Catherine Rampell, anchor at MSNBC and economics editor at The Bulwark, talks about the latest economic news, including on President Trump's tariffs and China, inflation numbers, SNAP benefits and more.

Steve Forbes shares his unvarnished reaction to Fed Chair Jerome Powell's press briefing on Wednesday, calling out Powell's comments about a possible December rate cut and slamming the institution for remaining wedded to the false idea that prosperity causes inflation.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

The Fed is trying to calibrate policy in the midst of a government shutdown that's effectively cut off the flow of data. Jerome Powell says that when you're driving in fog, you should slow down – but there's still a case for the FOMC to follow this past week's rate cut with another move in December, says Deputy Chief North America Economist Stephen Brown. He talks to David Wilder about why the state of the US economy argues for another cut this year, but fewer in 2026 than markets currently expect.That Fed meeting wasn't the week's only big event. In Korea, Donald Trump held the first face-to-face meeting of his second term with Xi Jinping. The one-year truce resulting from that meeting has eased near-term US-China trade tensions, but much could still go wrong, warns China Economist Leah Fahy. She discusses what might plunge bilateral relations back into crisis, the health of China's economy, and why – even if Washington clears Chinese firms to buy cutting-edge AI chips – they may not do so.Analysis and events referenced in this episode:Drop-In: The Fed, ECB and Bank of England – Latest decisions and policy outlookCapital Economics EventsRead: Fed cuts and ends QT, but further loosening not guaranteedRead: Bank of Canada cuts but thinks it has done enoughXi-Trump talks buy China time to decouple at its own paceThe economic and market impact of AI

What do a barracks from British troops in the Falkland War, a floating jail of the Bronx, and temporary housing for VWF workers in Germany have in common? Well according to our next guest, Ian Kumekawa, they have all inhabited one Swedish barge built in 1979. Now, the barge has so many names, the author calls it “The Vessel.” The book is called “Empty Vessel: The Story of the Global Economy in One Barge.”

Ashley and Nick Evancho say raising their 3-year-old, Sophia, is one of the most joyous things they've ever done. But the Evanchos also made a decision that's increasingly common for families in the U.S. and around the world: One is enough. The trend is leading to populations that are dramatically older, and beginning to shrink, in many of the world's biggest economies.Experts say a rapidly aging and gradually shrinking population in the world's wealthiest countries could force sweeping changes in people's lives, causing many to work longer before retirement, making it harder for business owners to find employees and destabilizing eldercare and health insurance programs.This story is part of NPR's Population Shift series.For sponsor-free episodes of Consider This, sign up for Consider This+ via Apple Podcasts or at plus.npr.org. Email us at considerthis@npr.org.This episode was produced by Paige Waterhouse and Connor Donevan, with audio engineering by Jimmy Keeley.

For weeks now, thousands of Sydneysiders have queued for up to hours at a time, hoping to cash in on the soaring price of gold. Investors view the precious metal as a safe haven during times of economic uncertainty and despite fluctuating prices, gold is having its biggest rally since the 1970s.

Out of the darkness of a shuttered US government comes a rare data release – and it's a CPI report that's given markets some relief as the week draws to a close. But does September's inflation data really clear the way for Fed rate cuts in December as well as October, as investors now expect?In this week's episode of The Weekly Briefing from Capital Economics, Group Chief Economist Neil Shearing explains why the Fed is likely to stay cautious, previews key upcoming central bank meetings, and looks ahead to next week's much-anticipated Donald Trump-Xi Jinping summit in South Korea.Also on the show, the US Treasury's new sanctions on Russia's two biggest oil exporters have brought a key risk to our below-consensus oil price forecasts to the fore. Chief Climate and Commodities Economist David Oxley discusses how much this move could shake up the outlook – and whether Trump will actually follow through with full enforcement.Analysis and events referenced in this episode:Read: China ramping up use of export controlsDrop-In: Argentina's mid-term elections – A referendum on Milei's reformsDrop-In: The Fed, ECB and Bank of England – Latest decisions and policy outlook

Steve welcomes Terry Sawchuk, founder of Sawchuk Wealth, to break down what's really driving the gold market and the state of the global economy in 2025. They discuss why the popular story of a “debasement trade”, institutions fleeing fiat currency, may not be true, and how much of gold demand is actually driven by central banks, particularly China. Sawchuk also highlights that over 50% of global transactions are still settled in U.S. dollars, and the dollar's dominance has actually increased. Looking ahead, they explore the bull market's resilience, the likelihood of a short-term 5–10% correction, and the global shift from a petroleum-based economy to one centered on energy and computing power, a transition linked to recent Middle East peace deals and the waning era of the Petro-Dollar.

In this episode of the Human Action Podcast, Bob unpacks Lerner's Symmetry Theorem—the classic result that, under tight conditions, an import tariff is equivalent to an export tax.

Neil Shearing, group chief economist at Capital Economics and author of The Fractured Age, argues hyper-globalization is giving way to a world split into US- and China-centric blocs, reshaping trade, technology, and security. He explains why de-risking will likely be concentrated in strategic sectors (chips, batteries, biotech), bringing more volatile inflation and new portfolio implications—from being cautious on China exposure to watching critical minerals and long-run AI-driven U.S. tech.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

In just a few days, US–China relations have taken a troubling turn. How did we go from the goodwill of the London and Madrid bilaterals to the current war of words, the threats and the counter-threats? Is this simply pre-APEC brinkmanship, or the start of a more fundamental breakdown in relations between Washington and Beijing? And how great are the risks of a miscalculation that spills over into the global economy? In this special episode of The Weekly Briefing from Capital Economics, Group Chief Economist Neil Shearing and Head of China Economics Julian Evans-Pritchard discuss the past, present and future of US–China relations. They explore key questions, including:• What's driving Beijing's new controls on rare earths, and whether the government could reverse course• What's wrong with US perceptions of China's economic health – and why those perceptions could prove dangerous • How the global economy will need to keep adjusting to a fracturing US-China relationshipAnalysis referenced in this episodeThe fracturing of the Global EconomyUS may revive plans to curb financial ties with ChinaGlobal Economics Outlook: US leads, others lag, in uneven global economyCAP: Economy holding up, but growth remains weakChina's push for innovation is not lifting productivity

Ireland has presented a frugal budget for 2026 in the face of uncertainties caused by President Donald Trump's tariff and tax policies. The 15% global minimum tax on corporations and Trump's threats to impose large tariffs on pharmaceutical companies—most of which are US companies headquartered in Ireland—have increased pressure on the country to find ways to remain competitive. With foreign-owned multinationals in Ireland paying the majority of the country's corporation tax, the government is mulling incentives to encourage them to stay. In this episode of Talking Tax, Bloomberg Tax reporter Ryan Hogg discusses some options the government is considering, including an increase in the R&D tax credit.

We may be seeing peace break out in the Middle East, but it's still trade war elsewhere - especially with China. Donald Trump has threatened a 100% tariff on the rival superpower if Beijing goes through with its plan to impose tough restrictions on exports of the rare earth minerals critical to the U.S. economy. These could well be mere negotiating tactics but they're a reminder of the wider friction that now dominates global economic relations.   On this episode of Free Expression, Gerry Baker speaks with Neil Shearing, Group Chief Economist of Capital Economics and author of “The Fractured Age: How the Return of Geopolitics Will Splinter the Global Economy.” They discuss Shearing's argument that the world is dividing into two giant economic blocs and what that might mean for stability and peace. They also talk about some unusual developments in global markets of late, especially a weakening dollar and a soaring gold price - the last of which Shearing believes is driven by Chinese official policy.  Learn more about your ad choices.

I am worried about the global economySimon Jack, BBC Business Editor speaks to global financial titan Jamie Dimon. He's the Chief Executive and Chairman of JP Morgan Chase, America's largest bank, and one of the biggest banks in the world. He oversees more than $4 trillion of assets, and has the ear of world leaders.He believes we are living in a time of uncertainty, and is concerned about the impact on the global economy. The risk of a serious fall in the US stock market within the next two years is being underestimated, he claims, adding he is far more worried about this than others. But he still puts his faith in the American economy, saying it is the best in the world. And while he says the United States is now a “less reliable” international partner, it is thanks to the actions of President Trump that other NATO members have stepped up their spending on defence. Such investment he believes is essential, in a world more dangerous since the Russian invasion of Ukraine.Jamie Dimon has been at the helm of JP Morgan Chase for nearly twenty years. Now he has been tipped as a potential US Treasury Secretary, something he says is not on the cards.Thank you to the Big Boss Interview team for their help in making this programme.

Bongani Bingwa speaks to Trevor Manuel, former Finance Minister of South Africa, who has joined a global call to “turn debt into hope.” Alongside 30 top economists and global leaders, including Nobel Laureate Joseph Stiglitz, Manuel is urging the IMF and World Bank to rethink how they handle debt in poorer nations. African countries are spending an average of 17% of their revenue just on servicing external debt, leaving little for essential services like health, education, and infrastructure. The group warns that the current model is unsustainable and deepens inequality. 702 Breakfast with Bongani Bingwa is broadcast on 702, a Johannesburg based talk radio station.

We chat with Laleh Khalili — author of Extractive Capitalism: How Commodities and Cronyism Drive the Global Economy — about the different systems, footsoldiers, and circuits of extraction that are essential to capitalism. We take a tour of the great many worlds of extraction: from sand mines and oil fields, to management consultants and chemical engineers, to surveillance systems and genocidal colonialism — all of which are connected together by the imperatives of extraction. Marx said that capitalism contains the seeds of its own destruction, but we are in a race to see who capitalism will destroy first: itself or all of us. ••• Extractive Capitalism: How Commodities and Cronyism Drive the Global Economy | Laleh Khalili https://www.versobooks.com/en-gb/products/3405-extractive-capitalism Standing Plugs: ••• Order Jathan's new book: https://www.ucpress.edu/book/9780520398078/the-mechanic-and-the-luddite ••• Subscribe to Ed's substack: https://substack.com/@thetechbubble ••• Subscribe to TMK on patreon for premium episodes: https://www.patreon.com/thismachinekills Hosted by Jathan Sadowski (bsky.app/profile/jathansadowski.com) and Edward Ongweso Jr. (www.x.com/bigblackjacobin).

How reliant is the US economy on the AI investment boom? It's a question Group Chief Economist Neil Shearing keeps getting in client meetings. On this episode of The Weekly Briefing, he tells David Wilder why there's more to the story than hype around a new technology. Neil also explains why France faces a political – but not an economic – crisis, and what to make of China's toughest moves yet to control rare earth exports.Also on the show, six months after Liberation Day, Deputy Chief Markets Economist Jonas Goltermann assesses how predictions of the dollar's demise have played out and unpacks the market's striking response to Japan's new LDP leader.Analysis and events referenced in this episode:Watch: US Outlook – Weighing the AI boom, labour constraints and the Fed's next chapterRead: China tightens its grip on rare earths (again)Register: Markets Drop-In: Asset Allocation in 2026 – Why we don't think the AI equities boom is overRead: Japan coalition talksRead: What would PM Takaichi mean for Japan?

In this powerful episode of Pushing the Limits, Lisa Tamati sits down with visionary entrepreneur, Bitcoin OG, and author of The Price of Tomorrow — Jeff Booth. Jeff shares his profound insights on why our current financial system is breaking under the weight of exponential technological deflation and debt-driven inflation, and why Bitcoin offers not just an alternative — but a path toward hope, truth, and sovereignty. Together, they explore how exponential technology is rewriting the rules of economics, why central banks can't stop printing without collapse, and what a deflationary future built on sound money could mean for humanity's evolution. Booth's clarity on macroeconomics, human nature, and the moral imperative of Bitcoin offers a deeply philosophical — yet practical — roadmap for navigating the coming decade. If you've ever wondered how innovation, integrity, and decentralised systems intersect to redefine the future of money and freedom, this episode is essential listening. Jeff Booth Bio: Jeff Booth is a visionary leader, technology entrepreneur and best-selling author of The Price of Tomorrow – Why Deflation is Key to an Abundant Future.  With his expertise in technology, system thinking and design, he is at the forefront of a transition from an economic system built for the past, and one built for the future.

Life, Economy, and Chinese Threat Perception in Taipei, Taiwan Guest: Anne Stevenson-Yang Anne Stevenson-Yang reports from Taipei, Taiwan, a vibrant economy and republic vital to the global economy due to TSMC, the microchip maker. Taiwan is characterized by a wonderful public culture where honesty and personal safety are prevalent. Despite its high-tech focus, the economy suffers from problems common elsewhere, including increasing income inequality, unaffordability, high housing prices, and stagnant wages. Regarding geopolitical tensions, the average Taiwanese person is largely immune to the constant threat from China, having heard talk of belligerence for the last 30 years. However, there is apprehension related to China's grim economic winter and growing concern that the US protective umbrella may be receding, leading to more interest in investing in Taiwan's own defense. 1925 TAIPEI

What if global trade isn't really a fight between nations—but between classes? In the fourth episode of our Trade series, Nick and Goldy talk with economist and writer Matthew C. Klein, co-author of Trade Wars Are Class Wars: How Rising Inequality Distorts the Global Economy and Threatens International Peace. Klein argues that the real story behind trade imbalances isn't about countries “winning” or “losing”—it's about how elites hoard profits while workers everywhere pay the price. From China's suppressed wages to Wall Street's endless appetite for financial assets, this conversation exposes how the true conflict in trade is between labor and capital—and what it would take to build a more equitable global economy. Matthew Klein is an economist, writer, and co-author of Trade Wars Are Class Wars: How Rising Inequality Distorts the Global Economy and Threatens International Peace. He writes The Overshoot, a publication focused on global economics and financial markets, and his work has appeared in the Financial Times, Barron's, and The Economist.
