Also, on our MoneyTalk Moment in Financial History we cover the controversial legacy of âThe Match Kingâ, Ivar Kreuger, who was responsible for many of the financial products we still use today, as well as one of the biggest Ponzie schemes of the 20th century.

We look at The CEO: The Rise and Fall of Britain's Captains of Industry, coming out in June 2025. See mor about the book here. The CEO: The Rise and Fall of Britain's Captains of Industry reviewed In many ways this book is a bit of a horror show in terms of management for British industries. The authors do a good job of taking us through a variety of types of leader. This is informative and well written, however the constant theme seems to be, regardless of their origin or training, they generally still ended up making either a real mess of it all, or at least not performing optimally. Sadly, as the authors also clearly point out, the only constant is the increasingly dizzy rise of the renumeration packages for this motley crew of incompetents. The approach seems to get ever shorter and shorter in terms of time frames and KPIs to aim for. To compensate for their likely impending dismissal, the renumeration packages are ever more ludicrous and higher and higher multiples of the average working person's salary. This book is well written and researched, but it also became ever more depressing as you were reminded of the growing rogues gallery of poorly performing, but increasingly well paid CEOs that have had to be endured in many British companies. It is a challenging time when competence, ability or ethical integrity seem to be less and less in demand for leading companies or even countries. Here's hoping that this book helps to at least raise the level of debate even while we have to endure as series of self serving leaders. More about the authors Michael Aldous is a business historian and Senior Lecturer at Queen's Business School, Queen's University Belfast. He is a founder and co-director of the Long Run Institute (LRI), which uses historical analysis to help senior executives and policy makers make better decisions. John D. Turner is Professor of Finance and Financial History, Queen's Business School, Queen's University Belfast, and a Fellow of the Academy of Social Sciences. His previous Cambridge University Press book Boom and Bust: A Global History of Financial Bubbles (2021) was named an Economics Book of the Year by the Financial Times. More about The CEO After analysing 1500 CEOs, what does a good one look like? High cognitive ability; strong organisational and interpersonal skills; clear values and personal purpose; has judgement from career and life experience (so aged 50 or over) History reveals why CEOs are fat cats this study of Britain's corporate history reveals that corporate fat cats emerged because of the emasculation of private sector trade unions and changing social norms about pay inequality. We need CEOs need to move slow and build things (not move fast and break things) By the 1970s, CEOs began getting sacked in ever greater numbers. By this century, over 40% of CEOs were dismissed either for poor performance or because their companies were taken over; tenures fell too from an average of 10 years to under six. The trend of CEOs spending much less time in the role can be traced back to deregulation and privatization policies (of Thatcher era) but also to the financialization of companies and the wider economy. So, how can CEOs make meaningful change? Who makes it to the top? Differing pathways influenced how CEOs historically operated and are perceived. They have been (in historical order): Aristocratic amateurs; Families and founders; Managers; Technocrats It was not until 1997 that Marjorie Scardino became the first woman and also the first mother to become CEO of a FTSE 100 company. Across the century, women have worked to overturn deeply embedded social and cultural stereotypes. Back at the beginning of the twentieth century, even though women made up nearly half of the shareholders in some companies, shareholder voting registers simply de-platformed them from the list of those shareholders who held the qualifying number of shares to almost automatically stand as a director. Being a director was,...

Let's take a moment to explore the powerful and often overlooked history of women and money in America. This journey has been marked by bold shifts, surprising setbacks, and undeniable progress. The path has been anything but linear from the 1862 Homestead Act to women now leading Fortune 500 companies.   This isn't just a look back; it's a reminder that your wealth-building journey is part of something bigger. When we understand the laws that shaped us, like the Equal Credit Opportunity Act of 1974, and celebrate pioneers like Madam C.J. Walker, we begin to see that financial independence isn't just about money. It's about power, legacy, and rewriting the future.   Why does this matter now? I believe every woman deserves the financial power to walk away from any job or relationship that isn't serving her. This episode is a reminder that we're not just chasing wealth, we're building freedom.   Let's keep learning, investing, valuing ourselves, and enjoying the journey together.   01:15 – Before 1974: Needing a man's permission to open a bank account 04:30 – The Homestead Act and the start of women's property rights 06:15 – Madam CJ Walker's legacy of empowerment 07:45 – The 19th Amendment and why voting is part of wealth-building 10:00 – The Equal Pay Act: Progress and reality 12:45 – Janet Yellen and the rise of women in economic leadership 14:00 – From one female CEO in 1972 to over 50 today

Can economics really be called a science if its predictions so often fail? Tune in for an inspiring discussion with Daniel Munson on his new book Fiscal Follies: A Little Fun with Economics (and Economists). Moments with Marianne airs in the Southern California area on KMET1490AM & 98.1 FM, an ABC Talk News Radio affiliate! Daniel C. Munson is a graduate of the University of Minnesota (with a B.S. in Chemical Engineering) and the William Mitchell College of Law, with a professional background in chemical engineering, law, and financial management. For over two decades, he has written for national financial publications including Barron's and Financial History, bringing a sharp, multidisciplinary perspective to complex economic issues. In his latest book, Fiscal Follies, Munson examines the intersection of economics, finance, and technology—arguing that unlike the hard sciences, economics is riddled with flawed assumptions and imprecise thinking. The book was hailed by Marketwise senior editor Garrett Baldwin as the “Financial Book of the Year,” praised for its clear, jargon-free insights and bold critique of mainstream economic thought.  https://a.co/d/7BYwUg5 For more show information visit:www.MariannePestana.com
