On this week's episode of The Debrief, MT's editorial team discusses what we can expect from the economy in the next few years and research from EY suggesting that CEO confidence in the global outlook is fuelling M&A activity.As political strategist James Carville famously drilled into Bill Clinton campaign staffers, “it's the economy, stupid”. But after several years of successive disruptions, precisely which economic variables should we be watching most closely? Adam Gale enlisted the help of two economists – one micro and one macro – to answer this question. We take you through their analysis.Median pay for a FTSE 100 CEO reached £4.19m in 2023, according to the High Pay Centre – that's 120 times that of the median full-time worker. At the same time, new research, which looked at workforce dynamics in a number of advanced capitalist economies, has identified a trend of “dramatically declining exposure of top earners to bottom earners”. The potential implications of this growing segregation are multifaceted – but universally bleak, as we discuss.Links:https://www.managementtoday.co.uk/economy-know-watching-briefs-significant-piece-legislation/indepth/article/1886971https://www.managementtoday.co.uk/research-ceo-confidence-drive-m-a-activity-despite-macroeconomic-uncertainties/indepth/article/1887287https://www.managementtoday.co.uk/research-top-earners-increasingly-isolated-bottom-pay-hierarchy/indepth/article/1886849Credits:Presenters: Antonia Garrett Peel and Éilis CroninProducer: Til OwenArtwork: David Robinson Hosted on Acast.

Forbes' annual rich list reveals that 2,781 people in the world have fortunes in excess of $1 billion. 141 people joined the list in 2023, with a combined wealth of around $14 trillion -  a $2 trillion collective increase on the previous year. There are now more billionaires than ever before. It is a grotesque state of affairs, when we reflect on the misery and hardship that have been wrought by the cost of living crisis, soaring inflation, and years of stagnating pay and decaying public services. Clearly, amidst such stark inequality, there is an urgent need to do things differently.  That's the argument made by Luke Hildyard in his new book, Enough: Why It's Time to Abolish the Super-Rich, which is out now from Pluto Press. Luke argues that far from being the hard-working and productive entrepreneurs that they claim to be, the super-rich are an extractive, parasitic force sucking up a vastly disproportionate share of society's resources – making the rest of us all poorer as a result. Politicians make absurd promises about economic growth while ignoring the solution that's staring them in the face: a major programme of progressive taxation and economic reform that could be used to get the wealth of the one per cent flowing instead to the workers who actually create it. Luke Hildyard is also the Director of the High Pay Centre, a UK think tank focused on pay, employment rights and responsible business.  Use the coupon PODCAST on plutobooks.com for 40% off the book.

Good morning from London where the FTSE 100 is marginally up from Friday's close after a positive start for the miners as well as Vodafone and Entain. Vodafone is the big gainer on talk of spinning out its Italian operations in a deal with Paris-based Iliad worth €6.6bn upfront. And in the latest instalment of the transatlantic stock market soap opera, Nasdaq's head of listings Karen Snow has been on Radio 4 this morning saying that she ‘absolutely' believes more British companies will be IPO-ing across the pond since there's a lot more money available over there. And some fresh figures from a body called the High Pay Centre show that the extra cash is not a draw to companies but to their bosses as well – S&P500 CEOs are typically paid 272 times more than their average employee while that figure is just 57 times the average here in the UK. Elsewhere on the FTSE and Games Workshop has sealed a deal with Amazon to create a series based on science-fiction fantasy miniature war game Warhammer. The agreement comes a year after the company first announced talks were taking place. Plenty still to come today including interviews with some big names in the small cap space – so stay tuned and have a great start to the week. #ProactiveInvestors #FTSE100 #nasdaq #invest #investing #investment #investor #stockmarket #stocks #stock #stockmarketnews #news

Has Britain reached peak inequality and is it becoming more equal for the first time in a century? Danny Dorling, professor of Human Geography at the University of Oxford advances this radical argument in discussion with Deborah Hargreaves, former CEO of the High Pay Centre and Prospect's deputy editor Ellen Halliday. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Despite being overall a wealthy country, the UK has the second highest income inequality in the G7—a point best exemplified by the huge disparity in wealth between the top executives and the lowest paid in some of the country's biggest countries. In this week's podcast, deputy editor Ellen Halliday is joined by Luke Hildyard, director of the High Pay Centre, and Sandy Pepper, emeritus professor of the London School of Economics, to discuss how CEO pay packets got so out of control—and whether or not there's a way to fix it. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Sean Farrington speaks to the High Pay Centre think-tank about their latest research, which finds that there is a growing pay gap between FTSE 350 workers and CEOs, plus we speak to a charity in Glasgow about the issues people in the city are facing as the cost of living goes up. Plus, after Russian halts gas supply to Finland, what will it mean for the Nordic nation and the west?

If you're working in the City, data released on Wednesday by the Office for National Statistics, shows you're probably doing very well indeed with a nice pay rise.But bankers' pay is now growing three times faster than the wages of NHS nurses and teachers, showing how unequal the Covid economic recovery really is.To unpick the ONS data, we're joined by Luke Hildyard, director of the High Pay Centre, a London-based independent think tank.

Wie jedes Jahr, gibt es auch 2022 den "Tag der fetten Katze (FatCatDay). Dieser Tag wird vom britischen ThinkTank High-Pay-Centre errechnet und bestimmt den Tag, an dem ein durchschnittlicher CEO das Gehalt erwirtschaftet hat, was dem Median-Jahresgehalt ganz normaler Arbeitnehmer:innen entspricht. Mit Leistung hat das meist nichts zu tun. Gleichzeitig sieht man besonders in der Pandemie, dass Unterstützung oft sehr ungerecht ist, besonders in Österreich.

My answer might surprise you… The highest paid FTSE 100 company executive is the CEO of pharmaceutical giant Astra Zeneca, Pascal Soriot, who earned £15.45 million in 2020 for his part in delivering the covid vaccine to tens of millions of people. The median FTSE CEO was paid £2.69 million – 86 times the median full-time worker - in 2020, according to the High Pay Centre think tank. The boss of the credit search agency Experian, Brian Cassin, earned £10.3 million, but CEOs of PLC companies are not the highest paid people in the UK. Denise Coates, the boss of privately owned online gambling firm BET 365 earned £421 million. 4 Ways Employees Can Get Rich: Performance related pay and bonuses Salary Pensions Share or stock options Millions of small business owners, freelance and self-employed workers earn less than the minimum wage when taking into account the number of hours they put in, and most would be better off driving a bus.

Millionaires and millionaire habits have been studied and documented at academic levels for the last hundred years. Bestselling books, like The Science of Getting Rich and Thinks and Grow Rich, were written almost a century ago.

Why has excessive executive pay become such an issue around the world? What can be done about it? Why can't fund managers exert more of an influence over company boards when it comes to remuneration?

Wages for the majority have been stagnant for decades, but a lucky few have enjoyed a pay bonanza. Top company bosses take home in several days as much as most people earn in a whole year. My guest on the podcast today is Deborah Hargreaves, former business editor of the Guardian and a founder and director of the High Pay Centre, an independent think-tank that monitors executive pay. Deborah's new book is called Are Chief Executives Overpaid? In the book, she explains why pay for the top 0.1% has sky-rocketed in the past 20 years. She gives a devastating account of how it has created a vicious circle that destabilizes our economy and undermines social cohesion, demolishing the twisted logic of the chief executives who say: 'I'm worth it', when that means raking in £70m a year. Deborah's book is a rigorous expose of the dysfunctional nature of our 'winner-takes-all' economy, debunking the myths behind top pay and examining a range of pragmatic solutions. Here's episode 410 of Informed Choice Radio, an interview with Deborah Hargreaves of the High Pay Centre.

Arguments over tax and inequality have moved centre stage in politics in recent years. Erstwhile Democratic Party presidential candidate Bernie Sanders declared: ‘The issue of wealth and income inequality is the great moral issue of our time, it is the great economic issue of our time, and it is the great political issue of our time.’ The World Economic Forum argues ‘A growing body of research suggests that rising income inequality is the cause of economic and social ills, ranging from low consumption to social and political unrest, and is damaging to our future economic well-being.’ Then there's the question of paying a 'fair share' of tax. The furore around the Panama Papers, which revealed the tax-avoiding strategies of many wealthy people, recalled Leona Helmsley’s infamous quote ‘We don’t pay taxes. Only the little people pay taxes.’ Should we be worried about inequality as well as poverty? Does inequality have effects on society that go beyond material disadvantage? Why have politicians become so keen on talking up inequality today? Is inequality inevitable – or even beneficial?
