In the basement room of an East London flat one rainy January morning, Jack sat down with the Irish writer Rob Doyle to discuss the publication of his third novel, Cameo, and delve into his long and complex love for the work of Martin Amis.Rob chose to talk about London Fields, the novel we first encounter on this series through the Financial Times columnist, Janan Ganesh. But whereas Ganesh grew up in Croydon in the late Eighties, with the London Amis depicts in the novel practically on his doorstep, Doyle had never been to England's capital when the cover of London Fields first caught his eye, aged 23, from the shelves of a book exchange at a backpacker's hostel in South East Asia.On a long bus journey in this far-flung part of the world, Doyle recounts coming to terms with the alchemic mastery of Amis's prose in this 1989 masterpiece. London Fields, he says, blended seamlessly the very highest ideas with the very lowest, all to great comic effect. Writing about London, Amis was engaged in an act of philosophy, dredged up from the deepest pits of urban and human decay.Rob and Jack go on to discuss that force of nature that is of course Keith Talent. Talent is for Doyle, as he is for Ganesh, not just one of Amis's greatest characters, but one of the greatest characters ever to cast a shadow on the history of English literature. Of all Amis's beleaguered and benighted male creations, Talent is also arguably the happiest, since apart from anything else, he would be the least bothered by Amis's contempt for him. Later on, Rob and Jack talk about the world Amis so often condemns his male characters to live in. Whether we look to John Self (a man consumed by his own oniomania), the bleak rivalry that sets Keith Talent and Guy Clinch on their fateful course with Nicola Six, or indeed that which Richard Tull and Gwyn Barry must see through a novel later in The Information, Amis's men are rarely sanguine creatures.Male conflict and humiliation were two of Amis's greatest subjects, but while Doyle still regards Amis as one of the best writers ever to interrogate them in their art, he is less convinced by Amis's opposition outlook on male relationships now, in his forties, than he was as a younger man.Happy New Year to you, dear listener. 2026 has begun.FOLLOW US ON TWITTER/ X: @mymartinamisFIND US ON YOUTUBE Hosted on Acast.

Yesterday's show from the DLD conference was about the need for Europe to relearn the language of power. Today, things get even more dire for our European friends. I asked another DLD speaker, Carl Benedikt Frey, a Swedish economic historian who teaches at Oxford, whether it's “game over” for Europe in terms of its ability to compete with American and Chinese big tech. His answer: not yet—but close. Frey's last book, shortlisted for the 2025 Financial Times business book of the year, is entitled How Progress Ends: Technology, Innovation and the Fate of Nations. But it's specifically Europe's economic progress and the fate of European nations that most concerns Frey. Unless Europeans create a true single market for services, he warns, it really could be the end of the European dream of continent-wide progress. So no more crossroads for a continent perennially at a crossroads. And that single market, Frey explains, is ultimately a matter of political rather than economic will.Keen On America is a reader-supported publication.

Nuova guerra tariffaria per la Groenlandia

Gli Stati Uniti hanno annunciato nuovi dazi contro otto Paesi europei che hanno rafforzato la presenza militare in Groenlandia: tariffe del 10% dal 1° febbraio, destinate a salire al 25% da giugno, come strumento di pressione per ottenere la cessione del territorio dalla Danimarca a Washington. Francia e Svezia hanno respinto il ricatto, mentre il Parlamento europeo ha reagito bloccando la ratifica dell'accordo commerciale Ue-Usa siglato nel 2025. Secondo il Financial Times, Bruxelles valuta contromisure per 93 miliardi di euro o restrizioni all'accesso delle imprese americane al mercato europeo, inclusa l'attivazione dello strumento anti-coercizione. Intanto la Danimarca ha smentito l'esistenza di minacce imminenti da Russia e Cina, contestando la narrativa di Trump, che ha ulteriormente rilanciato lo scontro con dichiarazioni aggressive rivolte agli alleati Nato. Interviene Adriana Cerretelli, editorialista Sole 24 Ore BruxellesLa Schizofrenia dei mercati tra i dazi di Trump e i record EuropeiL'inizio del 2026 mostra mercati finanziari apparentemente indifferenti a un cambio di regime profondo: dal commercio globale imperfetto a un mercantilismo esplicito, in cui i dazi diventano leva geopolitica. Nonostante le tensioni legate alla Groenlandia, la reazione degli investitori è stata contenuta: leggere correzioni azionarie, euro stabile e movimenti moderati dei beni rifugio. Paradossalmente, mentre il quadro politico europeo si fa più fragile, le borse del continente corrono: lo Stoxx 600 segna una lunga serie di rialzi e sovraperforma nettamente Wall Street, trainato da settori ciclici, difesa e "old economy". Al tempo stesso, il forte afflusso verso oro e argento segnala un'esigenza di copertura contro l'instabilità, indicando che gli investitori cercano protezione più che rendimento in uno scenario di crescente incertezza strutturale. Il commento è di Lorenzo Codogno, Visiting professor alla London School of Economics e al College of EuropeNon solo dazi, la UE dopo il Mercosur guarda all'India, la Cina al CanadaIl World Economic Forum di Davos si apre in un contesto segnato da tensioni geopolitiche e dalla ricerca di nuove rotte commerciali alternative ai dazi americani. L'Unione europea accelera sul fronte degli accordi: dopo la storica intesa con il Mercosur, guarda all'India come partner strategico, con l'obiettivo di chiudere un accordo di libero scambio entro gennaio. La missione del cancelliere tedesco Merz a New Delhi conferma questo orientamento, anche se alcuni dossier industriali restano aperti. Parallelamente, la Cina ha siglato un accordo con il Canada per normalizzare i rapporti commerciali, riducendo dazi su veicoli elettrici e prodotti agricoli, segnando un raffreddamento delle tensioni e una diversificazione delle alleanze commerciali globali in risposta al nuovo protezionismo statunitense.

Ralph Nader Radio Hour
Impeachment Now!/Fifty Species That Save Us

Ralph Nader Radio Hour

With the American republic hanging in the balance, Ralph calls on Democrats to pressure Republicans in the House and Senate to impeach Trump before the midterms or suffer the consequences. Then, we welcome Dino Grandoni, co-author of a Washington Post report on the surprising ways various species of animals and plants help advance our own health and longevity.Dino Grandoni is a reporter who covers life sciences for the Washington Post. He was part of a reporting team that was a finalist for the 2025 Pulitzer Prize in National Reporting for coverage of Hurricane Helene. He previously covered the Environmental Protection Agency and wrote a daily tipsheet on energy and environmental policy. He is co-author (with Hailey Haymond and Katty Huertas) of the feature “50 Species That Save Us.”The Democrats—while there are people like constitutional law expert Jamie Raskin (who has said a shadow hearing to publicly educate the American people on impeachment “is a good idea”) he's been muzzled by Hakeem Jeffries and Charlie Schumer, who basically don't want the Democrats to use the word impeachment. So who's using the word impeachment the most? Donald Trump—not only wants to impeach judges who decide against him, but he's talking about the Democrats impeaching him, and he uses the word all the time. So we have an upside-down situation here where the opposition party is not in the opposition on the most critical factor, which is that we have the most impeachable President in American history, getting worse by the day.Ralph NaderIf the founding fathers came back to life today, would any of them oppose the impeachment, conviction, and removal of office of Donald J. Trump, who talks about being a monarch? That's what they fought King George over. Of course, they would all support it.Ralph NaderWhat we have in these cards and in our stories at the Washington Post here are examples of the ways we know, the ways that scientists have uncovered how plants and animals help us. But we don't know what we don't know. There are likely numerous other ways that plants and animals are protecting human well-being that we don't know and we may very well never know if some of these species go extinct.Dino GrandoniI'm always eager to find these connections between human well-being and the well-being of nature and try to describe them in ways that are compelling to readers that get them to care about protecting nature. And also finding those instances (because I want to be objective here) of when human well-being and the well-being of nature might be in conflict, and that might involve some tough decisions that we as a society or policymakers have to make.Dino GrandoniNews 1/16/25* Our top two stories this week concern corporate wrongdoing. First, Business Insider reports that the New York City Department of Consumer and Worker Protection has released a new report which estimates Uber Eats and DoorDash, by altering their tipping processes in the city – moving tipping prompts to less prominent locations after checkout so upfront delivery costs would appear lower – have deprived gig delivery workers of $550 million since December 2023. As this piece notes, that was the month that New York City's minimum pay law for delivery workers took effect. As a result, “The average tip for delivery workers on the apps dropped 75%...from $3.66 to $0.93, one week after the apps made the changes…The figure has since declined to $0.76 per delivery.” This report presages a new city law that “requires the apps to offer customers the option to tip before or during checkout. Both Uber and DoorDash have sued the City over the law, which is set to take effect on January 26.” Whether the administration will stick to their guns on this issue, in the face of corporate pressure, will be a major early test for Mayor Zohran Mamdani.* Meanwhile, the Wall Street Journal reports UnitedHealth Group “deployed aggressive tactics to collect payment-boosting diagnoses for its Medicare Advantage members.” As the Journal explains, “In Medicare Advantage, the federal government pays insurers a lump sum to oversee medical benefits for seniors and disabled people. The government pays extra for patients with certain costly medical conditions, a process called risk adjustment.” A new report from the Senate Judiciary Committee found that UnitedHealth had “turned risk adjustment into a business,” thereby exploiting Medicare Advantage and systematically and fraudulently overbilling the federal government. Due to its structure, advocates like Ralph Nader have long warned that Medicare Advantage is ripe for waste fraud and abuse, in addition to being an inferior program for seniors compared to traditional Medicare. This report supports the accuracy of these warnings. Yet, Dr. Mehmet Oz Trump's appointee to head the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services, is a longtime proselytizer for Medicare Advantage and this setback is unlikely to make him reverse course, no matter the cost to patients or taxpayers.* Yet, even as these instances of corporate criminal lawlessness pile up, the Trump administration is all but abolishing the police on the corporate crime beat. In a new report, Rick Claypool, corporate crime research director at Public Citizen, documents how the administration has “canceled or halted a total of 159 enforcement actions against 166 corporations.” This amounts to corporations avoiding payments totaling $3.1 billion in penalties for misconduct. This report further documents how these corporations have ingratiated themselves with Trump, via donations to his inauguration or ballroom project, or more typical revolving door or lobbying arrangements. As Claypool himself puts it, “The ‘law enforcement' claims the White House uses as a pretext for authoritarian anti-immigrant crackdowns, city occupations, and imperial resource seizures abroad lose all credibility when cast against the lawlessness Trump allows for the pursuit of corporate profits.”* In another instance of a Trump administration giveaway to corporations, the New York Times reports the Environmental Protection Agency will “Stop Considering Lives Saved When Setting Rules on Air Pollution.” Under the new regulatory regime, the EPA will “estimate only the costs to businesses of complying with the rules.” The Times explains that different administrations have balanced these competing interests differently, always faced with the morbid dilemma of how much, in a dollar amount, to value human life; but “until now, no administration has counted it as zero.”* Moving to Congress, the big news from the Legislative Branch this week has to do with Bill and Hillary Clinton. NPR reports Congressman James Comer, Chair of the House Oversight Committee, issued subpoenas to the former president and former Secretary of State to testify in a committee hearing related to convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein. In a letter published earlier this week, the Clintons formally rejected the subpoenas, calling them “legally invalid.” The Clintons' refusal to appear tees up an opportunity for Congress to exercise its contempt power and force the couple to testify. Democrats on the Oversight Committee, who agreed to issue the subpoenas as part of a larger list, have noted that “most of the other people have not been forced to testify,” indicating that this is a political stunt rather than an earnest effort. That said, there is little doubt that, at least, former President Clinton knows more about the Epstein affair than he has stated publicly thus far and there is a good chance Congress will vote through a contempt resolution and force him to testify.* In the Senate, Elizabeth Warren, Chris Murphy and other liberal Senators are “urging their Democratic colleagues to pivot to economic populism by ‘confronting' corporate power and billionaires, warning that just talking about affordability alone won't move swing voters who backed President Trump in 2024,” per the Hill. Senators Adam Schiff of California and Tina Smith of Minnesota also signed this memo. The Senators cited a recent poll that found Americans “increasingly cannot afford basic goods such as medical care and groceries,” but they also warned that “Bland policy proposals — without a narrative explaining who is getting screwed and who is doing the screwing – will not work.” Hopefully this forceful urging by fellow Senators will move the needle within the Democratic caucus in the upper house. Nothing else seems to have driven the point home.* One candidate who seems to understand this message is Graham Platner of Maine. Platner, who is endorsed by Bernie Sanders, has a controversial past that includes a career in the Marines and a stint working for the private military contractor Blackwater. However, he is running as a staunch economic populist and New Deal style progressive Democrat – and the message appears to be working. According to Zeteo, a poll conducted in mid-December found Platner up by 15 points in the primary over his opponent, current Governor Janet Mills. More concerning is the fact that this same poll shows both Platner and Mills in a dead heat with incumbent Republican Senator Susan Collins, indicating this could be a brutal, protracted and expensive campaign.* On the other end of the spectrum, Axios reported this week that former Congressman Sean Patrick Maloney, who once led the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee and then served as President Biden's ambassador to the Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development, has accepted a role as CEO and president of the Coalition for Prediction Markets. The coalition is essentially a trade association for betting websites; members include Kalshi, Crypto.com Robinhood and Coinbase, among others. The coalition will leverage Maloney's influence with Democrats, along with former Republican Congressman Patrick McHenry's influence across the aisle, to lobby for favorable regulation for their industry.* Turning to foreign affairs, prosecutors in South Korea have announced that they are seeking the death penalty for former President Yoon Suk-Yeol on “charges of masterminding an insurrection over his brief imposition of martial law in December 2024,” per Reuters. In a stunning courtroom revelation, a prosecutor said during closing arguments that “investigators confirmed the existence of a scheme allegedly directed by Yoon and his former defence minister, Kim Yong-hyun, dating back to October 2023 designed to keep Yoon in power.” The prosecutor added that “The defendant has not sincerely regretted the crime... or apologised properly to the people.” As this piece notes, South Korea has not carried out a death sentence in nearly three decades. Even still, it is remarkable to see how this case has unfolded compared to the reaction of the American judicial system to Donald Trump's attempted self-coup on January 6th, 2021.* Finally, turning to Latin America, many expected the fall of Nicolás Maduro to mean a redoubled energy crisis for the long-embargoed island nation of Cuba. Yet, the Financial Times reports that in fact, “Mexico overtook Venezuela to become Cuba's top oil supplier in 2025…helping the island weather a sharp drop in Venezuelan crude shipments.” CBS adds that “Despite President Trump's social media pronouncement…that ‘there will be no more oil or money going to Cuba — zero,' the current U.S. policy is to allow Mexico to continue to provide oil to the island, according to Energy Secretary Chris Wright.” For the time being, the administration seems open to maintaining this status quo – including maintaining cordial relations with Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum – though this appears more strained than ever. Sheinbaum harshly criticized the kidnapping of Maduro, stating “unilateral action and invasion cannot be the basis for international relations in the 21st century,” while Republican Congressman Carlos Gimenez has threatened that there could be “serious consequences for trade between our countries” if Sheinbaum “continues to undermine US policy by sending oil to the murderous dictatorship in Cuba.”This has been Francesco DeSantis, with In Case You Haven't Heard.

L'indagine di Altroconsumo sull'avvicinamento alle Olimpiadi Invernali Milano-Cortina 2026 evidenzia un forte aumento dei prezzi nelle località di gara. Un weekend olimpico di febbraio 2026 per due persone può superare in media i 1.800 euro. Cortina d'Ampezzo è la località più cara, con costi medi oltre i 2.000 euro (+261% rispetto a gennaio), mentre in Valtellina l'aumento percentuale è il più alto (+437%), pur con una spesa media inferiore. Più accessibili Val di Fiemme (circa 500 euro) e Milano (poco oltre 300 euro), anche se con prezzi quasi doppi rispetto a un weekend normale.Rispetto ad agosto 2025 si registra un lieve calo di hotel e Airbnb, legato a una domanda più debole, ma l'effetto Olimpiadi resta marcato soprattutto in montagna. I trasporti ferroviari mostrano rincari medi contenuti, ma con forti aumenti sui prezzi massimi di alcune tratte; Milano fa eccezione con un lieve calo. Incidono molto anche i biglietti delle gare: si va da meno di 100 euro per discipline più popolari fino a oltre 500 euro per gli eventi più richiesti. Un weekend a Milano può restare sotto i 700 euro, mentre a Cortina per lo sci alpino si può superare quota 2.800 euro. Interviene Alessandro Sessa, Direttore editoriale di Altroconsumo.Ex Ilva, ArcelorMittal citata in giudizio: dai commissari maxi-richiesta danni da 7 miliardiI commissari di Acciaierie d'Italia hanno citato in giudizio ArcelorMittal davanti al Tribunale di Milano chiedendo un risarcimento di 7 miliardi di euro per presunta cattiva gestione dell'ex Ilva. Secondo l'atto, visionato dal Financial Times, gli squilibri finanziari deriverebbero da una strategia deliberata volta a trasferire risorse dalla società italiana alla casa madre. La denuncia, preparata dallo Studio Zoppini, sostiene che la gestione non fosse orientata al rilancio ma all'indebolimento del gruppo siderurgico, attraverso una governance parallela guidata dall'allora vertice aziendale. I danni contestati riguardano in particolare mancate manutenzioni e perdite legate alle quote Ets. La causa è destinata a diventare una delle più rilevanti richieste di risarcimento mai presentate in Italia. Facciamo il punto con Domenico Palmiotti, Il Sole 24 Ore Taranto.Tassisti in piazza contro le multinazionali privateÈ in corso uno sciopero nazionale dei tassisti, dalle 8 alle 22, con adesione quasi totale in molte città italiane. La protesta è rivolta contro il governo e contro l'ingresso delle multinazionali nel settore, accusate di dumping fiscale e di introdurre tariffe dinamiche tramite algoritmi. Manifestazioni e tensioni si sono registrate a Roma, con presidio a Montecitorio. Le sigle sindacali chiedono regole chiare, la riapertura del tavolo sui decreti attuativi bloccati dal 2019, il contrasto all'abusivismo e la tutela del taxi come servizio pubblico. Cgil e Uiltrasporti accusano l'esecutivo di favorire le piattaforme, mentre altre realtà come Uri e itTaxi criticano lo sciopero, attribuendo il vuoto normativo alle stesse sigle promotrici. Il ministro dei Trasporti Matteo Salvini ha convocato le associazioni per un incontro domani, mentre oggi una delegazione dei tassisti è stata ricevuta in prefettura a Roma.

Octavia Hill, Hardwicke Rawnsley, and Sir Robert Hunter founded The National Trust on January 12, 1895, with an intention to preserve Britain's natural beauty and historic treasures for the public and future generations. The founders' efforts reflected the late Victorian spirit of social and environmental reform, championed by figures like John Ruskin and William Morris. Rawnsley led early efforts by opposing a Lake District construction project, rallying support to protect its pristine landscapes. This campaign highlighted the growing realization that industrial progress could irreparably harm Britain's natural treasures. Over the decades, the National Trust evolved into the cultural powerhouse it is today, with over 5.5 million members and 65,000 volunteers. Arion, Rebecca and Olly sniff a whiff of benevolent paternalism; consider whether the Trust offered a form of socialism by the back-door; and discover how shockingly long it took before the Trust started shilling its own merch… Further Reading: • '100 years on, Octavia Hill's battles are not won' (The Times, 2012): https://www.thetimes.com/article/eb932ff9-3810-4598-9bdd-e9a17feefa5d • ‘Cream teas and home truths: the National Trust at 125' (Financial Times, 2020): https://www.ft.com/content/24fee86a-3818-4769-929a-41b604010917 • ‘National Trust in the Lake District' (National Trust NW, 2017): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G7588bsTQq8 Love the show?

Why Should We Care About the Indo-Pacific?
Why Should We Care About the India Trump Made? | with James Crabtree

Why Should We Care About the Indo-Pacific?

Play Episode Listen Later Jan 9, 2026 56:23


The U.S.-India partnership has been a cornerstone of American Indo-Pacific strategy for two decades, but it's now facing its most serious crisis. After bipartisan American efforts to bring India into closer partnership as a counterweight to China, President Trump has triggered the most dramatic deterioration in U.S.-India relations in a generation. What began with optimism in Delhi about Trump 2.0 has devolved into a breakdown of trust, escalating tariffs, and diplomatic miscalculation that threatens the entire architecture of Indo-Pacific security.​In this essential episode, hosts Ray Powell (former U.S. military officer) and Jim Carouso (former U.S. diplomat) welcome back James Crabtree - distinguished visiting fellow at the European Council on Foreign Relations, former Financial Times bureau chief for India, and author of the acclaimed book “The Billionaire Raj.” Drawing on his recent Foreign Affairs article, “The India That Trump Made,” Crabtree unpacks how two decades of strategic partnership have been upended in less than a year.​What Happened?India expected favorable treatment from Trump given Modi's strong personal relationship with the president during his first term. Instead, they received 50% tariffs - first 25% on general goods, then another 25% for buying Russian oil, putting India's tariff burden equal to China's. Then came the Pakistan crisis: when India and Pakistan clashed in Operation Sindor, Trump claimed credit for brokering a ceasefire that India insists he didn't actually broker. Trump's perceived slight over not receiving sufficient credit has fueled ongoing tensions, while Pakistan successfully leveraged the moment through crypto deals, a Nobel Peace Prize nomination for Trump, and high-level military diplomacy.​Strategic ConsequencesThe Quad, the critical U.S.-Australia-India-Japan partnership, is essentially stalled, with a planned summit canceled and little energy for revival. India is now pursuing what Crabtree calls a “pivot to Europe,” seeking to replace American technology transfer, investment, and defense expertise with European alternatives. An EU-India summit in January will likely announce a long-negotiated trade deal, marking India's shift toward multi-alignment rather than U.S. partnership.​Meanwhile, Pakistan has successfully re-emerged as a regional player, signing security treaties with Saudi Arabia that include nuclear assurances and repositioning itself diplomatically after years in India's shadow. Russia remains a “diminishing asset” for India due to supply unreliability and limited technological offerings, though Delhi still needs Moscow for defense systems like the S-400 and to prevent Russia from becoming a complete Chinese vassal state.​India's FutureDespite the diplomatic turbulence, India posted 8% GDP growth last quarter and remains on a positive economic trajectory, though still a developing country at $2,000-3,000 per capita income. Prime Minister Modi, now in his third term and 11 years in office, continues to dominate Indian politics and will likely seek a fourth term, cementing his status as the most significant political figure in independent Indian history. India's “Make in India” defense ambitions are advancing slowly, with systems like the BrahMos missile finding export success in Southeast Asia, though India remains heavily import-dependent for military hardware.​Can U.S.-India trust be rebuilt? Crabtree is pessimistic: “The trust that had been built up between the U.S. and India over a two-decade period has been destroyed”. The pro-American camp in Delhi that architected the strategic partnership has been undermined, while pro-Russia voices feel vindicated.

Episode Notes In this episode of the Solar Maverick Podcast, host Benoy Thanjan sits down with Jarand Rystad, Founder and CEO of Rystad Energy, one of the world's leading energy intelligence and data advisory firms. Jarand explains why solar has dramatically outperformed historical forecasts, how rapid cost declines have reshaped global power markets, and why many regions are now facing a new challenge: too much solar at the wrong times. As grids become saturated with midday generation, energy storage has emerged as the critical missing link. The conversation explores why the next five years will belong to energy storage, how batteries enable higher renewable penetration, and what this shift means for pricing, grid stability, and project economics. Jarand also shares insights on powering the AI and data center boom, the evolving role of gas and nuclear, long-duration storage innovations, and why electrification is fundamentally transforming the global energy system. This episode is a must-listen for anyone looking to understand where the energy transition is headed, how markets are behaving beneath the headlines, and where the biggest opportunities will emerge over the next decade.   Biographies Benoy Thanjan Benoy Thanjan is the Founder and CEO of Reneu Energy, solar developer and consulting firm, and a strategic advisor to multiple cleantech startups. Over his career, Benoy has developed over 100 MWs of solar projects across the U.S., helped launch the first residential solar tax equity funds at Tesla, and brokered $45 million in Renewable Energy Credits (“REC”) transactions. Prior to founding Reneu Energy, Benoy was the Environmental Commodities Trader in Tesla's Project Finance Group, where he managed one of the largest environmental commodities portfolios. He originated REC trades and co-developed a monetization and hedging strategy with senior leadership to enter the East Coast market. As Vice President at Vanguard Energy Partners, Benoy crafted project finance solutions for commercial-scale solar portfolios. His role at Ridgewood Renewable Power, a private equity fund with 125 MWs of U.S. renewable assets, involved evaluating investment opportunities and maximizing returns. He also played a key role in the sale of the firm's renewable portfolio. Earlier in his career, Benoy worked in Energy Structured Finance at Deloitte & Touche and Financial Advisory Services at Ernst & Young, following an internship on the trading floor at D.E. Shaw & Co., a multi billion dollar hedge fund. Benoy holds an MBA in Finance from Rutgers University and a BS in Finance and Economics from NYU Stern, where he was an Alumni Scholar.   Jarand Rystad  Jarand Rystad founded Rystad Energy in 2004 and has, since its inception, managed the company. Jarand has extensive experience in the energy strategy advisory business and his areas of expertise include energy system analysis, energy scenarios, renewables, supply chains, emissions, asset and company valuations and transactions, macro analysis, and all aspects of the energy transition.

Lithium, a crucial input in the batteries powering electric vehicles, has the potential to save the world from climate change. But even green solutions come at a cost. Mining lithium is environmentally destructive. We therefore confront a dilemma: Is it possible to save the world by harming it in the process? Having spent over a decade researching mining and oil sectors in Latin America, Thea Riofrancos is a leading voice on resource extraction. In this episode, we discuss her 2025 book Extraction: The Frontiers of Green Capitalism, in which she draws on groundbreaking fieldwork on the global race for lithium. Taking readers from the breathtaking salt flats of Chile's Atacama Desert to Nevada's glorious Silver Peak Range to the rolling hills of the Barroso Region of Portugal, the book reveals the social and environmental costs of “critical minerals.” She takes stock of new policy paradigms in the Global South, where governments seek to leverage mineral assets to jumpstart green development. Zooming out from lithium, we also discuss the evolving geopolitics and geoeconomics of energy transition, critical minerals, and green technology supply chains. — Thea Riofrancos is an Associate Professor of Political Science at Providence College, a Strategic Co-Director of the Climate and Community Institute, and a fellow at the Transnational Institute. Her research focuses on resource extraction, climate change, the energy transition, the global lithium sector, green technologies, social movements, and the Latin American left. She explored these themes in her book, Resource Radicals: From Petro-Nationalism to Post-Extractivism in Ecuador (Duke University Press, 2020), peer-reviewed articles in Cultural Studies, World Politics, and Global Environmental Politics, and her coauthored book, A Planet to Win: Why We Need a Green New Deal (Verso Books, 2019).

Zoe Apostolides is a journalist and columnist, writing for The Guardian, The Telegraph and the Financial Times. Her new novel is 'The Homecoming', born out of conversations with her Grandmother. When she transcribed these, she thought... could I spin a sinister story out of this?It follows Ellen, a young ghost-writer, who is sent from London all the way to a rural manor house in Northumberland. When she finally arrives at the crumbling Elver Hall, urgently knocking on the door in the midst of a biblical storm, Ellen's never felt more alone. Her phone has no signal and the local taxi-driver refuses to take her further than the bottom of the lane. When Miss Carey suddenly appears on the stairwell in her white dressing gown, it's enough to make Ellen want to run back to London as fast as she can.We talk about how her career taught her wide and be interested in everything, which is great grounding for novel writing. Also, hear why as a city girl, much of the story came from her fetishing the countryside.

The Context of White Supremacy (C.O.W.S.) Radio Program hosts the weekly summit on Neutralizing Workplace Racism 01/01/26. On the opening day of the new year, ominous forecasts in the Financial Times and other outlets predict more jobs lost to technology. Tellingly, some reports anticipate jobs being lost regardless of how well the new technology performs. We'll also review the importance of checking your employee handbook. Some jobs mandate that workers submit to drug or alcohol testing, body searches or other invasive security measures. It's always best to know these policies in advance - maybe before you take the job.

C dans l'air du 2 janvier 2026 - IA : demain tous chômeurs ?Présentation de Salhia BrakhliaL'intelligence artificielle (IA) prend de plus en plus de place dans nos vies. Elle commence même à remplacer certains emplois et suscite de ce fait une inquiétude grandissante. Aux Etats-Unis, la mutation a déjà commencé. Dans le secteur du conseil, le géant Accenture a annoncé pas moins de 12 000 licenciements. L'ampleur de ce plan social est inédite dans ce domaine d'activité et traduit une certitude : l'adaptation à l'IA n'est plus une option. Un signal fort dans un secteur historiquement fondé sur le capital humain.Dans le secteur bancaire européen, ce sont de plus de 200 000 emplois qui pourraient être supprimés d'ici à 2030, selon une étude de la banque Morgan Stanley relayée par le Financial Times. Ces perspectives posent question quant à la façon dont le marché du travail va être façonné dans le futur. Malgré les craintes d'une menace pour l'emploi, des analyses soulignent que l'IA n'élimine pas les postes mais transforme les missions, en concentrant l'effort humain sur les tâches complexes et stratégiques. Si l'IA automatise déjà une grande partie des tâches répétitives, l'humain demeure en effet un atout dans de nombreux domaines, comme les relations commerciales.Les États-Unis, qui se déjà sont emparés de ce marché, cherchent à accroitre leur avance. Dans cette optique, le président Donald Trump a lancé il y a un an le projet Stargate. Chiffré à 500 milliards de dollars, il est destiné à bâtir les centres de données géants de la future génération d'IA. Le programme est élaboré par OpenAI, la firme qui a lancé ChatGPT, la société d'investissement japonaise SoftBank et le géant du numérique Oracle. Les poids lourds mondiaux du numérique comme Amazon, Microsoft ou encore Facebook devraient profiter des retombées. Pour l'heure, leur capitalisation boursière atteint des sommets... Et commence à préoccuper les investisseurs et les autorités financières. Ces derniers craignent qu'il s'agisse d'une bulle et que tout s'effondre comme un château de cartes.La rupture technologique introduite par l'IA a des répercussions dans le domaine militaire, ce qui constitue enjeu majeur. Quelles places occuperont par exemple les robots et les drones sur le champ de bataille ? La question se pose déjà. Le 1er mai 2024, la France a ainsi annoncé la création de l'Agence ministérielle de l'intelligence artificielle de défense (AMIAD), rattachée directement au ministre des Armées. Bertrand Rondepierre dirige cette structure pensée pour doter la défense française de capacités souveraines en IA. Une équipe de C dans l'air l'a rencontré.L'IA va-t-elle nous priver de dizaines, voire de centaines de milliers d'emplois dans un proche avenir ?Une bulle financière est-elle en train de se former dans le secteur de l'IA ?Comment l'IA va-t-elle modifier le visage des guerres à venir ?Nos experts :- Nicolas Bouzou - Économiste – Directeur fondateur du cabinet Astérès - Chroniqueur à L'Express- Emmanuel Duteil - Directeur de la rédaction – L'Usine Nouvelle- Isabelle Ryl - Vice-présidente Intelligence artificielle - Université Paris Sciences & Lettres (PSL)- Guillaume Grallet - Journaliste – Le Point - Auteur de « Voyage aux frontières de l'intelligence artificielle »

Open inquiry depends on the ability to ask uncomfortable questions and follow evidence wherever it leads. Eric Kaufmann argues that this norm is now under strain. Drawing on history, survey data, and political theory, Kaufmann outlines how certain identity categories came to be treated as morally sacred—and how that shift has reshaped debates about equality, free speech, and academic inquiry. The conversation examines the long roots of today's culture conflicts, the move from equal opportunity to equal outcomes, and why disagreement is increasingly interpreted as moral transgression rather than intellectual difference. At stake is what happens to liberal societies when some questions can no longer be asked, nd whether open inquiry can still be defended without abandoning concern for fairness and dignity Eric Kaufmann is a professor of politics and Director of the Centre for Heterodox Social Science at the University of Buckingham. He has written for The New York Times, Wall Street Journal, Times of London, Newsweek, National Review, New Statesman, Financial Times, and other outlets. His new book is The Third Awokening.
