This week, the value of the American dollar continued to decline. The plunge has been attributed to market volatility over President Donald Trump's on-again, off-again tariffs. But there are some on Trump's economic team who have floated wanting to weaken the dollar intentionally. FT economics columnist Gillian Tett and Unhedged host Katie Martin join to discuss why the chaos that's keeping investors worried may be a feature, not a bug.Mentioned in this podcast:Unhedged PodcastWhat a Mar-a-Lago accord could look likeSign up for the FT's Swamp Notes newsletter hereSwamp Notes is produced by Katya Kumkova.

It's hard to understand the economic logic of President Trump's tariffs. In our last episode, we tried, but with limited success. And that might be because the logic here isn't entirely economic at all.So we wanted to spend an episode looking at Trump's economic policies through a wider lens.Gillian Tett is a columnist at The Financial Times and a member of its editorial board. She's also a trained anthropologist with a Ph.D. And she brings both perspectives into this conversation — exploring Trump's policies as economics, as well as power politics, patronage and cultural messaging — which I think makes the whole thing make a bit more sense.Mentioned:“A User's Guide to Restructuring the Global Trading System” by Stephen MiranBook Recommendations:National Power and the Structure of Foreign Trade by Albert HirschmanThe Economic Consequences of the Peace by John Maynard KeynesDebt by David GraeberHow to Think Like an Anthropologist by Matthew EngelkeThoughts?

Today on the podcast we bring you a conversation with Toni Petersson, former CEO of Oatly. This was recorded live at our Giant Ideas summit in June of this year.Toni Petersson was the CEO of oat milk giant, Oatly, for a decade. He transformed an unknown Swedish eco food company into a global consumer giant, with just shy of $1BN in sales. On its first day on the NASDAQ in 2021 it traded at $13 billion valuation. Toni famously used quirky marketing to consumers to build one of the most loved green brands of all time. Building the brand came with bold decisions. For one, he was the star of what has been described as both the worst and the best Superbowl commercial of all time. He was filmed in a field of oats singing a painfully catchy song about oat milk. So how did Tony turn a sleepy Swedish innovation - creating milk from oats - into a must-have climate product? And how did he make oat sludge aspirational? In this conversation with Financial Times columnist Gillian Tett, we cover why he thinks purpose matters, and how to move climate products from the fringe to the aspirational. Enjoy! Hosted on Acast.

After 14 years of Conservative rule, Britain voted on Thursday for change. But what should the world expect from a Labour government? 2024 is the year of democracy. More people than ever in history will go to the polls - 2 billion in over 60 countries. But it's also a year of rising nationalism. With Europe at war, Trump possibly returning and Labour winning by a landslide, today we bring you an exclusive conversation with former British Foreign Secretary David Miliband. Miliband was one of the key architects of Tony Blair's New Labour. Now as the CEO of the International Rescue Committee in New York, he has a unique perspective on global affairs across 50 countries.

To understand what a Labour government will look like, with some predictions for geopolitics and the US election, David joined the FT's Gillian Tett. This was recorded in mid June, before the UK election result and Biden's debate debacle... a week is a long time in politics. Enjoy! Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

She joins Michael Rosen to discuss how the study of language has been vital to her work, who continues to see the world through the lens of an anthropologist.

Is China's ascendance to world leadership an unstoppable force or a challenge we can overcome? Axios reporter Bethany Allen-Ebrahimian's recent book, Beijing Rules: How China Weaponized Its Economy to Confront the World, looks to help answer that question. For several decades Chinese ascendancy has been supported by an astonishingly broad and deep portfolio of quiet coercion. The stories are breathtaking – Chinese-sponsored reporting in national newspapers and academia; the gagging of sports stars and huge Western brands; Hollywood self-censorship; utilisation of private companies for surveillance. Joining Allen-Ebrahimian in conversation is Intelligence Squared's Conor Boyle.  If you'd like to hear the extended version of this conversation while supporting Intelligence Squared's mission to foster honest debate and compelling conversations, as well as being able to enjoy exclusive bonus content, early access and much more, become a supporter of Intelligence Squared.

War & The Hidden Power of ESG - Natalie Jaresko, fmr Finance Minister of Ukraine   “The global business community must understand that nurturing, upholding and protecting freedom and democracy is part of their ESG responsibility. It's not only in their best interest, but also in, in those of their increasingly noisy and numerous stakeholders…Since the Russian invasion of Ukraine started, not all chief executives have had the courage to take actions which would be consistent with their ESG policies,” Natalie Jaresko in the Financial Times.   How might ESG systems support peace and prosperity and disincentivize the brutality we see in the news from the barbaric attack on civilians in Israel and the continuing atrocities in Ukraine by Russia's unprovoked war? Natalie Jaresko, the former finance minister of Ukraine explained how to Electric Ladies Podcast host Joan Michelson in this riveting interview.   Natalie helps us step back a moment and think about how what's at the core of ESG systems might help drive a lasting peace. It's also vital that we continue to pressure lawmakers to approve aid to Ukraine immediately, as well as to Israel.  You'll hear: How ESG can be a tool for democracy, as well as climate and social goals. How globalization allows Russia's dark money to be a hidden influence on Western policies and institutions. What you can do to support Ukraine, today. Plus, insightful career advice. And much more! “I think today there are more ways to make a difference while making money than there ever have been before you don't need to remain or stay in public policy in the traditional kind of government think tank, uh, world.

Even when the economy is booming and unemployment is low, millions of Americans still face economic hardship. And in the last few years the United States has dealt with supply chain challenges, inflation and financial instability. The economic tools we have to identify, address and talk about those problems aren't always up to the task, and sometimes the picture we get is hard to match with reality.

The digital currency craze started with at least one anonymous Bitcoin founder and a community of futuristic, tech-savvy investors willing to take a bet on a new form of money. But over the past decade, the world of digital currency has coined a host of new types of online cash. In fact, Central Banks in more than 80 countries have, or are in the process of gearing their monetary systems in that direction. They consider them a means of modernizing and serving as a check against the growth of crypto. In China, an estimated 140 million people have already begun using the new digital yuan, which accounts for nearly $10 billion worth of transactions. In that context, does the world's reserve currency -- the U.S. dollar -- need its own version? Those who are argue “yes” say it is a fundamental step to remain competitive; to ensure the dollar remains in its preferred global standing. A digital dollar, they argue, would also create a new ease of exchange, reduce delays in processing times, and help the underbanked Americans into the digital economy. Those who argue “no” point to the risks of failure, hackings, and privacy breaches, which includes widespread government tracking of transactions, and could allow for unprecedented federal access to personal banks accounts. Against this backdrop, we ask: Does America Need a Digital Dollar?  Arguing "Yes" is Gillian Tett, Editor-at-large, Financial Times  Arguing "No" is Dante Disparte, Head of Global Policy at Circle   Emmy award-winning journalist John Donvan moderates  Learn more about your ad choices.
