On this  re-release episode of the Live Greatly podcast, Kristel Bauer sits down with organizational psychologist, Stanford professor, bestselling author, and leadership expert Robert Sutton to discuss how leaders can reduce unnecessary workplace friction, build stronger teams, improve organizational culture, and create environments where people can thrive. Drawing from his book The Friction Project, Robert shares insights on identifying "bad friction," making work more effective, receiving feedback with greater resilience, building self-awareness as a leader, and why his famous "No Asshole Rule" continues to be so relevant in today's workplace. Whether you're leading a team, managing organizational change, or looking to improve workplace performance, this conversation offers actionable insights to help you become a more intentional and effective leader. Tune in now! Key Takeaways From This Episode What workplace friction is—and how to recognize it How great leaders remove unnecessary barriers to success Lessons from The Friction Project The leadership principles behind the "No Asshole Rule" How to build greater self-awareness as a leader Why receiving honest feedback is essential for growth ABOUT ROBERT SUTTON: Robert I. Sutton is an organizational psychologist and professor of Management Science and Engineering in the Stanford Engineering School. He has given keynote speeches to more than 200 groups in 20 countries, and served on numerous scholarly editorial boards. Sutton's work has been featured in the New York Times, BusinessWeek, The Atlantic, Financial Times, Wall Street Journal, Vanity Fair, and Washington Post. He is a frequent guest on various television and radio programs, and has written eight books including The Friction Project, and two edited volumes, including the bestsellers The No Asshole Rule; Good Boss, Bad Boss; and Scaling Up Excellence. About the book THE FRICTION PROJECT: How Smart Leaders Make the Right Things Easier and the Wrong Things Harder (St. Martin's Press; January 30, 2024), bestselling authors and Stanford professors Robert I. Sutton and Hayagreeva "Huggy" Rao present a decade's worth of research on what ought to be easy and what ought to be hard in organizations, and how to change things for the better. Based on their research, case studies, and hundreds of engagements with top companies, the authors reveal just how widespread this affliction is, and provide a roadmap for readers to take up the mantle and blaze a path out of the muck. Sutton and Rao tease out the most common and destructive forms of friction, and share proven tactics, tools, and practices that can help us avert these traps and move forward. Ultimately, THE FRICTION PROJECT makes the case for a new philosophy that empowers us to build positive, productive, and humane organizations that make life better for their people and those they serve.

Dal 1° agosto Truth Social apre una corsia preferenziale: un'API che promette accesso “al millisecondo” ai post dei 10 account più influenti della piattaforma, a partire da Donald Trump. Prezzo riportato dal Financial Times: fino a 100.000 dollari al mese (circa 60.000 con contratto triennale). Il target è esplicito: banche, fondi, trading ad alta frequenza, media finanziari. Non si compra un segreto: si compra latenza.Tecnicamente non è insider trading nel senso classico, perché il contenuto è pubblico. Ma l'effetto è quello che conta: due classi di spettatori, chi vede prima e chi vede dopo, con algoritmi che reagiscono prima ancora che arrivi la notifica sul telefono. La velocità come merce esiste da anni nei mercati (feed diretti, colocation), ma qui la “fonte” non è un'infrastruttura regolata: è la voce del Presidente degli Stati Uniti, e la corsia preferenziale viene venduta dall'azienda legata a quella stessa voce.Il conflitto d'interessi è strutturale: Trump è l'autore dei post che muovono i mercati e risulta anche azionista di riferimento di Trump Media & Technology Group, che monetizza quell'anticipo. È la rutinizazione del carisma in formato API: volatilità trasformata in abbonamento, con il potere che torna a farsi pagare per l'accesso—solo che ora dura meno di un battito di ciglia.00:00 100k al mese per vedere prima01:03 Cos'è Truth API02:49 Quanto valgono i post03:45 Perché non è insider trading04:47 Il precedente Reuters 201305:24 Presidente, piattaforma, azioni07:52 Routinizzazione del carisma10:01 Due classi di mercato#TruthAPI #TruthSocial #DonaldTrump

Honderden miljarden dollars investeren in datacenters, taalmodellen of nieuwe AI-producten: het blijkt allemaal niet nodig om beleggers blij te krijgen. Meta, Alphabet, Amazon en Microsoft wisten niet hoeveel en hoe snel ze maar geld in hun producten moesten blijven pompen. Maar nu staat er één bedrijf ver boven hen. Apple vecht opeens weer om de titel van meest waardevolle beursbedrijf ter wereld. Een nek-aan-nek race met Nvidia. Wie wint 'm? En is dit het bewijs dat Apple het bij het rechte eind had en heeft? Dat hoor je in deze aflevering. Daarin hebben we het ook over nóg zo'n bedrijf dat volle bak in de investeringen is gevlogen. Meta bouwde als een gek datacenters om maar genoeg computerkracht voor hun modellen te hebben. En nu zitten ze met een overschot. De oplossing: het verhuren van die computerkracht. Ze zijn in onderhandeling met Anthropic om er 10 miljard dollar voor te krijgen. Verder hoor je over slechte cijfers van Ryanair. Laatst werd er nog bijna een passagier uit het raam gezogen, nu raken ze een paar beleggers definitief kwijt. Ondertussen loopt de topman van Boeing glimlachend over een beurs in het Verenigd Koninkrijk omdat hij de weg omhoog voor zijn bedrijf terug heeft gevonden. En we vertellen je over een persbureau, dat al over een beurswaarde van 1 biljoen dollar voor ASML droomt. Te gast: Arend Jan Kamp, van Stockwatch.nl en de podcast Het Beurscafé BNR Beurs is een journalistiek onafhankelijke productie, mede mogelijk gemaakt door Saxo. Over de makers: Jelle Maasbach is presentator van BNR Beurs en freelance financieel journalist. Zijn favoriete aandeel om over te praten is Disney, maar daar lijkt hij de enige in te zijn. Sinds de eerste uitzending van BNR Beurs is 'ie er bij. Maxim van Mil is presentator van BNR Beurs en journalist bij BNR, waar hij zich focust op de financiële markten en ontwikkelingen in de tech-wereld. Je krijgt hem het meest enthousiast als hij kan praten over ASML, of oer-Hollandse bedrijven zoals Ahold of ABN Amro. Jorik Simonides is presentator van BNR Beurs, economieredacteur en verslaggever bij BNR. Hij wordt er vooral blij van als het een keer níet over AI gaat. Je hoort hem ook in de BNR-podcast Moerdijk: dorp van de rekening. Milou Brand is presentator van BNR Beurs, freelance podcastmaker en columnist bij het Financieele Dagblad. Jochem Visser is presentator van BNR Beurs, maakt Beursnerd XL en is redacteur bij de podcast Onder Curatoren. Vraag hem naar obscure zaken op financiële markten en hij vertelt je waarom het eigenlijk nóg leuker is dan je al dacht. Over de podcast: Met BNR Beurs ga je altijd voorbereid de nieuwe beursdag in. We praten je in een kleine 25 minuten bij over alle laatste ontwikkelingen op de handelsvloer. We blijven niet alleen bij de AEX of Wall Street, maar vertellen je ook waar nog meer kansen liggen. En we houden het niet bij de cijfers, maar zoeken ook iedere dag voor je naar duiding van scherpe gasten en experts. Of je nu een ervaren belegger bent of net begint met je eerste stappen op de beurs, de podcast biedt waardevolle inzichten voor je beleggingsstrategie. Door de focus op zowel de korte termijn als de lange termijn, helpt BNR Beurs luisteraars om de ruis van de markt te scheiden van de essentie.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Ralph welcomes back his old running mate, Native American activist, Winona LaDuke, who has devoted her life to advocating for Indigenous control of their homelands, natural resources, and cultural practices to talk about her latest incarnation: hemp farmer. Then, we'll speak to Hal Weitzman, from the University of Chicago's Booth School of Business, about how Elon Musk's feud with Delaware may transform corporate America. Plus, we tick off Robert Reich's ten policy prescriptions the Democratic Party should fight for to beat the GOP in the upcoming midterms.Winona LaDuke is an activist, economist, and author, who has devoted her life to advocating for Indigenous control of their homelands, natural resources, and cultural practices. She is also a two-time vice-presidential candidate with Ralph Nader. Ms. LaDuke lives and works on the White Earth Ojibwe reservation in northern Minnesota, where she runs Winona's Hemp & Heritage Farm. She is also a member of the Indigenous Hemp & Cannabis Farmer's Cooperative.I'm looking first at seed sovereignty. We're growing [European hemp] varieties and then we're growing these feral hemp varieties. They're called feral varieties (which of course, that's something that I love) which means that when they eradicated hemp in the 1930s with the Marijuana Prohibition Act—well, they missed some spots. And those guys kept growing. And so 80 years of being illegal—isn't that great? Something that's illegal for 80 years is still with us, rocking out. And so I figure if you grew illegally for 80 years, you are really a tough hemp plant…And so we are growing out these hemp varieties and built a cooperative because we want to own the seeds and we want to own the technology (the value-added processing), and we want to use this hemp as a part of our future as tribes.Winona LaDukeMy grandsons are farming. I don't know who else can say their grandchildren are farming—let me know. My grandchildren are farming. They're running the horses. They're running the farms. You know, that's a retirement plan. My 401k will be worth nothing, but my grandchildren will feed me. This is my strategy.Winona LaDukeHal Weitzman is Executive Director for Intellectual Capital at the University of Chicago Booth School of Business, editor-in-chief of Chicago Booth Review, and host of The Chicago Booth Review podcast. A former Financial Times editor and foreign correspondent, he is the author of Latin Lessons: How South America Stopped Listening to the United States and Started Prospering and What's the Matter with Delaware?: How the First State Has Favored the Rich, Powerful, and Criminal—and How It Costs Us All.There is a race to the bottom. There's been a race to the bottom for many decades. That's not new. I think it's accelerated somewhat. Delaware has joined that race from having been something of a “premium product” in terms of incorporating companies—Delaware has become a bit more “cut-price” I would say, and in that sense has followed Texas and Nevada. So the conclusion that we have a race to the bottom and it may be worse than Delaware—actually I think Delaware's already there. So it's not that it's getting worse outside of Delaware, it's getting worse including Delaware.Hal WeitzmanThe trend I think we're seeing is the exclusion of small shareholders completely—regardless of the status of your shares, this is about how big you are. And if you're a small shareholder there is no corporate democracy for you… It was practice in the past for activist groups, campaigning groups, to buy one share of a company and then to go to the shareholder meeting so they could make the point that they wanted to make. Now that kind of shareholder democracy is being encroached on. And the extent now is to say: unless you have a large position (regardless of the size of the company and the cost of the shares), you will not be allowed to bring suits against the executives for the correct running of the company.Hal WeitzmanNews 7/17/26* Our top story this week is New York Governor Kathy Hochul's decision to impose a one-year “pause” on the construction of AI data centers across the state. ABC7 reports that this is the first such moratorium in the nation, despite similar attempts in several states, most notably Maine where Governor Janet Mills vetoed a bill to this effect. Hochul argues that the pause is necessary so lawmakers and regulators can formulate “Guardrails to reduce the risk to our energy grid, minimize land disruption, noise pollution, and protect our natural resources, especially our water supply.” Hochul's move comes amidst a broader push against AI data centers from the left. Semafor reports Senator Bernie Sanders proposed a nationwide ban in March and many progressives running for state and local office in the midterms have made this a cornerstone of their campaigns. According to this piece, “In February, polling from Marquette Law School found 70% of all Wisconsinites agreeing that ‘the costs of the data centers outweigh the benefits.' Among Democrats, the number was 85%.”* Another progressive Member of Congress quite literally stepped into another hot-button political issue this week. While visiting a Palestinian village in the occupied West Bank Wednesday, Al Jazeera reports armed settlers stopped the van of Representative Ro Khanna and were “later joined by Israeli soldiers who continued to block the road.” In a video, Khanna points out, settlers can be seen “brandishing M4s [rifles], kicking the tyres of our van, laughing at us, mocking at us, videotaping us.” This continued for over an hour and was only resolved when he reached out to the American Embassy, according to Khanna. Israel has responded to this fiasco by blaming Khanna, accusing the congressman of failing to coordinate his trip with the Israeli government; Khanna retorted that “The [Israeli military] is lying” and called for the arrest of the violent settlers. Conservative political commentator Tucker Carlson excoriated U.S. Ambassador to Israel Mike Huckabee, writing “An American member of congress is threatened by foreign terrorists carrying American rifles, backed by a foreign military paid for by American taxpayers, and the US ambassador to that country says not a word in defense of his own countryman…It's too much, too insulting and humiliating to America.”* Following his return from occupied Palestine, Khanna again teamed up with Republican Congressman Thomas Massie of Kentucky to sponsor an amendment to the National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) which would have removed the “United States-Israel Defense Technology Cooperation Initiative” from the must-pass legislation. Responsible Statecraft describes the initiative as “an unprecedented integration of the U.S. and Israeli military industrial complexes,” by creating “an executive agent within the Department of Defense whose sole responsibility is furthering U.S. and Israeli military tech integration across nearly every facet of the defense process.” This article also notes that “Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has described this shift in the U.S.-Israel relationship as ‘my plan.'” However, House leadership is not backing this commonsense, bipartisan amendment. In a letter, Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries said he would vote against the amendment, calling it “overly broad” and claiming the amendment would “restrict our country's ability to confront Hamas, Hezbollah and other terrorist organizations in the region who are sworn enemies of both the United States and Israel,” per the Times of Israel. However, Jeffries pledged not to whip votes against the amendment and indeed the House Minority Whip, Congresswoman Katherine Clark, voted for the amendment as did Speaker Emerita Nancy Pelosi, despite the opposition of Jeffries and House Democratic Caucus Chair Pete Aguilar. The Congressional Progressive Caucus reportedly whipped votes in favor of the amendment.* In more Israel-related news, this week Marco Rubio – who serves as Secretary of State as well as the acting National Security Advisor – announced that the State Department will launch a “sweeping campaign to dismantle…the International Criminal Court.” CNN observes that “The administration's ire against the ICC goes back to President Donald Trump's first term, when it targeted the ICC for seeking to investigate alleged war crimes committed by US forces in Afghanistan,” and that since taking office for the second time, the Trump administration has “imposed a slew of sanctions against ICC officials for their attempts to investigate the US and Israel.” CNN also quotes a State Department official who said that top officials, including Secretary Rubio and US ambassadors, “are calling countries as part of a campaign to diplomatically isolate the International Criminal Court.” It is worth noting that “all American presidents since the ICC's ratification have maintained that the ICC does not have jurisdiction over Americans,” and that Congress even passed a law calling for an invasion and occupation of the Hague if any American serviceman was ever prosecuted by the ICC, implying that this crackdown on the court is not about American sovereignty at all but rather the prosecution of Israeli officials for their war crimes in Gaza.* In another stunning story starring Marco Rubio, the New York Times reports the Secretary of State is functionally “running Venezuela from afar.” The Times story characterizes Rubio's position as the “de facto viceroy of Venezuela,” effectively controlling the country's “finances, the distribution of its natural resources and its government.” This story makes clear that while Delcy Rodríguez, the former Vice President of Venezuela under Nicolás Maduro, nominally occupies the presidency, Rubio is the one really calling the shots, with Rubio setting the conditions on what Venezuela's export revenue “can be spent on, and by whom,” and having the authority to approve or deny key governmental appointments in the country, such as the minister of defense. In short, the United States has established a shocking explicitly neo-colonial regime in the country, fulfilling the gravest prognostications of anti-imperialist critics of American intervention in the Bolivarian Republic.* Closer to home, Bloomberg reports the federal government has officially launched a grand jury investigation into the United Auto Workers and the union's outspoken president, Shawn Fain. The investigation stems from accusations made by the union's Vice President, Rich Boyer, who alleged that Fain used his position to secure benefits for his fiancée and her sister – and when Boyer refused to approve the benefits, Fain retaliated by stripping Boyer of his duties as chief negotiator with Stellantis NV. Fain has called the allegations “false” and is accusing Boyer of seeking to influence the upcoming UAW leadership election. Fain also claims that Boyer is the one retaliating after Fain “refused the vice president's request to hire family members to positions in the union.” Fain has long maintained that the Justice Department, and specifically the DOJ-appointed monitor, Neil Barofsky, has a political grudge against him because “the UAW took an anti-war stance about what was happening in Gaza.” According to Bloomberg, “Both Fain and Boyer have slates running and each is accusing the other of attempting to abuse their positions to benefit family.”* This week, another victim of harassment by the federal government, student activist Mahmoud Khalil, filed a landmark civil rights suit alleging that the government conspired with a number of private groups – including the Heritage Foundation, Betar, and Canary Mission – to “suppress criticism of Israel through a coordinated campaign to dox, jail and ultimately deport student activists.” According to the lawsuit, said activists were “nearly automatically targeted by the Federal Defendants for arrest and removal.” Khalil's lawyers argue that this “public-private partnership” could violate the “Ku Klux Klan Act, a Reconstruction-era law that sought to restrict government coordination with vigilante groups.” The suit is led by the Center for Constitutional Rights. The AP reports “Soon after his arrest, both Canary Mission and Betar boasted of their role in flagging Khalil's noncitizen status to the government.” Since Khalil's arrest, Betar has agreed to “dissolve its nonprofit status,” following a lawsuit filed by New York Attorney General Letitia James accusing Betar's members of harassing Palestinians.* Turning to the state level, this week 12 state attorneys general, led by California's Rob Bonta, filed an antitrust lawsuit seeking to block the acquisition of Warner Bros. Discovery by Paramount Skydance, controlled by the Trump-aligned David Ellison. The proposed, $110 billion merger was approved by the Antitrust Division of the Justice Department last month, which reached the dubious conclusion that the merger is “not likely to result in harm to competition or American consumers.” In the filing, Bonta and the state AGs for Arizona, Colorado, Connecticut, Massachusetts, Minnesota, Nevada, New Jersey, New Mexico, New York, Oregon, and Washington allege that the merger “would extinguish competition between Paramount and Warner Bros. and inflict substantial harm on movie theatres, basic cable distributors, and, ultimately, audiences nationwide.” This from Reason.* In the world of philanthropy, CNBC reports Warren Buffett, the billionaire chairman of Berkshire Hathaway, has “excluded the Gates Foundation from his sizable annual charitable donations.” As this report notes, the Gates Foundation has been among the top recipients of his annual Berkshire donations, totaling $47 billion worth of Berkshire stock since 2006. The reason for the exclusion of the Gates Foundation has been much speculated upon, in particular, whether it was due to the recent revelations about Gates' relationship with Jeffrey Epstein. Asked about this, Buffett said that he had “read a great deal…in terms of what happened, with Bill and Epstein,” calling their relationship “distasteful,” but also saying that he “found nothing in there that was beyond what [he] could picture [himself] doing.” Instead of the Gates Foundation, all of this year's donations will go to foundations linked to the Buffett family.* Finally, British multinational diamond conglomerate De Beers, famous for coining the “A Diamond is Forever” tagline in 1947, reported this week that they plan to halt work at their “flagship” Venetia mine in South Africa as demand for the stones wanes. The BBC highlights both slackening consumer demand as well as competition from lab-grown diamonds, particularly those produced in China. That said, the closing of the Venetia mine – the biggest in South Africa, accounting for over 40% of the country's diamond production – will send shockwaves through that country's already shaky economy. That mine alone employs more than 4,000 people, while the mining sector employs nearly half a million. De Beers said they plan to reopen the mine in two years; in the meantime, they are looking to expand copper mining to keep up with demand from AI data centers.This has been Francesco DeSantis, with In Case You Haven't Heard.

Episode Summary Trust is the foundation of every customer relationship. But here's the uncomfortable truth: most businesses assume they have it when they don't. PwC's latest research found that 90% of executives believe their customers trust them highly — yet only 30% of customers actually do. That's a 60-point gap. And it's growing. In this episode, Colin Shaw and Professor Ryan Hamilton from Emory University break down the five rules that are guaranteed to build genuine, lasting trust with your customers. These aren't theoretical — they're drawn from decades of real CX work, rooted in behavioural economics, and illustrated with the kinds of real-world examples that make you realise how often companies (and people) get this wrong. What You'll Hear in This Episode: Why trust is earned, not given — and why that changes everything about how you approach customer relationships The authenticity trap: why trying to appear authentic is worse than not trying at all Why you should always tell customers the bad news early — and why hiding it always costs you more in the end The Fiverr story: how a supplier destroyed trust before they'd even started the job Why consistency and reliability are not soft values — they're heuristic signals that your customers use to judge whether they can trust you for the things that really matter How the "emotional bank account" works — and why you need to be in credit before something goes wrong Quote of the Episode: "The danger is people will be too strategic about authenticity. The point is not to act like you're authentic. The point is actually to be authentic." — Professor Ryan Hamilton, Emory University Resources Mentioned: Connect with Colin Shaw on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/colinrjshaw/ Connect with Professor Ryan Hamilton on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/prof-ryan-hamilton/ Beyond Philosophy website: https://beyondphilosophy.com PwC Trust in Business Survey: https://www.pwc.com/us/en/library/trust-in-business-survey.html About the Hosts:  Colin Shaw is a LinkedIn 'Top Voice' with a massive 286,000 followers and 87,000 subscribers to his 'Why Customers Buy' newsletter.

Stijn Schmitz welcomes Rory Johnston to the show. Rory Johnston is a Commodity Market Research Specializing in Oil and Gas. Johnston describes an unprecedented period of volatility in oil markets, where the supply-demand balance swung radically within a single month. Following a ceasefire in the Strait of Hormuz, a surge of previously stranded tankers created a temporary mini-glut, flipping market structures from severe backwardation into contango. However, this glut proved fleeting as inbound empty tankers, initially driven by the most risk-tolerant owners, have dried up, leaving Gulf loadings constrained by available shipping capacity. Consequently, supply is tightening aggressively again. The most significant factor absorbing the supply shock is China, which swung its crude imports down by five million barrels per day without clear economic damage domestically. Johnston explores speculative explanations, including massive refined product stock releases, a coal-to-petrochemical feedstock switch, or a geopolitical understanding with the US. He also suggests China may be using the crisis as a successful dry run for weathering a potential blockade in a Taiwan conflict scenario. This swing, totaling roughly half a billion barrels, dwarfs the collective releases from IEA member states. Beyond crude, the refined products market, particularly diesel, is critically tight. Diesel crack spreads have soared to staggering levels, driven by drone attacks damaging Russian refineries, prior damage in the Middle East, and China slashing product exports. Johnston clarifies that strategic petroleum reserves function as a supply boost, not passive inventory, and that operational tank minimums at hubs like Cushing primarily affect regional price differentials to discourage exports, not trigger infinite crude spikes. He concludes that the overriding vulnerability is refining capacity, which is easy to target and hard to defend, making North American facilities a potentially valuable geopolitical safe haven in the current drone warfare era.

There is speculation today that the Home Secretary Shabana Mahmood will become Chancellor when the incoming Prime Minister Andy Burnham announces his Cabinet on Monday. Whoever takes on the role will face quite the in-tray: high debt, low growth, welfare reform, defence spending, and the economic fallout from the US-Israel war with Iran, to name a few issues. So, if it's Shabana Mahmood, how might she fare and what do we know about her? Anita Rani speaks to Lucy Fisher, Whitehall Editor of the Financial Times and Host of the FT's Political Fix podcast.Australian surf and fashion photographer Cait Miers says that on shoots women often criticise and apologise for their looks before a single photo is taken. She is now photographing 1,000 women globally, bare-faced, for a project she has called Laugh Lines. Anita is joined by Cait to talk about her mission to challenge beauty standards and also by Alexis Zahner, author of Real: Reconnecting to Yourself in a World of Likes and Lies, and one of the first women to be photographed for the project.Dr Suzanne Huurman is the only woman to head a country's medical staff in the men's 2026 FIFA World Cup, meaning there is just one woman and 47 men in the lead role for the teams taking part this year. Anita talks to Suzanne about being a trailblazer, how she - as head of medical staff for Curacao's national men's side - got to become only the third-ever female team doctor in the 96-year history of the tournament and what she thinks could be done to increase female representation in football.The Young British Artists, YBA movement of the 1990s is the inspiration for a new novel, Exhibition, by Alex Hyde. The protagonist, Rabble, an aspiring photographer, finds herself in the YBA scene after meeting an artist always referred to in the novel as “you”. Anita talks to Alex about how, through Rabble, her novel explores the inspiration and process of creating art - and the question of ownership, referencing real works.Presenter: Anita Rani Producer: Rebecca Myatt

In de Amerikaanse staat Californië wordt mogelijk een referendum gehouden over de vraag of er een aparte miljardairsbelasting ingevoerd moet worden. Deze staat huisvest veel grote techbedrijven, volgens de Financial Times zijn er genoeg handtekeningen verzameld om een referendum te houden. Het gaat om een eenmalige heffing van 5 procent voor de rijkste inwoners van Californië. Een slecht plan, denkt macro-econoom Arnoud Boot. ‘Dit is populisme.’ Het gaat om een eenmalige belasting voor inwoners van Californië met een nettovermogen van meer dan één miljard dollar. Gehuwde stellen tellen als één belastingplichtige. De stemming over de wet vindt gelijktijdig plaats met de tussentijdse verkiezingen in de Verenigde Staten, de midterms. Wat is hier populistisch aan? De vermogensongelijkheid in de Verenigde Staten heeft onacceptabele proporties aangenomen. Vanuit die gedachte is dit initiatief ontstaan. Maar als je mij vraagt of dit de juiste manier is om dat probleem aan te pakken, dan is mijn antwoord: absoluut niet. Het belastingstelsel is niet bedoeld voor willekeurige ingrepen. Het moet zo worden ingericht dat iedereen een eerlijk deel aan belastingen betaalt. Dat kun je niet achteraf met een eenmalige maatregel proberen te corrigeren. Volgens Forbes steeg het gezamenlijke vermogen van miljardairs in Californië van ongeveer 700 miljard dollar in 2009 naar 2,1 biljoen dollar eind vorig jaar. Zij gaan die 5 procent extra belasting niet merken. Maar het gaat niet om de vraag of deze mensen te veel vermogen hebben, dat is wel duidelijk. Het fundamentele probleem zit volgens critici echter in het belastingstelsel. Maar dat geld gaat dan naar verbetering van de gezondheidszorg, dat is toch goed? Dat is zeker goed. Ik ben ook geen verdediger van de enorme vermogens die sommige mensen hebben; die zijn moeilijk te bevatten. Maar je kunt niet elke belastingmaatregel koppelen aan een specifiek goed doel. De overheid heeft democratisch vastgestelde verantwoordelijkheden, waaronder het innen van belastingen via een evenwichtig belastingstelsel. Het argument dat een belastingverhoging gerechtvaardigd is omdat de opbrengst naar een goed doel gaat, is in feite een populistisch argument. We hebben een evenwichtig belastingsysteem nodig, wat niet gedreven wordt door populisten en populisme. Het belastingsysteem moet dus hervormd worden? Het verleden kun je niet veranderen. Dat sommige mensen extreem rijk zijn geworden, daar kun je nu weinig meer aan doen. Die ambitie moet je ook niet hebben. Maar de belastingdruk in de Verenigde Staten is ongelijk verdeeld. Zeer vermogende mensen kunnen hun inkomen en vermogen vaak goed afschermen van belastingen, er is nauwelijks sprake van een belasting op grote erfenissen, waardoor vermogen generaties lang kan worden doorgegeven. Zo creëer je een samenleving met een steeds grotere kloof tussen arm en rijk, en dat is uiteindelijk onhoudbaar. Met een populistische, eenmalige vermogensheffing kun je misschien tijdelijk de onvrede onder de bevolking verminderen, maar daarmee los je het onderliggende probleem niet op. Het belastingstelsel moet fundamenteel worden hervormd en evenwichtiger worden gemaakt. Een eenmalige vermogensbelasting is willekeurig. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

On June 10, the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York returned two pieces of artwork to Cambodia: an Angkor statue and a sandstone lintel. It's the latest repatriation effort by the U.S.'s premier art museum, and the third time the Met has had to give up Cambodian artifacts specifically. Matthew Campbell's The Man Who Stole The Gods: A True Story of War, Obsession, and a Global Art Conspiracy (Penguin, 2026) dives into the story of the Cambodian antiquities trade, from looted temples in the Cambodian forests, through dealers in Bangkok like Douglas Latchford, and then into museums and billionaire homes in the West. And he also digs into how this trade fell apart: How the U.S. Department of Justice and activists in Cambodia pressured dealers and museums like the Met to give this art back. Matthew is an award-winning reporter for Bloomberg Businessweek.

As so many large firms went all-in on AI over the past few years, policies to maximize employee AI adoption ranged from incentives to threats. Now, the Financial Times reports many companies are instead emphasizing quality over quantity, faced with both employee backlash and the rising costs of AI tokens. Calling AI leaderboards and policies tying performance reviews to AI usage "a really stupid way to do anything," a legal AI firm's CTO says staff should be rewarded "for being effective and efficient ... not for necessarily using AI.”

Fourteen million people displaced. Two out of every five people facing hunger. The largest humanitarian catastrophe on Earth — and barely a headline.In this episode, Dr. Crystallee Crain turns toward the war the world keeps looking away from: the civil war in Sudan, now grinding through its fourth year. True to form, she starts at the roots, not the wreckage — tracing the conflict from colonial rule and the Darfur genocide, through the stolen revolution of 2019, to the two generals now tearing the country in half. She walks through where the war stands in the summer of 2026: the massacre at El Fasher, the siege of El Obeid, the drone war killing civilians by the hundreds, and the famine being used as a weapon. Then she follows the money — the gold, the arms, and the foreign powers profiting while humanitarian appeals go unfunded — and closes with what prevention, accountability, and everyday solidarity actually look like from where we sit.Content note: This episode includes descriptions of violence, famine, and sexual violence.

Face à la flambée des prix de la mémoire, Apple cherche de nouvelles marges de manœuvre. Selon le Financial Times, le groupe a commencé à tester les puces DRAM du fabricant chinois ChangXin Memory Technologies, plus connu sous le nom de CXMT. La DRAM est une mémoire vive utilisée dans les smartphones, les ordinateurs et de nombreux appareils électroniques. Apple ne se contente donc plus de discuter avec le fournisseur chinois : l'entreprise aurait engagé une véritable phase de qualification technique. Ces essais doivent déterminer si les composants de CXMT répondent à ses exigences de performance, de fiabilité et de production à grande échelle.Cette évaluation ne signifie pas qu'un contrat a déjà été signé. Elle permet néanmoins à Apple de préparer une solution de remplacement. En cas de pénurie ou de nouvelle hausse des prix, le groupe pourrait mobiliser plus rapidement ce fournisseur, sans devoir reprendre l'ensemble des tests depuis le début. CXMT occupe désormais une place importante sur le marché mondial. L'année dernière, l'entreprise représentait environ 11 % des capacités de production de wafers DRAM, ces grandes plaques de silicium sur lesquelles sont fabriquées les puces. Elle se classait derrière Samsung, SK Hynix et Micron. Sa part pourrait atteindre 15 % d'ici 2028 grâce à de nouvelles usines à Hefei, Shanghai et Pékin.Pour Apple, diversifier ses sources devient d'autant plus stratégique que les prix contractuels de la DRAM standard auraient progressé de 55 à 60 % au début de 2026. Les serveurs dédiés à l'intelligence artificielle absorbent une part croissante des capacités autrefois réservées à l'électronique grand public. Mais le dossier est aussi géopolitique. CXMT figure sur une liste du Pentagone recensant des entreprises soupçonnées de liens avec l'armée chinoise. Cette inscription n'interdit pas aux groupes américains d'acheter ses puces, contrairement au régime plus contraignant appliqué à YMTC, autre fabricant chinois placé sur l'Entity List du département du Commerce.Apple chercherait donc à éviter que CXMT subisse le même sort. Tim Cook aurait défendu auprès de l'administration américaine l'idée d'utiliser ces mémoires uniquement dans les appareils vendus en Chine. Cela permettrait de réserver davantage de composants Samsung, SK Hynix et Micron aux autres marchés. La stratégie rappelle une tentative menée en 2022 avec YMTC, finalement abandonnée sous la pression politique. Cette fois encore, aucun accord n'est garanti. Hébergé par Acast.

Donald Trump's on again off again deal making with the Iranians has hit another flashpoint this week as exchanges of fire on commercial shipping and US military bases in the region stymied negotiations before their 60 day deadline. Although large-scale combat has subsided, the conflict between the United States and Iran is far from over. Nick Carl argues that Tehran has emerged from the war with a new strategic objective: establishing de facto control over the Strait of Hormuz and using it as a tool of coercion against the international community after its traditional sources of deterrence fell short. He also examines the regime's evolving leadership following Ali Khamenei's death, the continued discontent between Iran's rulers and its people, and why Tehran believes it can outlast the United States politically despite suffering major military setbacks. While conventional wisdom suggests Iranian weakness (as discussed in our many conversations with General Jack Keane), Tehran is nonetheless negotiating from a position of confidence. Will the United States remain committed to denying Iran control of the Strait? Can diplomacy succeed without rewarding Iranian aggression? And ultimately, who has the greater will to persist? Will President Trump accept a bad agreement or abandon his deal making desires in pursuit of a more decisive outcome?Nicholas Carl is the Assistant Director for the Critical Threats Project and a Fellow at the American Enterprise Institute, where he specializes in the Islamic Republic of Iran. Mr. Carl is the author of reports, analyses, and maps covering Iran's regional strategy and nuclear program, military structure, and politics. His commentary and maps have been featured in a variety of media outlets, including The New York Times, The Washington Post, The Wall Street Journal, and Financial Times.Read the transcript here.Subscribe to our Substack here.

The Financial Times reports that Wall Street is earning larger fees from SpaceX's initial public offering and renewed mega-merger activity. IPO underwriting fees typically range from three to seven percent of proceeds, with greenshoe options and lockups shaping liquidity. Advisory fees on transactions above $10 billion can reach into the high tens or hundreds of millions of dollars. Recent examples of large announced deals include ExxonMobil's move for Pioneer Natural Resources and Chevron's agreement to acquire Hess. A stronger fee environment draws resources to exchanges, law firms, auditors, and secondary platforms. Founders and CFOs face choices among IPOs, direct listings, spin-offs, and sales as they prepare for shifting market conditions.Learn more on this news by visiting us at: https://greyjournal.net/news/ Hosted on Acast.

Netflix maakt zich zorgen over zijn eigen klanten. Ze kijken minder lang en ook minder vaak naar series en films. Er worden (op dit moment) niet veel abonnementen opgezegd, maar toch is Netflix gewaarschuwd. Want: minder kijktijd kan leiden tot minder advertentie-inkomsten en er is een kans de mensen alsnog hun abonnement opzeggen. Daarom heeft Netflix een aantal maatregelen verzonnen. Waaronder een hele opvallende: de streamer wil veranderen in een 24uurs zender. Waardoor de hippe streamingdienst ineens een ouderwetse televisiezender wordt. Deze aflevering kijken we of die stap Netflix écht aan nieuwe abonnees helpt. Ook hoe ze weer een hit van hun aandeel maken. Dat is namelijk in een jaar met 40 procent gedaald! Hebben we het ook over Easyjet. De overname door private equity-partij Castlelake was zo goed als rond. En toen vloog opeens Apollo voorbij. Die overbieden hun concullega's met een paar honderd miljoen en EasyJet zou dat wel zien zitten. Beleggers ook: het aandeel schiet omhoog. Verder hebben we het over de Fed, over de missie van Kevin Warsh. Hij zet meerdere werkgroepen aan het werk die de toekomst van de Fed moeten onderzoeken. Een van die mensen is de oud-topman van Walmart. Ook in deze aflevering: Polymarket is belangrijk voor het rentebesluit SK Hynix is nu ook een beetje Amerikaans Komt er dan toch geen massaontslag bij Volkswagen?

HSBC just did something that should make everyone in credit markets stop and ask one very uncomfortable question. If there is nothing to worry about with private credit…why is one of world's biggest banks pulling back from funding the funds that make it work? According to reporting from the Financial Times, HSBC has told some private credit borrowers that it will not renew their credit facilities. It is also refusing to provide “back leverage” to riskier funds. In plain English, HSBC is pulling back bigtime.Eurodollar University's Money & Macro Analysis----------------------------------------------------------------------------------What if your gold could actually pay you every month… in MORE gold?That's exactly what Monetary Metals does.

Oil market expert Rory Johnston provides a comprehensive analysis of the current global energy landscape and recent supply disruptions. He examines the Strait of Hormuz crisis, the impact of Ukrainian drone strikes on Russian refineries, and the surprising resilience of the market due to China’s massive reduction in crude imports. The discussion explores potential geopolitical shifts, such as the UAE's departure from OPEC and Iran's attempts to control vital shipping lanes. Ultimately, Johnston highlights a transition toward a more interventionist era where nations must prioritize energy sovereignty and infrastructure diversification to survive future shocks.

Unilever ziet een van zijn grote aandeelhouders weglopen. Een die al meer dan 15 jaar trouw was aan het bedrijf. Het gaat om fondsbeheerder Terry Smith. Die hard uithaalt naar de directie. Tegen de Financial Times zegt hij misleid te zijn door de directie. Unilever beloofde hem (net na de afsplitsing van de ijstak in 2025) geen grote onderdelen meer te verkopen. Maar ze deden het toch. De voedingstak ging eruit. Volgens Smith neemt niet de directie de grote beslissingen, maar activistische aandeelhouder Nelson Peltz. Hij zou achter de schermen de touwtjes in handen hebben. Deze aflevering kijken we wat dat voor jou als beleggers betekent. Is het nu een voordeel of toch een nadeel? Gaat het ook weer over het bezoek van handelsminister Sjoerd Sjoerdsma aan China. Hij was zelf optimistisch over zijn bezoek, maar daar denkt zijn Chinese college toch anders over. Hij zet Sjoerdsma gelijk aan het werk. Het is ook de aflevering waarin we het meerdere keren over Apple hebben. Het gaat over een Chinese chip die ze in China aan het testen zijn. In eigen land pleasen ze ondertussen het Witte Huis met een andere deal.

This week on the Andrew Yang Podcast, Andrew is joined by Brendan Greeley, Financial Times contributing editor and author of the new book "The Almighty Dollar: 500 Years of the World's Most Powerful Money." They dig into the surprising history of the dollar, which predates the United States itself, why local currencies could matter more than ever in the AI era, how bank failures shaped the money we use today, and why the dollar's dominance has less to do with American governance than you'd think.Have a question for Andrew?

Next, is AI a bubble? Fareed speaks with Larry Fink, CEO of BlackRock, about whether tech companies are overvalued, how to power the AI revolution, and how to close the stark wealth gap in America. Finally, the US and Israel's war with Iran has fundamentally changed the Middle East. Fareed sits down with Carnegie Endowment senior fellow Karin Sadjadpour, Financial Times contributing editor Kim Ghattas and CEO of the Foundation for Defense of Democracies Mark Dubowitz to break down shifting regional dynamics.

After more than a decade of companies pouring money, technology, and consultants into customer experience, US customer satisfaction sits almost exactly where it did in 2013. Flat. Now AI arrives as the promised cavalry — and leaders are racing to bolt it onto everything before they understand what they're actually trying to fix. In this episode, Colin and Ryan separate the smart play from the slow-motion mistake. "AI-first" is sound management: if AI delivers a better, faster, or cheaper experience than a human, use it. But "AI-only" — AI sprinkled over everything like fairy dust because leaders are terrified of being left behind — is where companies quietly automate themselves into a commodity and erode the one thing they can't easily win back: trust. Using the now-infamous "microwave test" (brilliant for the peas, a disaster for the steak), Colin and Ryan dig into why so much CX investment has produced so little, and why the companies that win the next decade won't be the ones that adopted AI fastest — but the ones who knew exactly what they wanted it to do. What You'll Learn Why is a tool used without a strategy just an expensive way to make a bad experience happen faster The critical difference between "AI-first" (smart) and "AI-only" (reckless) — and how to tell which one you're actually doing The one question almost no organization can answer — and why you can't deploy AI well until you can How over-reliance on AI quietly costs you on two fronts: differentiation (the same prediction machine is available to every competitor) and trust (the moment customers feel they have to double-check you, you've lost) A simple, strategy-first decision framework for where AI lifts the experience and where a human still wins Featured Insight The companies that win the next decade won't be the ones that adopted AI fastest. They'll be the ones who knew exactly what they wanted it to do — and never lost sight of the most important thing: the customer's experience.

What does trade set in motion beyond the exchange of goods? Anne McElvoy explores the movement of commerce across time as a carrier of habits, ideas, ambitions and influence, as well as of material things. From the early modern world, where trade was entangled with colonial expansion and shaped by unequal, sometimes unexpected encounters, to the supply chains and diplomatic negotiations of the present, this discussion asks how economic exchange has also mediated cultural contact. Alongside rivalry and wealth, how has trade given rise to its own languages of civility, reciprocity and trust?Guests include:Nandini Das is Professor of Early Modern Literature and Culture at Oxford University and author of This Little World: A New History of Tudor and Stuart EnglandJeremy Hunt is a former Chancellor of the Exchequer and the author of Can We Be Rich Again?Soumaya Keynes is an economist and columnist at the Financial Times and the author of How to Win a Trade WarProfessor Rana Mitter is ST Lee Chair in US-Asia Relations at the Harvard Kennedy SchoolDr Lauren Working is a Lecturer in Early Modern Literature at York University and author of A Golden World: How the Americas Transformed Renaissance EnglandProducer: Ruth Watts

Ten days earlier, Leo has just had a one-night stand with a man. The man steals his laptop, and Leo runs outside to chase him, but fails and also locks himself out of his house dressed only in pants and a t-shirt. This forces him to knock on his neighbour Clive's door, where he asks if he can call his best friend, Stephanie, who has a spare key. Clive agrees, but later suggests that Leo give him a key for emergencies, and Leo hires him to help at his bar. One of Leo's employees, Zee, has been sleeping at the bar since her home has become unsafe since coming out as transgender, so Leo and the other employees help her pack and move. Leo and his friend Melba discuss the situation, with Melba frustrated at Leo's denial of the danger their community is in, in the present day. Leo discovers George, Clive's teenage son, on his dating app. 2 "Episode 2" Peter Hoar Russell T Davies 1 June 2026[a] TBD In a flashforward, George watches silently from his room as Leo is hanged outside.

Leo threatens to call the police, which Stephanie encourages, but Leo ultimately chooses not to out of fear for his safety. George runs away, but Saul finds him and convinces him to return home. Marie is worried George will be charged with burglary, whilst Clive accuses Leo of being a predator.

Two days earlier, Leo calls the police on Clive, but tells them it was a mistake after Clive threatens to frame him for paedophilia. Clive and George attempt to have a conversation, which devolves into an argument as Clive accuses Leo of infecting George, and ends up leaving in a rage. Stephanie begs Leo to move, but he believes it will all calm down soon. Saul becomes worried about his dad after realising he has found his account. Zee contacts George and he helps her choose her new name, and the pair go to the Northern Quarter together. Clive goes to Leo's bar and ends up helping them when a man assaults a customer. Leo admits that he has been HIV positive for thirty-two years, but Clive dismisses HIV as fake. In a conversation with Stephanie, Leo expresses concern about Clive. 5 "Episode 5" Peter Hoar Russell T Davies 9 June 2026[b] TBD Leo and Stephanie argue about the best way to help George, with Stephanie believing Marie would be supportive. Saul sees the photo of George wearing makeup and partying with Zee and her friends, he expresses support but warns George about his friends possible reactions. The Gosses host a football livestream during which George is violently hazed. Zee is unable to delete the photo, and goes to George's house, but he rejects her help. Clive sees Zee, and Leo agrees to help her by talking to Clive. The confrontation soon devolves into violence, with the Gosses' friends exposing both Saul's account and George's photos to their parents. Upon seeing Zee with George, Clive attacks Leo and accuses him of taking advantage of George. George refutes this, stating Leo has HIV. After the video of Clive helping Leo during the fight is exposed, Clive whips the crowd into a frenzy and take Leo outside to hang him. Saul desperately attempts to prevent them, but is unsuccessful. Ultimately, Clive and his accomplices are arrested for murder, George becomes a drug-addict, Saul gets married and lives happily, Zee chooses the name Sarah and becomes a teacher, and the bar is turned into a pizzeria. Two years prior, Stephanie and Leo discuss his divorce, and the effects that coming out has had on their lives. Leo expresses a belief that something big will happen.

Day 1,585.After a weekend that saw Ukraine's Constitution Day celebrated with yet more lengthy queues at petrol stations in Russia and Crimea – a situation not helped by Russian oil refineries continuing to self-sanction – Putin shrugs that these ‘difficult' days are just a speed bump on the road to inevitable victory. Dom and Francis ponder on Alexander Lukashenko's slightly odd weekend jaunt to China via Putin's lakeside retreat in Valdai – at least we now know what all the extra air defence was shipped in for – and ask, is he looking for a new best friend? And finally, after news of a mass shooting in the northern German city of Stade, they speak to Berlin correspondent James Rothwell who has been reporting on NATO preparations for a possible future Battle of the Baltics.Contributors:Francis Dearnley (Host on Ukraine: The Latest). @FrancisDearnley on X.Dominic Nicholls (Host on Ukraine: The Latest). @DomNicholls on X.James Rothwell (Berlin Correspondent). @JamesERothwell on X.Producer: Rachel PorterSenior Producer: Lilian FawcettVideo Producer: Sophie O'SullivanSocial Producer: Gabby ColvinStudio Director: Meghan SearleExecutive Editor: Francis DearnleyCreated by David KnowlesNOW IN FULL VIDEO WITH MAPS & BATTLEFIELD FOOTAGE:Every episode is now available on our YouTube channel shortly after the release of the audio version.
