Podcasts about economists

This is a different kind of episode than is typical; there's no book, no central text, not even a single, central event that guides the conversation. Instead, we begin with a few recent news items—speculation about Trump 2028, Speaker Mike Johnson's refusal to swear in a Democratic congresswoman, the stunning abdication of Congress as the shutdown continues, and, incredibly, a secretive billionaire and Mellon heir donates over a hundred million dollars to pay the military, among others—and then lay out our profound worries about Trump ruling by decree, and the coming of MAGA-style Caeserism. How and when might that occur? We discuss troubling signals the Trump administration is sending about upcoming elections, and especially the 2026 midterms; the ticking time bomb that is the Insurrection Act; how the right thinks about executive power (then and now), and more.Sources:Peter Rothpletz, "Trump's Third Term?"

Nobel laureate Sir Roger Penrose dismantles standard cosmology, arguing the Big Bang wasn't the beginning and quantum mechanics is fundamentally wrong. He then connects a real, gravitational wave function collapse to the non-computational nature of consciousness and why today's AI can't truly understand.

Watch the full episode on our YouTube channel: youtube.com/@mreapodcastWe're sitting down with researcher and industry truth-teller, Mike DelPrete, to cut through the noise on tech, AI, and what clients really want from us. Mike's work has appeared in The New York Times, The Wall Street Journal, the Financial Times, and The Economist. He teaches, studies the business, and backs every take with data.We dig into the psychology behind home sales and why our industry is harder to “disrupt” than startups think. Mike shares fresh findings from secret-shopper research: Half of online and in-person leads never get a follow-up. We connect that to the three client traits that win listings and loyalty: 1. Be patient, 2. Be knowledgeable, and 3. Be transparent.We also explore AI in two simple buckets. Bucket one includes an operating-expense buster that helps us work faster and cleaner. Bucket two shows a shift in how people search. Then we get tactical by explaining how reviews are trust signals, why a tight niche can help you, and when a cadence of communication that matches each client's expectations builds value.If you're ready to trade opinions for proof, this episode gives you a clear playbook to act on today.Resources:Mike DelPrete's research hub: MikeDP.comListen: Context podcast by Mike DelPreteRead $100M Offers by Alex HormoziOrder the Millionaire Real Estate Agent Playbook | Volume 3Connect with Jason:LinkedinProduced by NOVAThis podcast is for general informational purposes only.

Steve Bannon a accordé une longue interview à The Economist.L'ancien stratège de Donald Trump, cerveau du mouvement MAGA et figure centrale du populisme mondial, y annonce sans détour que Trump aura un troisième mandat en 2028.Il parle d'un “plan” pour contourner la Constitution, d'une stratégie de “prise de contrôle et de purge des institutions”, et d'un réseau international de forces nationalistes prêtes à remodeler le monde politique occidental.Pourquoi The Economist, symbole du libéralisme global, lui donne-t-il la parole ? Parce que Bannon n'est plus une figure marginale. Il est l'un des idéologues les plus influents de notre époque, et ce qu'il décrit dans cet entretien ressemble à un manifeste : celui d'un nouveau pouvoir, illibéral, technopolitique, messianique.Cet épisode revient sur les propos les plus marquants de l'interview, sur ce qu'ils révèlent du moment politique américain, et sur la guerre culturelle et institutionnelle qui s'annonce entre populisme et démocratie libérale.Au-delà du cas Trump, c'est une réflexion sur la fragilité de nos démocraties, et sur ce que Bannon incarne : le projet assumé de refonder le monde à partir de la colère.---Retrouvez tous les épisodes et les résumés sur www.sismique.frSismique est un podcast indépendant créé et animé par Julien Devaureix.

The Fed just lowered rates and the ripple effects are already hitting the housing market.  In this episode of the Portland Real Estate Podcast, Steve Nassar and Joe Fistolo unpack what the latest rate cut really means for buyers, sellers, and everyone trying to read the tea leaves in a shifting economy. You'll hear why the 0.25% drop in the federal funds rate may not directly move mortgage rates, but could still ignite momentum through 2026 as affordability slowly improves and inventory levels find long-awaited balance.  We break down how absorption rates in the Portland metro area hit their highest level since 2014, what a "slow-motion rebound" might look like, and why many economists now see rates dipping into the high-5s next year. We also trace how lessons from 2008 and quantitative easing could once again reshape real estate from behind the scenes.  With Powell's exit and a potential Trump appointee on deck, the Fed's next play might be less about cutting rates and more about taking its foot off the brake entirely. From the "golden handcuffs" keeping homeowners stuck to the subtle pain points pushing families to finally make a move, Steve and Joe explore how real-world behavior shifts when the market begins to thaw.  Expect real talk about why more past clients are starting to buy and sell again, how remodels are replacing relocations, and why a balanced four-month absorption rate may be exactly what the industry needs. We also discuss scams and cybersecurity threats now plaguing real estate from fake roofers and phishing attempts to overseas buyer frauds that can upend transactions overnight. We close with a candid look at what's next for professionals navigating the tightening field of brokers and lenders. With fewer players, higher standards, and a market finally stabilizing, the next two years could reward those who've stayed sharp, ethical, and ready for what's coming. If you want a clear, insider's perspective on the Fed, the market, and the future of real estate in the Northwest, this is one episode you don't want to miss.   Key Takeaways The Fed's quarter-point rate cut sparked optimism but also confusion about what it really means for mortgage rates. Mortgage rates have reached their lowest average in over a year, hovering near 6.1%, with predictions to dip into the high 5s by 2026. Portland's absorption rate hit 3.8%, the highest since 2014, signaling a more balanced market between buyers and sellers. Homeowners with ultra-low "golden handcuff" rates are slowly re-entering the market as the rate gap narrows. Remodeling and home additions are rising as families adapt instead of moving in a high-rate environment. Economists expect a steady, gradual market recovery through 2026, with slow appreciation around 1.5% annually. Discussions of quantitative easing suggest the Fed may begin stimulating housing again without aggressive rate cuts. The upcoming Fed leadership change could accelerate policy shifts that further lower borrowing costs. Real estate scams from fake roofing contractors to overseas buyer fraud are escalating, hitting both consumers and agents. WFG Title reports over 80,000 hacking attempts a month, underscoring the growing need for cybersecurity in transactions. The "rent trap" continues to hold younger buyers back as lifestyle spending delays homeownership. Veteran agents and lenders who remain active through the downturn are positioned to thrive as professionalism rises. The hosts predict 2025–2026 will reward experienced, ethical professionals ready to seize the next wave of opportunity.   Connect with Justin Fidelity National Financial Justin on LinkedIn   Connect with Joe Soldera Properties Joe on LinkedIn   Connect with Steve Steve's Team at Premiere Property Group Steve on LinkedIn   Listen to The Portland Real Estate Podcast on: Apple Podcasts | Spotify

Consumer confidence could be turning around as borrowing rises. Latest data from credit bureau service Centrix shows residential mortgage and household lending have both increased more than 20% year-on-year.

Jason Kander and Ravi Gupta break down Donald Trump's collapsing approval numbers, as new polling from The Economist shows his net rating falling to -18, the lowest it has ever been—even lower than any point in his first term. They discuss what's driving the drop, from voter fatigue to economic fallout, and what it means for Trump's reelection odds. Kander and Gupta also dive into a new Reuters report revealing the Trump family raked in over $800 million from crypto ventures in just the first half of 2025, even as Trump pardoned Binance CEO CZ Zhao in a move critics call blatant corruption, analyzing how the pardon fits into Trump's broader pattern of rewarding allies and dismantling financial oversight. Then, they turn to Washington's ongoing chaos as the government shutdown drags on, with Marjorie Taylor Greene turning on Speaker Mike Johnson and demanding Republicans unveil a real health care plan, and examine Democrats' surprising restraint in Illinois and Maryland redistricting fights, and how internal debates over power and principle are shaping both parties' futures. Plus, they break down the Senate's rare bipartisan rebuke of Trump's Brazil tariffs, a sign that even some Republicans are losing patience with his economic nationalism.

Standard economic theory informs how we think about business strategy and the economy and presumes that people are selfish, have well-defined preferences, and consistently make welfare-maximizing choices. In other words, we are rational. But what if that is not the case?Nobel Prize-winning economist Richard Thaler is out with an updated edition of his bestselling 1991 book, "The Winner's Curse: Paradoxes and Anomalies of Economic Life." In the new edition, he and his co-author Alex Imas (both professors at the University of Chicago Booth School of Business) reflect on the last thirty years of behavioral economics and how it makes sense of tensions between our psychological biases and impulses that make us less than fully rational in practice. Using a wealth of empirical evidence, the authors explore the behavioral anomalies that contradict the expectations of standard economic theory and explain a wide range of real-world examples from banking crises to social media addiction.Earlier this month, Thaler joined Bethany and Luigi for a sold-out Capitalisn't recording in front of a live audience in Chicago to walk through the anomalies of human behavior that have endured from biblical times to the age of Big Tech. Thaler reflects on how views and the adoption of behavioral economics have changed over the last thirty years, both within academia and beyond (wonder why you can't put down your phone? Silicon Valley has read Thaler). He also shares how behavioral economics can influence public policy from canceling “junk fees” and dubious subscriptions to deciding which parts of the Affordable Care Act to keep and which are unlikely to produce their desired outcomes. Over conversation, light banter, and audience Q&A, Thaler shares his views on the state of capitalism and reveals how there is no grand unified theory of human behavior that incorporates all its irrationalities—only departures from the standard model.

Send us a textDo Deficits Make You Rich?The uncomfortable truth: fiscal stimulus creates wealth, not consumer inflation.Sat pondering in a Caribbean bar, thinking about intelligence, the Fed, deficits, and why inflation lives in Wall Street not in your supermarket basket. When the government runs a deficit, it injects reserves into the system, an automatic overdraft with the banking system. Later it issues Treasuries that drain those reserves. Economists call it a swap. Net financial wealth in the private sector rises because no one in the private sector owes that shortfall. The government owes it. Not another private entity.So does government spending make you rich? Deficits don't spill into the supermarket, they seep into the trading book. Treasuries move through repo markets, pledged and rehypothecated, transformed into money-like instruments that lubricate leverage. CPI stays calm while portfolios swell. Fiscal deficits expand collateral, leverage builds, and asset prices rise. The inflation we should fear isn't at the checkout counter. It's in the mirror of prudence we call Wall Street.Support the show⬇️ Subscribe on Patreon or Substack for full episodes ⬇️https://www.patreon.com/HughHendryhttps://hughhendry.substack.comhttps://www.instagram.com/hughhendryofficialhttps://blancbleustbarts.comhttps://www.instagram.com/blancbleuofficial⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Leave a five star review and comment on Apple Podcasts!

The Libet experiment didn't kill free will, says professor of neuroscience Aaron Schurger; the brain's "readiness potential" is simply stochastic neural noise. We then tackle consciousness's role in initiating action, the hard problem, and what it'd take for neuroscience to truly disprove our choices.

Beer volumes are down, dollars are soft, and the usual playbook isn't working.We brought back Lester Jones, chief economist at the National Beer Wholesalers Association, to cut through the noise with data, plain talk, and a clear plan for getting back to growth. Lester breaks down what's structural—demographics, consumption occasions, and channel mix—and what's cyclical—slower hiring, fewer hours worked, and sticky inflation—and shows how those forces collide to shape beer demand in 2025.We unpack the Beer Purchasers' Index and why distributor sentiment remains cautious, then dig into category dynamics where cider and FMBs stabilize, below-premium holds steady, and draft shows surprising resilience as on-premise accounts multiply. Lester argues the rubber band of pricing elasticity finally snapped: years of CPI-tracking increases met a year with little price and falling volume. The fix isn't blind discounting; it's surgical price investment, smarter pack-price architecture, and a return to safety and velocity on shelves. We also reframe on-premise: consumers want to socialize away from home, but aggressive pricing suppresses rounds. The antidote is occasion-first programming—happy hour value, low- and no-alcohol that extends the visit, and draft that delivers ritual, freshness, and better margins.Demographics get a rethink too.

Episode Summary: Something surprising is happening in churches across the West: young men are coming back! Not for hype or entertainment, but for meaning, mission, belonging, and direction. Are our churches ready to meet this incredible moment?In this episode, we're joined by author and professor Dr. Nancy Pearcey to unpack the deeper ideas shaping this cultural “vibe shift.” Together, we explore why the church's sacred-secular split has failed men's discipleship, how the manosphere fills the vacuum, and what it takes to move from momentary revival to lasting reformation!We also trace how family formation sits at the heart of cultural renewal. From marriage and parenting to workplace rhythms that keep fathers present, we discuss practical ways to re-enthrone the family and recover a whole-life gospel that forms men and women as equal image bearers with distinct gifts.If you've sensed the shift but wondered what to do next, this conversation maps a path toward renewal: dethrone the marketplace, re-enthrone marriage and the family, and rebuild culture from the home outward.Who is Disciple Nations Alliance (DNA)? Since 1997, DNA's mission has been to equip followers of Jesus around the globe with a biblical worldview, empowering them to build flourishing families, communities, and nations.

Day 1,343.Today, as the fierce battle for Pokrovsk rages on – with Russian troops now inside the city and 15 armoured vehicles destroyed on its outskirts – we report on the dramatic destruction of a dam in Russia that has cut off Moscow's forces inside Ukraine. Later, we speak to one of the leading architects behind the Western initiative to seize $300 billion in frozen Russian state assets, exploring how close this unprecedented move is to becoming reality – and what it could mean for the future of the war.Contributors:Adélie Pojzman-Pontay (Journalist and Producer). @adeliepjz on X.Francis Dearnley (Executive Editor for Audio). @FrancisDearnley on X.With thanks to campaigner, journalist and entrepreneur Hugo Dixon.WATCH OUR SPECIAL LIVE EPISODELink here: https://youtu.be/Mw_lWhp-flUQuestions from the audience are answered in the podcast version, below:Apple: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/special-putin-could-strike-london-in-90-minutes-russias/id1612424182?i=1000733450202 Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/episode/7DKehIQCz24eKK73xjP2e8 Content Referenced:Ukraine floods Russian troops in dam strike (The Telegraph):https://www.telegraph.co.uk/world-news/2025/10/27/russian-troops-cut-off-flooding-ukraine-hits-belgorod-dam/ Inside Ukraine's fortress belt, where Nato doctrine no longer applies (The Telegraph):https://www.telegraph.co.uk/world-news/2025/10/27/trump-freeze-frontlines-trouble-ukraine/ Western drones are underwhelming on the Ukrainian battlefield (The Economist):https://www.economist.com/europe/2025/10/23/western-drones-are-underwhelming-on-the-ukrainian-battlefield Russian army committing murder in Ukraine: Independent rights commission (UN report):https://www.ohchr.org/en/hr-bodies/hrc/iicihr-ukraine/reports/report-independent-international-commission-inquiry-ukraine-un-general-assembly-a80497Kyiv wants to cash in on OnlyFans creators' unpaid taxes.

Brigitte Macron, wife of French President Emmanuel Macron, has accused ten people of posting malicious comments about her, claiming she was a born a man, something Macron says is completely untrue. Her case is in court in France today and, if found guilty, the eight men and two women standing trial could face up to two years in prison. Sophie Pedder, Paris Bureau Chief at The Economist and Sarah Ditum, columnist at The Times, explain the significance of the trial.A study in Sweden has found that some adults who have had a diagnosis of autism or ADHD as children would like to be considered for a de-diagnosis due to stigma and sometimes restrictions associated with the condition.

Andrew Walworth, Tom Bevan and Carl Cannon discuss “Deciding To Win,” a new voter survey from a Democratic leaning think tank that says 70 percent of voters believe the Democratic Party is out of touch and urges the party to return to more centrist positions. They also talk about Steve Bannon's recent interview with The Economist, where he described President Donald Trump as a “vehicle of divine providence” and said there was a plan afoot for him to serve another term starting in 2028. Next, they discuss the House Oversight Committee's report on former President Joe Biden's mental acuity and its conclusion that some of Biden's presidential pardons should be voided because there was “no approval traceable to the president's own consent". And finally, RCP national correspondent Susan Crabtree joins Andrew and Carl to discuss new polling that shows California's Prop 50 is likely to pass next Tuesday, ushering in congressional redistricting designed to help Democrats win more House seats in the 2026 midterms.

An economist says Labour's proposed capital gains tax won't stop house prices rising. The party wants gains on commercial and residential property to be taxed 28 percent, with revenue going into the health sector including free doctor visits. It excludes the family home and inheritances. Opes Partners Resident Economist Ed McKnight told Mike Hosking that the tax is often thought as a house price killer, but that's not the case. He says in Australia since they introduced the tax, house prices went up 6.5 percent on average and in the UK they went up by 8 percent a year.

North Korea has been extremely repressive for a very long time. But over the last several years, the crackdowns have gotten worse. New reporting from The Economist shows how the regime is clamping down on South Korean cultural influences, strengthening its border to prevent escape, and sharply curtailing what were already limited free markets. My guest today, Patrick Foulis, calls this the “North Koreafication of North Korea,” and it comes after a period of relative easing. Patrick Foulis is the foreign editor of The Economist. We kick off by discussing the various ways in which these crackdowns are happening before having a longer conversation about why Kim Jong Un's North Korea is tightening repression — much of which has to do with its changing relationships with Russia, China, and even the United States.

Over 500 media and publishing professionals gathered in the beautiful Círculo de Bellas Artes in Madrid to hear leading speakers discuss their strategies for thriving in today's landscape. ChatGPT, AI overviews and traffic challenges are certainly top of mind for many delegates, but the on-stage conversations haven't been quite as dominated by AI as we'd expected. Rather, there seems to be a doubling down on good, ‘old fashioned' publishing principles like investing in high-quality content and products in order to secure growth. There were some really strong themes that came out across the two days - too many to include them all here - so we've focused on the top four. Hear speakers from TIME, The Economist, Hearst, Semafor, The Atlantic and more discussing transformation, new opportunities, brands vs personalities, and how they're using AI.

Vous aimez notre peau de caste ? Soutenez-nous ! https://www.lenouvelespritpublic.fr/abonnementUne émission de Philippe Meyer, enregistrée au studio l'Arrière-boutique le 24 octobre 2025.Avec cette semaine :- Nicolas Baverez, essayiste et avocat.- David Djaïz, entrepreneur et essayiste.- Marc-Olivier Padis, directeur des études de la fondation Terra Nova.- Michaela Wiegel, correspondante à Paris de la Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung.LE VOL DU LOUVRE ET LA PROTECTION DU PATRIMOINEAu musée du Louvre, dimanche dernier, une série de bijoux datant du XIXe siècle ont été dérobés en quelques minutes par plusieurs malfaiteurs dans la galerie d'Apollon. Huit pièces manquent à l'appel. Le butin a été estimé à 88 millions d'euros par la conservatrice du musée, a annoncé mardi la procureure de Paris. La couronne de l'impératrice Eugénie, d'abord volée, a été retrouvée près du site, vraisemblablement égarée par les voleurs dans leur fuite. Très fréquenté, le musée a accueilli 8,7 millions de visiteurs en 2024. Il s'étend sur 73.000 mètres carrés et contient environ 35.000 œuvres issues de collections du monde entier. Le dernier vol recensé au Louvre a eu lieu en 1998 : une toile de Camille Corot, volée en pleine journée et jamais retrouvée.Lors de son audition mercredi au Sénat, la présidente du musée Laurence des Cars a indiqué qu'aucune caméra ne couvrait le balcon de la galerie d'Apollon, où sont passés les braqueurs, mais a réfuté tout « retard » dans la mise en œuvre du plan de sécurisation, contestant les observations de la Cour des comptes. Elle a confirmé avoir présenté sa démission, « refusée » par la ministre de la culture, et a notamment souhaité solliciter le ministère de l'intérieur pour étudier la possibilité d'installer un commissariat de police au sein du musée.Alors que le Louvre a rouvert ses portes mercredi matin, The Economist rappelle, étude scientifique à l'appui, que le vol d'œuvres dans les grands musées est presque une routine : on en recense 40 dans le monde depuis 1990 (majoritairement en Europe)… plus d'un par an. Dans quasiment un cas sur cinq, la valeur des objets dérobés dépasse les 100 millions d'euros avec un record à 450 millions d'euros pour le Van Gogh Museum d'Amsterdam en 1991. Moins d'une fois sur deux les œuvres volées ont finalement été récupérées.La portée symbolique de ce cambriolage n'est pas sans rappeler, pour Le Figaro, celui de l'incendie de Notre-Dame de Paris, en 2019, ou du vol de La Joconde en 1911. L'incendie de Notre-Dame avait mis en lumière la vulnérabilité d'autres édifices religieux. Un plan « sécurité » avait été lancé en 2020 pour les 87 cathédrales dépendant de l'État qui ont renforcé depuis leurs dispositifs de sécurité par des formations aux secours, des caméras thermiques, des porte coupe-feu… Selon la Direction nationale du renseignement territorial, 401 faits antichrétiens ont été recensés entre janvier et juin 2025, soit + 13 % par rapport à la même période en 2024. Une hausse significative qui intervient après deux ans de baisse. Mais pour l'Observatoire du patrimoine religieux, association indépendante qui effectue une veille en temps réel, ces chiffres sont « sous-estimés, parce qu'il n'y a pas toujours des plaintes ». Selon son vice-président, il y aurait aujourd'hui « trois à cinq fois plus de vandalisme touchant les édifices catholiques qu'il y a dix ans ».LE MOUVEMENT NO KINGSDe Washington à San Francisco, en passant par New York, Tampa ou Los Angeles, samedi 18 octobre dans 2.700 villes, près de sept millions d'Américains ont manifesté pacifiquement, contre Donald Trump et son usage autoritaire du pouvoir. Un mouvement lancé par un collectif de 300 associations regroupées derrière le slogan « No Kings » « pas de rois ». Ce collectif d'associations de défense des libertés civiles, dont certaines sont proches du Parti démocrate annonce la couleur sur la page d'accueil du site Internet qui coordonne les manifestations : « Pas de trônes, pas de couronnes, pas de rois : le pouvoir appartient au peuple. » Le mouvement qui dit vouloir s'opposer aux « abus de pouvoir », déplore « l'envoi d'agents militarisés » dans des villes démocrates et les « cadeaux aux milliardaires ». Il entend « défendre la démocratie » face à « la dictature ». Dans les cortèges, les manifestants qui revendiquent la défense des valeurs américaines, ont concentré leurs critiques sur les attaques contre la liberté de la presse, le droit de vote des minorités ou la séparation des pouvoirs. Le déploiement de la garde nationale dans plusieurs villes américaines, ainsi que les rafles opérées par la nouvelle police anti-immigration nourrissent l'indignation. Cette deuxième contestation d'ampleur, a été trois fois plus suivie qu'un événement similaire à la mi-juin.Né de la société civile, ce mouvement a reçu le soutien public de plusieurs personnalités politiques. Il a notamment été relayé par l'ancienne candidate démocrate Kamala Harris. Dans les cortèges, on a pu voir le leader de l'aile gauche démocrate Bernie Sanders, ou le sénateur de New York Chuck Schumer. Le mouvement a été également soutenu par des artistes comme Robert De Niro. Cette nouvelle journée de mobilisation survient par ailleurs en pleine paralysie budgétaire de l'État fédéral et alors que Donald Trump a déployé des militaires dans plusieurs fiefs démocrates pour, selon lui, lutter contre l'immigration illégale et la criminalité. La droite a fustigé un mouvement de « haine de l'Amérique », tandis que plusieurs membres de l'administration Trump ont accusé les manifestants d'être des « extrémistes ». Le président de la Chambre des représentants, Mike Johnson, a ainsi jugé que le mouvement était animé par « des partisans du Hamas et des antifas ». Un qualificatif qui pourrait ouvrir la voie à des poursuites, le président Donald Trump ayant récemment signé un décret qui classe le mouvement « antifa » comme étant une « organisation terroriste ». À ses yeux, ce mouvement serait une « entreprise militarisée et anarchiste qui appelle explicitement au renversement du gouvernement des États-Unis ». En réponse à ces manifestations, Donald Trump a publié sur les réseaux sociaux, depuis sa résidence de Mar-a-Lago en Floride, une vidéo réalisée grâce à l'intelligence artificielle. On y voit le président américain aux commandes d'un avion, la tête coiffée d'une couronne, en train de bombarder les cortèges de manifestants avec des excréments.Chaque semaine, Philippe Meyer anime une conversation d'analyse politique, argumentée et courtoise, sur des thèmes nationaux et internationaux liés à l'actualité.

From economics to dreams: Anne McElvoy and guests consider the value of irrationality. How often is emotion, instinct and unsound thinking behind the decisions taken by governments, financial markets and citizens? And does it matter if long term strategic thinking relying on calm assessments of the trade offs, conventional wisdom and the lessons of experience take a back seat. Is there a value in irrationality? Guests include: Bronwen Maddox, Director and CEO of Chatham House, the international think tank; Lionel Barber, author of Gambling Man: The Wild Ride of Japan's Masayoshi Son; Salma Shah, who sits on the boards of Policy Exchange and the Centre for Science and Policy at the University of Cambridge; Patrick Foulis, the foreign editor at the Economist and, Jonathan Egid, philosopher and BBC/AHRC New Generation Thinker.Producer: Ruth Watts

Andrew DeCort joins me to explore what it means to love our neighbor — not as a vague ideal, but as a radical way of living that can heal our divisions and reshape our world. Drawing from his own story in Ethiopia and his new book Reviving the Golden Rule, Andrew shares how the practice of neighbor love dismantles fear, ends cycles of othering, and calls us into a deeper belonging rooted in the very heart of God. We talk about how love becomes courage in the face of violence, how Jesus' teaching to love even our enemies abolishes exclusion, and how the Neighbor-Love Movement is helping people embody this ancient command in practical, everyday ways. This is a powerful conversation about faith, reconciliation, and what it means to live as people who see every human being as a reflection of God's image.Andrew DeCort founded the Institute for Faith and Flourishing and cofounded the Neighbor-Love Movement in Ethiopia, which have reached over twenty million people with the invitation to nonviolent spirituality. He holds a PhD in religious ethics from the University of Chicago and has taught ethics, public theology, peace and conflict studies, and Ethiopian studies at Wheaton College, the Ethiopian Graduate School of Theology, and the University of Bonn. He is the author of Reviving the Golden Rule, Blessed Are the Others, Flourishing on the Edge of Faith, and Bonhoeffer's New Beginning. His words have appeared in Foreign Policy, the Los Angeles Review of Books, The Economist, Christianity Today, and numerous other platforms.Andrew's Book:Reviving the Golden RuleAndrew's Recommendation:Grief is LoveConnect with Joshua: jjohnson@shiftingculturepodcast.comGo to www.shiftingculturepodcast.com to interact and donate.

Economist Vivian Ho has been researching the US health care system for four decades. These days she focuses on what she describes as the biggest burden on the average American: runaway hospital prices and rising health insurance premiums. (You know, Arm and a Leg stuff.) And she’s developed a strategy for addressing high insurance premiums – one based on a real-life success story. So when she asked us to help her gather data for a new study, we were intrigued. We break down Vivian’s theory of change, and how sharing your medical bills with her team could help build a data arsenal for the fight ahead. Want to share your documents with Vivian and her team? You can find all details about how to send them here. Here’s a transcript of this episode. Send your stories and questions! Or call 724 ARM-N-LEG.

The lecture focuses on metaphysics. I explain extremely simply the arguments for you being a “simulation,” the arguments against it, and where I personally land. Then I do the same for “materialism.” Join My New Substack (Personal Writings): https://curtjaimungal.substack.com Listen on Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/4gL14b92xAErofYQA7bU4e Timestamps: - 00:00 - Simulation vs. Materialism - 05:04 - Mistakes Intellectuals Make - 10:12 - The Simulation Mythology - 16:46 - Bayesian Errors & Glitches - 23:22 - Principle of Indifference Flaws - 29:07 - The Case Against Materialism / Physicalism - 35:28 - Nested Consciousness Problem - 42:36 - Q&A: Modern Dualism? - 50:51 - Debating Indifference Principle Links mentioned: - Niagara University's 2025 Fall Speaker Series: https://www.niagara.edu/academics/initiatives-and-institutes/fall-speaker-series/ - Michael Barnwell [Site]: https://www.philosophy4business.com/ - David Deutsch [TOE]: https://youtu.be/vKeWv-cdWkM - Roger Penrose [TOE]: https://youtu.be/sGm505TFMbU - David Chalmers [TOE]: https://youtu.be/RH5qjdHhtBk - The Most Abused Theorem in Math [TOE]: https://youtu.be/OH-ybecvuEo - The Mandela Effect: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/False_memory#Mandela_effect - Efron's Dice: https://mathworld.wolfram.com/EfronsDice.html - String Theory Iceberg [TOE]: https://youtu.be/X4PdPnQuwjY - Emily Adlam & Jacob Barandes [TOE]: https://youtu.be/rw1ewLJUgOg - Tim Maudlin [TOE]: https://youtu.be/fU1bs5o3nss SUPPORT: - Become a YouTube Member (Early Access Videos): https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCdWIQh9DGG6uhJk8eyIFl1w/join - Support me on Patreon: https://patreon.com/curtjaimungal - Support me on Crypto: https://commerce.coinbase.com/checkout/de803625-87d3-4300-ab6d-85d4258834a9 - Support me on PayPal: https://www.paypal.com/donate?hosted_button_id=XUBHNMFXUX5S4 SOCIALS: - Twitter: https://twitter.com/TOEwithCurt - Discord Invite: https://discord.com/invite/kBcnfNVwqs Guests do not pay to appear.

Day 1,335.Today, as the world digests the outcome of the White House meeting between Presidents Donald Trump and Volodymyr Zelensky, we examine why the lack of progress on Tomahawk missiles caught many observers off guard. We also explore the significance – if any – of Trump's planned talks with Vladimir Putin in Budapest, widely seen as part of the Kremlin's strategy to stall for time. Plus, we report on another slow weekend at the front, continued Ukrainian strikes on Russian oil and gas facilities, and hear from a leading professor on what it would take to achieve a genuine breakthrough in peace negotiations.Contributors:Dominic Nicholls (Associate Editor of Defence). @DomNicholls on X.Francis Dearnley (Executive Editor for Audio). @FrancisDearnley on X.With thanks to Professor Robert Person (Non-Resident Senior Fellow in the Foreign Policy Research Institute's Eurasia Program). @RTPerson3 on X.MORE TICKETS JUST RELEASED FOR 'UKRAINE: THE LATEST' LIVE, IN-PERSON:Join us for an in-person discussion and Q&A at the distinguished Honourable Artillery Company in London on 22nd October starting at 7pm.Our panel includes General Sir Richard Barrons, former head of UK Joint Forces Command and latterly one of the authors of Britain's Strategic Defence Review, and Orysia Lutsevych, head of the Ukraine Forum at the Chatham House think tank.
