be the right decision for him, as he has become a distinguished professor who has worked as the Chief Economist at the World Bank, and has met 8 different U.S. Presidents in his life. His new book, Our Dollar, Your Problem,intersperses occasional lessons from his chess career while providing a modern history of the U.S. dollar as the reserve currency. This interview focuses primarily on Dr. Rogoff's chess career, but those interested in his reflections on the global economy should stay tuned until the end of the interview, and should definitely check out his new book.

In Episode 254 of The Julia La Roche Show, legendary economist Dr. Lacy Hunt, Chief Economist at Hoisington Investment Management, analyzes what he calls an economic "interregnum" where five convergent forces are aligning to depress growth. Dr. Hunt methodically explains how tariffs will ultimately prove deflationary rather than inflationary, why the Fed's restrictive monetary policy is misplaced, how federal spending cuts are creating headwinds, why massive debt overhang limits policy effectiveness, and how changing demographics will impact long-term prospects. With over 56 years of experience and historical perspective dating back to the 1920s, Dr. Hunt delivers a sobering but authoritative prediction that recession lies ahead in 2025, describing it as "a long, difficult slog" rather than a brief downturn.Sponsor: This episode is brought to you by Monetary Metals. https://monetary-metals.com/julia Dr. Hunt is an internationally known and award-winning economist. He received the Abramson Award from the National Association for Business Economics for "outstanding contributions in the field of business economics."  Dr. Hunt is Executive Vice President and Chief Economist of Hoisington Investment Management Company (HIMCO).This is the 56th year in Dr. Hunt's career. He served as a Senior Economist for the Federal Reserve Bank of Dallas.

In this episode of The Distribution, host Brandon Sedloff welcomes back Sabina Reeves, Chief Economist and Head of Insights at CBRE Investment Management, for a global tour of the forces reshaping capital flows, investment strategy, and real estate allocation in 2025. Sabina breaks down how macroeconomic shocks, geopolitical realignment, and inflationary pressures are driving a new phase of regional divergence. She explains how allocators are recalibrating their assumptions across the U.S., Europe, and Asia-Pacific, and why fundamentals alone are no longer enough to make allocation decisions. The conversation spans real estate, infrastructure, and private markets—with an emphasis on nuance, context, and long-term thinking. Key topics include: Why Europe is showing signs of economic reflation, led by Germany and Spain Japan's investment appeal as it exits decades of deflation How the U.S. is grappling with stagflation risk and pricing in a new risk premium The bifurcation between modern and legacy logistics and its implications for asset values Real-time insights into sectors like retail, residential, office, and data centers How AI is accelerating “corporate ozempic” and reshaping operational headcount and capital deployment Sabina also shares her perspective on how institutional investors are (and aren't) adapting to technological transformation, the evolving role of data in decision-making, and what it will take for the real estate industry to match the sophistication of the tenants it serves. This conversation is a must-listen for anyone allocating capital, building real assets strategies, or trying to understand what's next in an increasingly complex global market.

The typical automobile manufactured in North America crosses national borders at least six times before it's ready to be sold. Tariffs are expected to increase US auto prices by thousands of dollars as companies establish new supply chains and onshore manufacturing with higher production costs. In this episode, we talk with Jonathan Smoke, Chief Economist with Cox Automotive, about the complexity of auto manufacturing supply chains, tariffs' impacts on prices and employment in the auto sector, and the outlook for a less globally integrated auto industry.

What does “abundance” actually mean—and who is it really for? In this episode, Goldy and Paul welcome back economic policy expert Mike Konczal to unpack the big new idea dominating political discourse: abundance. They dive into the buzz around Ezra Klein and Derek Thompson's book “Abundance,” and Konczal's sharp critique of its deregulatory leanings, missed opportunities, and neoliberal undertones. From housing policy to green energy to the myth that deregulation alone can fix America's problems, this episode challenges the idea that more is always better, and asks what it would really take to build a future that's abundant for everyone—not just the rich. Mike Konczal is the Senior Director of Policy and Research at the Economic Security Project, where he oversees policy development, research, and strategic analysis to advance its ideas. Previously, he served as a Special Assistant to President Biden for Economic Policy and Chief Economist for the National Economic Council.  Social Media: @mtkonczal.bsky.social @mtkonczal Further reading:  Democracy Journal - The Abundance Doctrine Abundance By Ezra Klein & Derek Thompson  Why Nothing Works: Who Killed Progress—and How to Bring It Back By Marc Dunkelman  NBER Working Paper - Supply constraints do not explain house price and quantity growth across U.S. cities Website: http://pitchforkeconomics.com Instagram: @pitchforkeconomics Threads: pitchforkeconomics Bluesky: @pitchforkeconomics.bsky.social Twitter: @PitchforkEcon, @NickHanauer, @civicaction YouTube: @pitchforkeconomics LinkedIn: Pitchfork Economics Substack: The Pitch
