Earlier this month, as the new school-year kicked off around the world, Greece announced it was closing more than 750 schools as a sharp decline in births over the years has left them without enough students. The story has made the rounds on social media, even getting picked up and shared by figures like Elon Musk. Eleni Varvitstioti, the Financial Times correspondent for Greece and Cyprus and author of this report, joins Thanos Davelis as we take a closer look at this story and the broader demographic challenge facing Greece.You can read the articles we discuss on our podcast here:Greece suspends 5% of schools as birth rate drops Greek companies tour Europe to lure back skilled nationals Tens of thousands protest against legal crackdown on Turkey's main opposition partyEcumenical Patriarch Bartholomew arrives in Washington

Ralph welcomes Timothy Whitehouse, executive director of Public Employees for Environmental Responsibility (PEER) to speak about how federal workers across all government agencies are being unfairly denigrated and summarily fired by the Trump Administration to clear the way for corporate corruption. Plus, we are joined by Toby Heaps, Editor-in-Chief of “Corporate Knights” magazine to talk about the benefits of the cooperative business model over the corporate shareholder model.Timothy Whitehouse is executive director of Public Employees for Environmental Responsibility (PEER). Prior to joining PEER, he was a senior attorney at the Environmental Protection Agency and was head of the Law and Policy Program at the North American Commission for Environmental Cooperation in Montreal.The time to stigmatize federal workers is over. It's time to start rallying for unions for federal workers and what they do, and to support the idea that government plays an important role and that government (the civil service) must be as non-political as possible. Our country will be much better for it.Timothy WhitehouseThat's a good way to describe it: supersonic. We knew things were going to be really bad, but they are much worse than bad because there's no check and no balance on this President's madness. And some of the people and institutions we had hoped would stand up a little bit are collapsing one by one.Timothy WhitehouseOur foreign enemies could not have devised a better way to grind our system to a halt, and that's what's happening.Timothy WhitehouseToby Heaps is the CEO and co-founder of Corporate Knights, and Editor-in-Chief of Corporate Knights magazine. He spearheaded the first global ranking of the world's 100 most sustainable corporations in 2005, and in 2007 coined the term “clean capitalism.” Toby has been published in the Financial Times, Wall Street Journal, and the Globe and Mail, and is a regular guest speaker on CBC.I think in the co-op movement, the biggest bugaboo holding it back (in North America, that is) is people's perception that it's not a significant force. And it is already a significant force. In many cases, we're not familiar that the company might be a co-op (such as Associated Press or Ocean Spray) but in the United States alone, the turnover of co-op enterprises sales in 2023 was $324 billion US. And so, it's a significant part of the economy already.Toby HeapsI can't underline enough that if you care about a sustainable economy that works for people and planet, that the operating model is not just the clean economy (the environmentally friendly economy), it's the cooperatively-run economy.Toby HeapsThe principal obstacle to co-ops is the inadequate engagement of consumers to know about the huge benefits— to control the local economy from multinational corporations (absentee), who are pulling strings in ways that are very damaging, and basically to assume the purchasing power of the consumer.Ralph NaderNews 9/12/2025* Several major stories surrounding the Jeffrey Epstein case have emerged in the past week. First, Democrats on the House Oversight Committee have released a note written by President Trump to Epstein included in the latter's “birthday book” from 2003. In this note, Trump refers to Epstein as his “pal” and writes “May every day be another wonderful secret," according to Reuters. Trump has denied that this letter even existed, going so far as to sue the Wall Street Journal for defamation over their reporting in July. Trump continues to deny that he wrote the letter, though his signature is a perfect match, and he has sought to tamp down the matter, calling it a “dead issue,” per NBC.* In Congress, Republican allies of Donald Trump are seeking to quash the Epstein issue as well. On Tuesday, Republicans on the House Rules Committee “shot down a bid to put the Epstein Files Transparency Act—which would compel the Justice Department to release all unclassified records related to Jeffrey Epstein—to a floor vote,” in an 8–4 party-line vote, the New Republic reports. However, despite this setback, dissident Republican Thomas Massie continues to press the issue. Speaking about the birthday note, Massie said “It's…indicative of the things that might come out if we were to release all of the files…embarrassing, but not indictable. And I don't think avoiding embarrassment is a reason to avoid justice,” per CNN. Massie added in an interview on ABC that "I think it's going to be embarrassing to some of the billionaires, some of the donors who are politically connected to [Trump's] campaign. There are probably intelligence ties to our CIA and maybe to other foreign intelligence." Democrat Ro Khanna insisted in this same interview that he and his allies, including Massie, will be able to pull together a House majority of 218 members to force a vote on releasing the files.* Our final Epstein story for the week concerns James O'Keefe. Former leader of Project Veritas, O'Keefe continues to carry out far-right hidden-camera sting operations. In a rare move targeting conservatives, O'Keefe engineered a date between Joseph Schnitt, a deputy chief of staff at the Office of Enforcement Operations at DOJ, and an operative in his employ wherein Schnitt admitted that the Trump administration will “redact every Republican or conservative person in those files, [and] leave all the liberal, Democratic people.” In this video, Schnitt also implies that Epstein's lieutenant, Ghislaine Maxwell was relocated to a lower security prison to “keep her mouth shut,” as part of a deal with the government. This according to the Hill. One should certainly take revelations from O'Keefe with a heavy dose of salt, but these troubling comments should also raise suspicions about the government's possible plans to manipulate information related to this case for political ends.* Aside from the Epstein affair, the Trump administration continues to issue destructive policy directives in all directions. AP reports the federal Department of Transportation has scrapped a Biden-era rule that required airlines to “compensate stranded passengers with cash, lodging and meals for flight cancellations or changes caused by a carrier.” This rule, which sought “compensation starting at $200…[and] as high as $775…for delays of nine hours or more,” was consistent with European aviation consumer protections. Unsurprisingly, airlines – represented by lobbyists in the employ of the industry trade group Airlines for America – bitterly resisted the rule and celebrated the administration's abandonment of this basic consumer protection. The Biden Transportation Department had also been weighing rules that would have required airlines to provide, “free rebooking on the next available flight, including flights on rival airlines, as well as meals and lodging when passengers are stranded overnight.”* At the same time, the Trump administration's Federal Trade Commission is abandoning its rules banning noncompete clauses for employees. An eye-popping 1 in 5 workers are bound by noncompetes, approximately 30 million Americans, and experts estimated that banning such clauses could boost wages to the tune of nearly $300 billion per year and help create 8,500 new businesses, per NPR. The FTC voted 3-1 to vacate its defense of the rule, with Chair Andrew Ferguson and Melissa Holyoak, both Republicans, issuing a joint statement. Rebecca Kelly Slaughter, the lone remaining Democrat on the commission after Trump purged the FTC earlier this year, voted no.* Turning to foreign affairs, the Guardian reports two ships in the Gaza aid flotilla have been struck by drone attacks while docked in Tunisia. The first struck the Family Boat, which carries activist Greta Thunberg, though she was not on board at the time. The second struck the Alma, a ship bearing British flags while docked in the port of Sidi Bou Said. In a video, one can see, “a luminous object hitting the boat and fire erupting on board.” Francesca Albanese, the UN special rapporteur for the occupied Palestinian territories, is quoted saying, ‘‘Authoritative sources suggest the attack involved an incendiary grenade, wrapped in plastic materials soaked in fuel, which may have ignited before even hitting the vessel.” These attacks come amidst a renewed Israeli bombing campaign against its neighbors, including bombing the Qatari capital of Doha and the Yemeni capital Sanaa. Trump says he is “very unhappy” about the strikes; Israel's ambassador to the United States however says the world will “get over it.” This from Al Jazeera.* Meanwhile, Drop Site is out with yet another bombshell report, this time on Israel's propaganda push to cover up the scale of the hunger crisis in Gaza. According to this report, the Netanyahu government signed a previously unreported $45 million deal with Google to push false propaganda through the massive platform. One video, viewed more than 6 million times, asserts “There is food in Gaza. Any other claim is a lie.” Israel also reportedly paid $3 million for an ad campaign on X, formerly Twitter, and another $2 million on a French platform called Outbrain. This report also cites other examples of Israeli propaganda campaigns in recent years, including against UNRWA and regarding the illegal strikes in Iran.* In more positive news, the pro-Palestine campaign in Hollywood continues to grow. This week, Variety reports a group of over 3,900 filmmakers, actors and other industry professionals signed a new pledge to boycott working with “Israeli film institutions and companies that are ‘implicated in genocide and apartheid against the Palestinian people.'” This group includes many household names, such as Mark Ruffalo, Joaquin Phoenix, Jonathan Glazer, Tilda Swinton, Javier Bardem, Emma Stone, Boots Riley, Ayo Edebiri, and many, many more. The list continues to grow as this pledge circulates. According to the Hollywood Reporter, this campaign is led by Film Workers for Palestine, which explicitly modeled their strategy after Filmmakers United Against Apartheid. That group, founded by eminent filmmakers like Martin Scorsese, demanded that the film industry refuse distribution in apartheid South Africa.* Beyond Israel/Palestine, events are rocking Nepal, the small Himalayan nation that lies between India and China. The BBC reports “Fierce protests against corruption and nepotism spiralled into arson and violence on Tuesday. The prime minister resigned as politicians' homes were vandalised, government buildings torched and parliament set ablaze. Twenty-nine people have died since Monday.” The "Gen Z" youth groups leading the protests have distanced themselves from these acts of destruction, claiming their movement was "hijacked" by "opportunists". Nepal's military has been deployed in the capital of Kathmandu in an attempt to restore order and enforce a curfew. The government of Nepal, led by now-ousted Prime Minister K.P. Sharma Oli, sought to cultivate a closer relationship with China to offset Nepal's historical dependence on India. For the time being, China seems to be taking a wait and see approach to the situation in Nepal, with foreign ministry spokesman Lin Jian calling for all parties to “properly handle domestic issues and restore social order and national stability as soon as possible,” per the South China Morning Post.* Finally, Democracy Now! reports that in an apparent fit of retaliation, the Trump administration is now threatening to redeport Kilmar Abrego Garcia, the American green card holder recently returned from his wrongful deportation to El Salvador's CECOT mega-prison. This time, instead of sending him to El Salvador, the government plans to send Garcia to the tiny African kingdom of Eswatini, formerly Swaziland. Garcia had previously expressed fear of being deported to Uganda. This move would surely be punitive, capricious and just plain bizarre, but that is hardly a deviation from the course of the Trump administration. We express solidarity with Garcia, who stands practically alone against the juggernaut of the United States' deportation apparatus.This has been Francesco DeSantis, with In Case You Haven't Heard.

Click here now to access the tool > ‍ How to Break Free from the Good Girl Cage Have you ever ticked all the boxes of success — career, family, achievements — yet felt a quiet voice inside whispering “this isn't really me”? ‍ That's the cage many ambitious women find themselves in: invisible, self-imposed, and often built from years of people-pleasing and perfectionism. ‍ In this episode of The Brilliant Business Book Festival, I'm excited to be joined by Katia Vlachos, reinvention coach and author of the book, Uncaged. ‍ Katia shares how she broke free from her own “good girl” conditioning and how you can begin dismantling your own bars … one choice at a time. ‍ This episode is a must-listen if you've ever felt stuck, small, or secretly craving a life that feels more like your own. ‍ ‍ Prefer to WATCH instead of read? https://www.youtube.com/@melittacampbell ‍ ‍ “Breaking free doesn't make life harder — it makes everything feel more natural, aligned, and effortless.” – Katia Vlachos ‍ The Cage We Don't See For Katia, the “good girl” cage began in childhood: saying ‘Yes' when really she wanted to say ‘No!', striving for approval, and sacrificing her own needs to meet others' expectations. ‍ And yet, as she explains, cages aren't external — they live in our minds. The longer we stay inside them, the more natural they feel. ‍ ‍ Why We Stay Stuck Katia identifies three main fears that keep women caged: ‍ Fear of the unknown: “Do I really have what it takes?” Fear of failure: “What if I lose everything I've built?” “What will people think?” ‍ Fear of disappointing others: “What will people think?” ‍ But she reminds us that reinvention doesn't mean burning everything down. It's often about building a bridge from where you are now to where you long to be. ‍ ‍ “You don't have to be a ‘good girl' or a ‘bad girl' — you get to be your girl, living by your own rules and values.” – Katia Vlachos ‍ ‍ The First Step Toward Freedom Awareness is always the beginning. Katia calls it “noticing the bars of your invisible cage.” And the signs are there once you stop and tune into how you feel. For example, your clues might be the discomfort of agreeing to something that doesn't feel right, or the guilt that surfaces when you prioritise yourself. From there, the key question becomes: What do I want instead? Even if it feels hard to answer, that's where freedom begins. ‍ ‍ The Power of Support Breaking free isn't something you have to do alone. Katia encourages finding even one person who truly sees you and supports your reinvention. As she shares, being witnessed — whether in a coaching relationship, a women's circle, or a trusted friendship — is a powerful catalyst for transformation. ‍ Life Beyond the Cage Freedom doesn't look like rebellion. It looks like an alignment. Katia describes life beyond the cage as more natural and flowing. Decisions feel lighter. Visibility becomes less daunting. And self-compassion acts as the net that makes risk-taking possible, because even if you stumble, you know you'll have your own back. ‍ A Final Thought to Reflect On You don't need a dramatic turning point to step into your next chapter. Often, it starts with the smallest moments of awareness, followed by one brave choice. So ask yourself: Where might you already be holding the keys to your own cage? ‍ Want to explore what this could look like for you? ‍Learn more about the ways you can work with Melitta Campbell to uncover your Value Sweet Spot to market, sell and grow your business confidently, and always on your terms.

Presa din afara Franței analizează situația de după căderea guvernului lui François Bayrou. Accentele critice nu lipsesc. Iar comentatorii se întreabă cine își mai poate asuma acum reducerea necesară a cheltuielilor publice. Financial Times consideră că prăbușirea guvernului Bayrou „declanșează o nouă criză care riscă să se extindă pe străzi și pe piețele financiare, cu demonstrații și o posibilă retrogradare a ratingului datoriei franceze”. Pentru cotidianul spaniol El Mundo, „situația din Franța este o preocupare pentru Europa”, deoarece „căderea lui Bayrou evidențiază slăbiciunea politică a lui Emmanuel Macron”, într-un moment „deosebit de complex” . Președintele francez „exercită un leadership important alături de cancelarul german Friedrich Merz (...). Revenirea axei franco-germane, după sosirea lui Merz, părea o gură de aer”. Cu toate acestea, „dacă Macron trebuie să se concentreze pe propria supraviețuire”, acest avânt „riscă să se estompeze considerabil”, scrie ziarul spaniol. „Cine poate salva Franța acum?” – întreabă The Wall Street Journal. „Acest fiasco nu este vina lui Bayrou - adevărata problemă este că „reducerile reale de cheltuieli sunt politic excluse” din cauza „partidelor cheltuitoare de stânga și de dreapta (...). Bayrou spera să-i convingă pe parlamentari să cadă de acord asupra unei încetiniri (oricât de modeste) creșterii cheltuielilor publice viitoare. Nu a reușit”. Dar, după cum remarcă ziarul american, alegătorii sunt cei care „refuză să recompenseze politicienii care spun adevărul despre dezastrul bugetar și problemele economice ale Franței”. Iar The Washington Post crede că, „dacă francezii nu sunt dispuși să renunțe nici măcar la două zile de vacanță, cu siguranță nu sunt pregătiți să intre pe picior de război”. Acestea sunt vești proaste pentru Ucraina și Statele Unite, „deoarece ilustrează cât de dificil va fi pentru Europa să devină autosuficientă din punct de vedere militar într-un viitor nu prea îndepărtat”. The Times l-a văzut pe Bayrou ca pe ”un aristocrat ciufulit târât într-o căruță spre Place de la Concorde, care cu greu s-ar fi putut îndoi de soarta care îl aștepta”. Acum, Emmanuel Macron „caută un alt politician dispus să-și piardă capul pentru cauza austerității”. Cât despre ziua de acțiune planificată pentru miercuri, 10 septembrie, ziarul britanic consideră că „sindicatele franceze, minunat de nereformate, se pregătesc să organizeze o grevă generală pentru a protesta împotriva austerității. Strigătul lor de mobilizare, minunat și nihilist: Să blocăm totul!” După cum comentează Der Spiegel, ”mandatul lui Macron se încheie în mai 2027. Cu toate acestea, în practică, președintele s-a autodistrus deja în iunie [2024], când a decis de unul singur să dizolve Adunarea Națională, provocând astfel instabilitatea care subminează în prezent Franța Carisma poate ajuta la inspirarea alegătorilor să apere democrația. Willy Brandt a dovedit acest lucru în Germania, la fel ca și Barack Obama în Statele Unite. Dar poate, de asemenea, să-i conducă pe politicieni la intoxicarea propriilor egouri. O lecție deosebit de dureroasă, una pe care Franța abia o învață”.

Het gaat nu wel heel snel. De vorige verkoopronde is nog maar nauwelijks afgerond, en het is alweer tijd om het belang verder af te bouwen. De Nederlandse staat heeft nu nog 30,5 procent van de aandelen ABN Amro in handen, maar wil dat de komende dagen gaan verlagen naar 20 procent. De overheid maakt daarmee wel gebruik van de stevig opgelopen beurskoers van de bank. Maar ondertussen zitten er nog altijd Europese banken om zich heen te kijken voor mogelijke overnamekandidaten. Valt ABN dan straks toch ten prooi aan een concurrent? Dat vertellen we je deze aflevering. Dan hebben we ook nog even de zomer in de bol. In Londen werd namelijk de eigen verwachting gepresenteerd van mogelijk de grootste beursgang op het Damrak dit jaar. Via de afsplitsing van de ijsjestak van Unilever verwelkomen we half november de Magnum Ice Cream Company. En beleggers worden alvast warm gemaakt met de belofte van dividend. Smelten ze daarbij weg van vreugde? Of wordt die beursgang een ijskoude douche voor Unilever? In Amerika is er trouwens een Nederlands bedrijf dat de show steelt. Dat krijgt de onvoorwaardelijke liefde van beleggers na een miljardendeal. En midden in de aflevering krijgen we te horen wie de gelukkigen zijn. Vijf bedrijven uit de Midkap krijgen een promotie naar de AEX met de uitbreiding daarvan. Dus we nemen alvast heel kort door wie van de vijf de beste toevoeging is.

Metaplanet ha vuelto a captar la atención dentro del ámbito financiero, destacándose como protagonista en nuestro Radar Empresarial. La compañía japonesa ha realizado una importante adquisición de 136 Bitcoins por un valor total de 15,2 millones de dólares, lo que equivale a un precio aproximado de 111.783 dólares por unidad. Aunque la operación se llevó a cabo el pasado domingo, cuando la criptomoneda cotizaba ligeramente por debajo de los 111.000 dólares, su valor ha repuntado y ahora se sitúa en torno a los 113.205. Sin embargo, a pesar de esta mejora en el precio, el mercado reaccionó con escepticismo y las acciones de la empresa cayeron casi un 4% en la Bolsa de Tokio, acentuando la pérdida del 20% registrada la semana anterior. En la jornada de hoy, el retroceso se amplía hasta el 10%. La estrategia de Metaplanet con respecto a las criptomonedas no es nueva. Desde abril de 2024, la empresa ha venido adquiriendo Bitcoin siguiendo el modelo de Microstrategy, que actualmente continúa siendo el mayor poseedor institucional de esta criptodivisa. Pese a la volatilidad bursátil, la apuesta de Metaplanet ha sido respaldada por sus resultados: según datos de Bloomberg, desde que comenzó a invertir en Bitcoin, su valor en bolsa ha registrado una de las mayores subidas del mercado. De hecho, en julio de este año, el Financial Times informaba que la empresa había experimentado una revalorización cercana al 3.500%. Cabe destacar que Meta planet, que originalmente era una cadena hotelera, ha cambiado por completo su enfoque empresarial para centrarse en la acumulación de activos digitales, especialmente Bitcoin. Además, la compañía mantiene vínculos con figuras influyentes en la política estadounidense. Eric Trump, hijo del expresidente Donald Trump, fue nombrado asesor de Metaplanet en marzo y participó en la reciente reunión donde se concretó la compra de criptomonedas. Aunque ni él ni la empresa han ofrecido declaraciones públicas, se sabe que la administración Trump tiene como objetivo convertir a EE.UU. en el centro mundial del ecosistema cripto.

Je kent Project Beethoven nog wel. Het Rijk en de regio staken vorig jaar samen 2.5 miljard in onderwijs en infrastructuur om chiptrots ASML in Nederland te houden. ASML klaagde namelijk over het Nederlandse vestigingsklimaat en dreigde met vertrek naar Frankrijk, dat met industriepolitiek grote bedrijven wilde lokken. Maar waar het hart vol van zit, loopt de portefeuille van over. ASML kan niet stoppen met zijn Franse flirt. Het steekt even 1.3 miljard euro in het Franse AI-bedrijf Mistral. Wat betekent dat voor beide bedrijven? Wat krijgt ASML ervoor terug? En: is Mistral eigenlijk wel een partner van formaat? Verder herinnert u zich ook nog wel de Europese schuldencrisis. "Whatever it takes", zei ECB-baas Mario Draghi toen Griekenland, Italië, Spanje en andere Zuid-Europese landen hun broek amper nog op konden houden en de Euro uit elkaar dreigde te spatten. Dat is nu wel anders. De zuiderlingen lopen de Duitsers lachend voorbij op de beurs. Toch moet je tussen al die omhoog geschoten banken goed opletten wat je koopt. Tot slot bespreken we een stortvloed aan beursgangen in de VS. De dealmakers op Wall Street zitten te watertanden: ein-de-lijk weer dikke fees verdienen aan IPO's van datacenters, cybersecurity en... concertkaartjes? We vragen gast Jean-Paul van Oudheusden van eToro en Markets are Everywhere of hij er nog wat moois tussen ziet.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Giovedì 2 settembre 2025, un giudice federale USA ha confermato che Google ha abusato del suo monopolio nella ricerca online. Tuttavia, non dovrà vendere né Chrome né Android. Le è stato però vietato di fare accordi esclusivi per far diventare Google Search il motore predefinito e dovrà condividere alcuni dati di ricerca con i concorrenti. Dopo la sentenza, le azioni di Alphabet sono volate e anche Apple (che ha un gigantesco accordo con Google) ne ha tratto vantaggio.

In this conversation, Aidan Larkin explores the complexities of international money laundering with Miles Johnson, investigative reporter for the Financial Times and author of Chasing Shadows (2023). Drawing on Miles' reporting and research, they examine the intricate connections between organised crime and global finance, the challenges faced by law enforcement in dismantling these networks, and the geopolitical factors that influence the recovery of illicit assets. Timestamps 00:00 – Introduction 10:30 - The Intersection of Organised Crime and Financial Markets 18:45 - Challenges in Investigating Money Laundering 25:00 - The Role of the DEA and International Law Enforcement 32:20 - The Complexity of International Crime Networks 40:00 - Reflections on Chasing Shadows About our Guest Miles Johnson is an investigative journalist specialising in international organised crime and money laundering. As a reporter for the Financial Times, he has uncovered complex criminal networks, exposed the financial systems that enable illicit operations across borders, and been instrumental in bringing high-profile cross-border investigations to light to reveal the mechanisms that underpin global criminal enterprises.

Her biographer Amy Gray joined Nuala to address the many contradictions of this pioneering politician.

Flags are flying across Britain—but behind the bunting lurks a far-right campaign. Chris and Matt kick off Season 10 with a look at "Operation Raise the Colours," the extremist-led push to turn patriotism into intimidation. From there, they move to Ukraine, where the US has signaled willingness to offer critical support to a potential European-led peacekeeping force, even as Trump hedges on a deal with Moscow. Next, Tulsi Gabbard ignites turmoil at the top of the intelligence community, revoking dozens of clearances—including an undercover CIA officer's—raising fears of politicization and damage to US alliances. Finally, the guys head to New Zealand, where a soldier's espionage case exposes ties to far-right groups and highlights how extremists exploit culture wars from both sides.

The Financial Times is the paper for business and world leaders, and comes with a hefty subscription price of $45/month. But what does it mean to serve the elite in a growing age of populism, and what are the consequences of high quality journalism only being available to the 1%? This week, Ben and Max bring on the editor of the FT, Roula Khalaf, to talk about the paper's position in a populist world, who it ultimately serves, and the surprising success that older FT journalists have had on social media. They also discuss the ways the paper is experimenting with AI, what Khalaf has learned through her conversations with tech leaders like Sam Altman, and how she thinks about reporting on Trump.

The triumphant globalization that began in the 1990s has given way to a world riven by conflict, populism, and economic nationalism. In The World's Worst Bet: How the Globalization Gamble Went Wrong (And What Would Make It Right), (PublicAffairs, 2025) David J. Lynch offers a trenchant, fast-paced narrative of the rise and fall of the greatest engine of prosperity the world has ever known. Lynch explains what went right, what went wrong, and what needs to change to preserve the benefits of global integration and to build prosperity for all Americans. Lynch brings a deep understanding of the forces affecting Americans' lives to his portrayal of a fascinating cast of characters: presidents and policymakers; factory workers whose anger over lost jobs reshaped a nation's politics; and the anti-globalization warriors of the right and left. Their stories show how the United States made a bad bet on globalization, gambling that it could enjoy its benefits while ignoring its costs: dislocated workers, vulnerable supply chains, and the rise of a powerful rival. With trillions of dollars now at stake, The World's Worst Bet explains the failings of the past and offers an insightful guide to the opportunities of the future. David J. Lynch is the global economics correspondent of the Washington Post. The recipient of the National Press Foundation's Hinrich Award for Distinguished Reporting on Trade in 2021, Lynch has reported from more than sixty countries for the Post and earlier in his career with the Financial Times of London, Bloomberg News, and USA Today.

“We're committed to supporting U.S. suppliers involved in every key stage of the chip-making process — from the earliest stages of research and development, to final fabrication and packaging.” - Sabih Khan, COO at Apple In April, President Trump said that he wants the Apple iPhone to be manufactured in the United States.  The iPhone's 2,700 components currently come from 187 suppliers in 28 countries, according to an article from the Financial Times, and less than 5 percent of the total components are manufactured domestically.  Apple ships 438 iPhones every minute, and 85 percent of them are assembled by Foxconn, with its dozens of locations in China. Can Apple reshore the iPhone? We're all watching to find out. In this episode of the Art of Supply podcast, Kelly Barner looks into whether this lofty goal could become a reality: What incentives does Apple have to make this work, and what are the disincentives to tolerate failure? How are they investing domestically in terms of capacity, partnerships, and talent? Are they thinking big enough to address the raw materials required in their silicon and battery supply chains?  Links: Kelly Barner on LinkedIn Art of Supply LinkedIn newsletter  Art of Supply on AOP Subscribe to This Week in Procurement  

It's Wednesday, September 3rd, A.D. 2025. This is The Worldview in 5 Minutes heard on 140 radio stations and at www.TheWorldview.com.  I'm Adam McManus. (Adam@TheWorldview.com) By Jonathan Clark Turkish persecution of Christians heats up The Turkish Association of Protestant Churches reports Christians in Turkey faced increased persecution last year. The persecution often came in the form of hateful speech either in person or online. And, iIn two cases, assailants fired guns at church buildings.  Turkey also banned many foreign Christians from entering the country in recent years. Nine of these Christians appealed the ban. However, a court ruled against them and published their names. Media outlets branded the Christians as enemies of the state. Many social media comments called for them to be put to death. Turkey is ranked 45th on the Open Doors' World Watch List of the most difficult countries worldwide to be a Christian.  2.5 million acres of European Union burned The European Union is experiencing its worst wildfire season since records began in 2006. Nearly 2.5 million acres of land have burned so far this year. Spain and Portugal account for over two-thirds of that area. Between the two countries, over 1.5 million acres have burned with much of it happening in just two weeks. Birth rates in England and Wales continue to fall The U.K. Office for National Statistics reported last week that birth rates fell to a new low in England and Wales. Other developed countries are also seeing low birth rates like the United States, France, and Italy. However, there appears to be a political gap in fertility. John Burn-Murdoch of the Financial Times wrote, “From the US to Europe and beyond, people who identify as conservative are having almost as many children as they were decades ago. The decline is overwhelmingly among those on the progressive left, in effect nudging each successive generation's politics further to the right.” Quebec, Canada to ban public prayers Quebec, Canada's largest province, is planning to ban public prayer. Quebec's Secularism Minister Jean-François Roberge said, “The premier of Quebec has given me the mandate to strengthen secularism . . . This fall, we will therefore introduce a bill to strengthen secularism in Quebec, in particular by banning street prayers.” The move comes in response to Muslim prayer gatherings. However, it would apply to all religions including Christianity. Nearly 65% of Quebec's population identifies as Christian. Psalm 10:4 says, “The wicked, in the haughtiness of his countenance, does not seek [the Lord]. All his thoughts are, ‘There is no God.'” Univ of Michigan fired Christian doctor who objected to transgender surgeries In the United States, a federal court ruled in favor of a Christian in a religious liberty case. Back in 2021, the University of Michigan Health-West fired Valerie Kloosterman for her beliefs. The Christian physician assistant refused to support transgender procedures or pronoun usage. The latest ruling allows her case against the university to move forward.  Kayla Toney, counsel at First Liberty Institute, said, “Today's decision is a reckoning for institutions that discriminate and punish caring people of faith.” Bill Gates funds embalming of deceased newborns to harvest organs Modernity News reports the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation is funding a new gruesome project. The project involves embalming deceased newborn babies who died in neonatal intensive care units. Researchers would harvest tissues and organs from the babies for artificial intelligence development. LifeNews noted, “The Gates Foundation's involvement is seen as particularly troubling given its history of funding abortion.” 150th anniversary of Japan Bible Society And finally, the Japan Bible Society is celebrating its 150th anniversary this year. In the 1870s, American and European Bible societies established branches in Japan. These early Bible societies translated the Scriptures into Japanese in the 1880s. Their work laid the foundation for the current Japan Bible Society. Bible distribution in Japan picked up in the 1940s as 2.3 million copies of the Bible were distributed. After World War II, the Japan Bible Society became a fully self-supporting Bible Society.  Its website says, “Since then, the Japan Bible Society has not only been serving the Japanese people but also other Bible Societies that are not yet independent.” Psalm 22:27 says, “All the ends of the world shall remember and turn to the LORD, and all the families of the nations shall worship before You.” Close And that's The Worldview on this Wednesday, September 3rd, in the year of our Lord 2025. Follow us on X or subscribe for free by Spotify, Amazon Music, or by iTunes or email to our unique Christian newscast at www.TheWorldview.com.  I'm Adam McManus (Adam@TheWorldview.com).

We go deep into stablecoins, the idea and practice of which have been around for a while, but a few things have happened this summer to make the matter catch major momentum. To parse through these developments (especially the US GENIUS Act), outlook, and risks, we welcome back Eswar Prasad, the Tolani Senior Professor of Trade Policy and Professor of Economics at Cornell University. We touch on the stablecoin tech stack, legislations being passed around the world, international dimensions, use case, regulatory risks, and potential disruptions to central banking and traditional finance. Eswar wrote an excellent piece on the Financial Times recently on this topic. Kopi Time extends those thoughts. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Summary of the Synthetic Drug Trade from Mexico to America:Methamphetamine Production: Mexico became a major source of methamphetamine production due to the availability of precursor chemicals, weak law enforcement in certain regions, and the presence of powerful drug cartels. Meth labs operated in various regions of Mexico, producing large quantities of the drug destined for the U.S. market.Fentanyl Trafficking: Another major aspect of the synthetic drug trade was the trafficking of fentanyl, a potent synthetic opioid. Mexican drug cartels capitalized on the demand for opioids in the United States and began manufacturing and smuggling fentanyl across the border.Smuggling Routes: Mexican drug cartels have sophisticated smuggling operations that use a variety of routes to transport drugs into the United States. These routes include clandestine tunnels, hidden compartments in vehicles, commercial shipments, and even drones.Distribution Networks: Once the drugs cross the border, they are distributed throughout the United States using well-established distribution networks operated by cartel associates or street gangs. These networks reach into various cities and towns, making the drugs easily accessible to users.Violence and Corruption: The synthetic drug trade is associated with high levels of violence and corruption in Mexico. Drug cartels fiercely compete for control of lucrative drug trafficking routes, leading to territorial disputes and violent confrontations.Ongoing Challenges: Law enforcement agencies in both Mexico and the United States have been working together to combat the synthetic drug trade. However, the constantly evolving nature of the trade and the vast profits involved present ongoing challenges in curbing the flow of these drugs.In this episode we see how Synthetic drugs, namely Fentanyl, has changed the narcotics game and how the cartels are adjusting their business practices to reflect this. to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comsource:Subscribe to read | Financial Times (ft.com)

Adam Wowak is a Professor of Management & Organization in the Mendoza College of Business at the University of Notre Dame where he teaches strategic management to MBA and Ph.D. students. Adam's research focuses on strategic leadership and corporate governance. His work has appeared in top-tier academic journals, including Administrative Science Quarterly, Academy of Management Review, Academy of Management Journal, Strategic Management Journal, and Organization Science. His research has also been profiled in media outlets such as The Atlantic, Financial Times, Forbes, NBC News, New York Times, and the Wall Street Journal, among others. Adam received both his bachelor's degree and Ph.D. from Penn State University. In this episode we discuss the following: When Adam graduated college, he had a prestigious job as an investment banker. It paid well. It was intellectually challenging. He liked the people he was working with. But he wasn't excited to work every day. He didn't have autonomy. And he didn't have creative outlets. So he thought about the tradeoffs he was making by staying. He then considered the  tradeoffs he would make by leaving. By thinking about tradeoffs, Adam gained clarity on what mattered most to him. He ultimately chose to leave banking and found his way to academia, which has its own set of tradeoffs, but ones that Adam is happier with. As Adam tells his students, there are three types of careers people can have. One they love. One they hate. And one they're okay with, in the murky middle. And it's this third kind of career that people need to watch out for so that they don't drift, and wake up 20 years later realizing they should have thought more carefully about the tradeoffs they were making. Remember to think about the tradeoffs we're making, both when we stick with the status quo and when we decide to change.    Connect on Social Media: X: https://twitter.com/nate_meikle LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/natemeikle/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/nate_meikle/ Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/@nate.meikle

1006: Apple's success in China is more complicated—and consequential—than most realize. In this episode, Peter High speaks with Financial Times journalist and author Patrick McGee, who covered Apple for years and recently published Apple in China: The Capture of the World's Greatest Company. Patrick's reporting reveals how Apple became deeply intertwined with China's manufacturing and political landscape, why the company's investment strategy mirrors the scale of the Marshall Plan, and what it means for America's technological and geopolitical future. Patrick explains how Apple trained tens of millions of Chinese workers, enabled critical industrial know-how, and inadvertently supported the rise of China's tech and military capabilities. He also discusses the internal tensions between product design and supply chain mastery, Tim Cook's evolution as a CEO, and the risks of Apple's continued dependence on a single nation for its most critical operations. Key insights include: The little-known “Gang of Eight” and Apple's in-China-for-China strategy Why Apple's $275B China deal dwarfs U.S. tech investments like the CHIPS Act How Apple's success helped catalyze Huawei's resurgence and HarmonyOS The supply chain realities that make shifting manufacturing nearly impossible

Think about the times you've assumed someone's behavior revealed exactly what they were thinking. Nicholas Epley, our guest for this episode, explains this as correspondence bias and, through his book Mindwise, teaches us about the concept of correspondence bias and explains how we often believe that a person's actions correspond directly to their mental state. You'll hear about his research into social cognition and how it reveals that while humans are generally adept at reading others, we frequently overestimate our accuracy. The episode also covers practical experiments on how engaging with strangers can significantly boost our happiness, despite our fears and misconceptions, and the importance of curiosity in overcoming social anxieties and making positive first impressions. Listen and Learn: How our unique “sixth sense” of mind reading, our ability to understand, predict, and connect with others' invisible thoughts, shapes human connection and survivalWhy our ability to read other people's minds is far less accurate than we think, and what makes understanding others such a difficult challengeWhy we often overestimate how well we understand those closest to us, and how even long-term partners are not as accurate at reading each other's thoughts and feelings as they believeWhat drives our brains to form first impressions in an instant, how overconfidence shapes the way we read others, and why moment-to-moment cues like facial expressions play a bigger role in social interactions than we often realize?How can you make a great first impression without overthinking body language or tricks, simply by staying curious and genuinely interested in the person you're talking to?How correspondence bias makes us assume people's actions reflect their true thoughts and feelings, why this can lead to misjudgments, and how showing confidence, curiosity, or kindness can positively influence how others respond to youCan striking up a conversation with a stranger boost happiness more than staying to yourself, even though we usually expect the interaction to go badly?Resources: Mindwise: Why We Misunderstand What Others Think, Believe, Feel, and Want: https://bookshop.org/a/30734/9780307743565 Nicholas' website: https://www.nicholasepley.com/About Nicholas EpleyNicholas Epley is the John Templeton Keller Distinguished Service Professor of Behavior Science and Director of the Center for Decision Research at the University of Chicago Booth School of Business.

A new report, published yesterday, says Britain's gender pay gap has been understated for two decades, casting doubt on the accuracy of official figures.

Alex Bryson is Professor of Quantitative Social Science at University College London and worked on this research and Amy Borrett is a data journalist at the Financial Times. They join Nuala McGovern to discuss.Have you heard of 'spicy' fiction?

They talk about the history of the export control regime targeting China's access to AI chips, the strategic risks of allowing China to acquire powerful chips like the Nvidia H20, and the potential harm to the international coalition that has worked to restrict China's access to this technology. They also debate the statutory and constitutional legality of the deal, which appears to function as an export tax, a practice explicitly prohibited by the Constitution.Mentioned in this episode:The Financial Times article breaking the news about the Nvidia dealThe Trump Administration's AI Action PlanFind Scaling Laws on the Lawfare website, and subscribe to never miss an episode.To receive ad-free podcasts, become a Lawfare Material Supporter at www.patreon.com/lawfare.
