This talk is an introduction to John Kay's recent book “The Corporation in the twenty-first century”.In the industrial revolution, businesses were defined by their tangible capital. the iron works and the textile mills in which the routine assembly process was operated by minimally skilled workers. Modern business is no longer like this. Tangible capital is bought as a service from specialist suppliers who have neither interest or ability to control the business. The corporation is a collection of the capabilities of teams of people, and the workers, not the plant, are the means of production.Speaker:Sir John Kay is one of Britain's leading economists with wide practical experience in business and finance. A Fellow of the British Academy and Royal Society of Edinburgh, he was the founding dean of Oxford University's Saïd Business School and held a chair at London Business School. He is a winner of the Senior Wincott Award for Financial Journalism for his Financial Times columns. Other People's Money won the Saltire Prize for non-fiction and was shortlisted for the Orwell Prize for Political Writing. His other books include Obliquity, The Long and Short of It, Greed is Dead (written with Paul Collier) and Radical Uncertainty (with Mervyn King).
„Každá migrace je vítězstvím ducha,“ poznamenává Paul Collier, ekonom, který se dlouhodobě zabývá i etickými otázkami migrace. Vítězství ducha bývají vyčerpávající a občas i smutná. V nádherné knize Migrant o tom vydává svědectví Günther Anders, filosof, esejista a spisovatel, který prchal spolu s manželkou Hannou Arendtovou a prastrýcem Walterem Benjaminem z válečné Evropy do Spojených států. Osudy těchto tří intelektuálů se postupně rozpojily. Hannah Arendtová se uchytla ve Spojených státech, začala psát v angličtině, stala se jednou z nejvýraznějších intelektuálkou druhé poloviny dvacátého století a s Andersem se rozvedla. Walter Benjamin cestou do Spojených států spáchal sebevraždu. Günther Anders k tomu ve své knize Migrant poznamenává: „Skutečně se umírá jen doma.“ Autor tím míní, že migrant ztrácí ochrannou sféru svých blízkých, známých i starosti druhých. Ve své knize zdůrazňuje, že migrující člověk snadno a lehce umírá i proto, že existence stojí na uznání druhých. Migrant z tohoto paktu – aspoň na nějakou dobu – vypadává a jeho bytí se tím umenšuje a ztenčuje. I to může být důvod, proč snáze onemocní, proč snáze ztrácí půdu pod nohama. Pro Günthera Anderse byla migrace příliš stresující. Nikdy se plně integrovat ani nechtěl. Viděl v tom ztrátu sebe sama. Po druhé světové válce se vrátil domů. Cítil, že když koktá v jazyce, koktá i v existenci.Oslava, včetně té filozofické oslavy jinakosti a změny, v druhé polovině dvacátého století nebere v potaz, jak závislí jsme na kořenech, identitě, domovu, a jak náročné je vítězství migrace. Představa, že kdokoli může žít kdekoli, je v moderně unikátní, ale modernu také proto činí tak náročnou a konfliktní, na rovině společnosti i jednotlivců. Srovnáme-li současnou migraci s migrací během druhé světové války, jsou to přirozeně v mnoha ohledech odlišné situace, ale některé „existenciály“ migrace, tak jak je definuje Anders ve své knize, mohou platit pro Syřany v Německu stejně jako Ukrajince v Česku. Podstatné je, že Anders nekončí pesimisticky. Zkušenost migrace jej naučila jednu podstatnou dovednost: snášet to, že člověk nezapadá. Migrace nám navíc umožňuje zakoušet něco podstatného: absolutní nezajištěnost vlastní existence. Člověk – každý člověk – je animal migrans, živočich v pohybu. Nikdy svá přesvědčení, z nichž žije, nepřevede na absolutní pravdy, stále musí migrovat a hledat správnější, adekvátnější postoje. Zůstáváme v pohybu, protože jistota je nelidská. Ale má-li být tato přirozená nejistota snesitelná, potřebujeme kořeny. Jak říká rakouský filozof Jean Améry: „Člověk potřebuje hodně domova, aby jej neměl zapotřebí.“ KapitolyI.

Global inequality has grown over the past two decades, concentrating an enormous amount of wealth and power on an elite number of individuals, cities, regions and nations all while stranding the vast masses to ignominy and penury. Yet, history is replete with examples of people and places that have caught up — and in some cases even surpassed — once foregone winners, begging the question: how should those left behind today work to catch up? That's the question that Paul Collier addresses in his new book, “Left Behind: A New Economics for Neglected Places.” Collier is a long-time development economist who has diligently brought the spotlight onto the most impoverished people in the world, calling attention to what he famously dubbed the “bottom billion.” With his new book, he explores why some places that were once terrifically wealthy — think Detroit in America — have fallen behind economically, and what steps are needed to overcome that stagnation. With host Danny Crichton, Collier talks about the economic reversals of places around the world, why evolutionary economics and contributive justice offer new lenses on the problem, how addressing radical uncertainty through rapid learning suggests a path forward, and why global development institutions like the World Bank and the International Monetary Fund remain so recalcitrant in their approaches to aid, particularly in offering agency to those affected by their decisions.

With the market melting down Monday and suffering its worst loss in over two years, Bill Stone, chief investment officer at Glenview Trust, says that wary investors are justifiably nervous, but they shouldn't be distracted from their long-term goals, which means staying diversified and invested and looking for opportunities. Stone does warn that the well-publicized opportunities in artificial intelligence may be a bit overblown now; while he believes AI technology will reshape industry and deliver on its enormous potential, he thinks the market has gotten ahead of itself in terms of valuing AI plays. That sentiment is shared by hedge-fund manager Lukasz Tomicki, managing partner at LRT Capital Management, who says in the Market Call segment that he is avoiding most artificial intelligence plays now, noting that the AI "frenzy" has created unreasonable valuations and expectations. Plus, economist Paul Collier discusses his new book, “Left Behind: A New Economics for Neglected Places,” which was released today and which questions traditional assumptions on how to improve economically struggling areas.
Paul Collier has for many years challenged the conventional wisdom of development economics, bringing our attention to the real-world impact of policies many of us take for granted. His new book is called Left Behind. It is about how some countries or regions in the world fall behind, and what we can do to help them recover. In this week's episode he talks to Tim Phillips about what causes a place to be left behind, the difficulty in stopping that downward spiral, and what the places that have recovered have in common.

Why are there areas of severe deprivation in prosperous countries, and how can prosperity be shared more equally? Those are the questions the world-renowned development economist Paul Collier explores in his book, Left Behind: A New Economics for Neglected Places. He looks at areas that were once thriving – from the mining towns of South Yorkshire to the bustling city ports in Colombia – to explore widening inequality, but also to offer ideas of economic renewal.Matthew Xia directs the UK premier of Skeleton Crew by Dominique Morriseau at the Donmar Warehouse (from 28th June to 24th August 2024). Set in Detroit in 2008, the play follows a tight-knit group of workers in one of the city's last surviving car factories as they struggle to come to terms with its inevitable closure. This is a story about the human cost of a global financial crisis and of enduring hope, against the odds.Joanna Kusiak calls herself a scholar-activist as she recounts the movement she was involved in that put people and community before speculative finance and profit. Her book, Radically Legal, is the story of how a group of ordinary Berliners used a forgotten clause in the German constitution to take back more than 240,000 apartments from corporate landlords. The book is based on Kusiak's winning entry to the Nine Dots Prize, which supports the development of book proposals, and was in response to the question set by the prize: ‘why has the rule of law become so fragile?'

Kyren Wilson gegen Jak Jones ist das WM-Finale 2024 unter der Leitung von Paul Collier. Der Referee wird sein letztes Match leiten, genauso wie Rolf Kalb zum letzten Mal ein Snooker-Match kommentiert. Während Kyren Wilson seinen in der dritten Session herausgearbeiteten Vorsprung locker bis ins Ziel rettet, war es zwischen Jak Jones und Stuart Bingham etwas kämpferischer. Doch auch hier konnte sich Jones in der dritten Session entscheidend absetzen, während sich bei Bingham zunehmend auch die Fehler und die Nervosität häuften.

Stefan Dercon is the author of Gambling on Development, in which he details his theory of the elite bargain framework for development in low-income countries. Stefan is a Professor of Economic Policy at the University of Oxford, and also serves as the Director of the Center for the Study of African Economies. Prior to his current academic posts, he has extensive experience in the world of policy, as the Chief Economist at the Department for International Development and as an advisor to the UK's Foreign Secretary. In our conversation with Stefan in today's show, we get to delve deep into his elite bargain idea, the impact of effective altruism, the need for self-awareness within governments, and how far lessons from certain examples can be applied to other states. We also get to talk about political settlements and how his framework fits into the context of current popular theories and explanations for economic growth. So to catch all this and a whole lot more, be sure to listen in to this great chat with Stefan Dercon!

Developed nations like the United Kingdom and the United States are experiencing growing radical oppositions and deep divisions between rural communities and bustling urban centers. A severe lack of opportunities plagues poorer communities. Young people have little to look forward to except a bleak job market, while older workers are marginalized as their skills lose value. One of the world's most influential development economists, Paul Collier, tackles these issues in his recent book, The Future Of Capitalism.In this episode, Paul and Greg talk nationalism vs. patriotism, how personal and national identities have evolved and delve into Paul's diagnosis of capitalism's failures and ideas for how we can reform it.Episode Quotes:What motivated you to shift the focus of your work to the problems of developed countries like Britain and U.S.?Both the geographic divide of living in this hyper prosperous place of Oxford, and seeing this catastrophe in my town, but also being on this rising ladder of fancy education and then off you go, versus all my relatives who invested in manual skills, the skills of steelworkers. And all their skills evaporated. The pride that they took in their work disappeared. Work disappeared. One of my relatives ended up earning a living cleaning toilets. And so, this astonishing divergence in my life—brought me around to realizing that something needed to be done about that. And it wasn't that it was just happening to a few people/. In both Britain and America, those divergences, the spatial divergence between booming metropolises and broken provincial towns and cities. And that divergence between a hyper educators' success with fancy skills on top, versus manual skills that became worthless. That divide became true of our entire societies in America and Britain. And not just America and Britain, but especially America and Britain.How can we have more inclusive economic policies and avoid faulty economic models?We can have mutual respect. It can be a threshold level. Here is the behavior, that is, as long as you're over that threshold of behavior, everybody in the group can respect everybody else. Here is what we're trying to achieve, some common purpose. In order to achieve that common purpose, here's the action we need to do. And those of us who do that action, went over the threshold. We've earned the respect of the community. And being able to do that at grand scale, is at its best what a patriotic society does.What do people in poor areas really need?What people in poor places want is not just consumption. They want the dignity of the opportunities to be productive. And for that, we need to transfer not just money, but the opportunities for productivity. And that is good jobs and skills. That is the agenda that actually levels the country spatially.Time Code Guide:00:01:00 What motivated you to shift the focus of your work to the problems of developed countries like Britain and U.S.?00:05:26 Thoughts on the gap between the urban elite and rural residents00:07:24 Is the breakdown of national identity driving the underinvestment in public goods that we see in our countries?00:09:47 How the Danes saved the country from being hit dramatically by Covid-1900:12:05 Do you think people's attitudes towards Covid-19 were really more about signaling self-expression than concerned for the public good?00:15:01 Why and how is it that economists are often blamed for leading us into this impasse where we need to argue for more inclusive economics?00:20:00 How come the Marxist model that aims to be positive have had negative effect on the people?00:28:11 ICI, how their mission shifted from being about chemicals to shareholder gains00:30:05 How the monitored incentive structure changed the way we work00:32:23 Why can't ethnicity be a foundation for building a community with mutual obligations and sense of belongingness?00:36:33 John Rawls and his views on human rights and individual rights00:40:33 The common purpose that most Britons agree on: drastically narrowing down the differences of opportunities in the society00:43:04 How can the system create more opportunities and better access in the rural areas?00:46:23 How can you utilize the insights that you've learned from the failures of development policy to design a workable policy for these poor areas within our developed economy?00:52:10 Lessons learned from PittsburghShow Links:Guest ProfilePaul Collier on LinkedInAcademic Profile on University of Oxford, Blavatnik School of GovernmentHis WorkPaul Collier's Ted Talk Paul Collier's Write-ups on the International Growth CenterPaul Collier Articles on The GuardianGreed Is DeadThe Future of Capitalism: Facing the New AnxietiesExodus: How Migration is Changing Our WorldThe Plundered Planet: Why We Must--and How We Can--Manage Nature for Global ProsperityWars, Guns, and Votes: Democracy in Dangerous PlacesThe Bottom Billion: Why the Poorest Countries are Failing and What Can Be Done About ItLiving Down the Past: How Europe Can Help Africa Grow (Studies in Trade and Development)Labor and Poverty in Rural Tanzania: Ujamaa and Rural Development in the United Republic of Tanzania
I dagens podd pratar jag med Eric Kaufmann som är professor i statsvetenskap vid Birkbeck college vid London university. Han har skrivit flera böcker, varav “Whiteshift: Populism, Immigration and the Future of White Majorities” som kom 2018 är en av de mer intressanta böckerna som kommit på senare år. Den handlar om den demografiska förändringen av västvärlden, om reaktionerna detta föder, om högerpopulism och dess motsats vänstermodernism. Boken var även en av inspirationskällorna till en debatt jag initierade för två år sedan, och därför är jag särskilt glad att nu få chansen att prata med Eric. Nedan har jag sammanfattat den debatten och hur jag i dag ser på den. Det är demografin, dumbom! ”Jag sätter mig tillrätta på mitt förstaklassäte i X2000 klockan 21.57 och tänker att det borde finnas en fråga att ställa här. Om att det är på väg att skapas ett nytt Sverige, en landsbygd där de infödda svenskarna drar sig tillbaka till villorna och centrum blir en plats för de nya, att landsbygden, sedan länge ett långsamt slocknande och avfolkat ålderdomshem, nu också har blivit en flyktingförläggning, ett asylboende, ett nybyggarland, för vissa en återvändsgränd, för andra platsen där människor börjar om.”Så beskrev Jens Liljestrand den dramatiska demografiska förändring som Sverige genomgått och fortsätter att genomgå. Han hade varit ute på föredragsturné och bevittnade en förändrad landsbygd. Han ropade ”Jalla! Jalla!” till en taxichaufför som inte talade svenska, och gjorde reflektionen att det är han själv, Jens, som är gäst här, inte tvärtom. Denna text var hans sätt att fira nationaldagen 2019 eftersom den publicerades dagen innan.Några dagar senare beskrev jag samma förändring utifrån en rapport av Joakim Ruist med titeln ”Global migration – orsaker och konsekvenser” (SvD). Det demografiska perspektiv som Liljestrand tagit upp saknades helt. Han fokuserade på det ekonomiska, och menade att invandringen inte hade den stora påverkan många trodde. Gemene svensk, som alltid varit för en striktare migrationspolitik än etablissemanget, led alltså av ett slags informationsunderskott. Jag hävdade då att det var fel. “Det är demografin, inte ekonomin, som är huvudförklaringen till att allt fler väljare i Sverige och västvärlden röstar på partier som vill minska invandringen radikalt.” skrev jag.I samma veva myntade Kajsa Dovstad på GP:s ledarsida det bevingade uttrycket att få ett “Jimmie moment”, för att beskriva samma känsla av att inte känna sig hemma i sitt eget land. Reaktionerna lät inte vänta på sig. På Aftonbladets kultursida skrev Martin Aagård att jag var hudfärgsfixerad som ens beskrev förändringen runtom i Sverige. Per Svensson, som då var politisk redaktör på DN:s ledarsida, skrev att jag passerade en gräns. Att det jag skrev var oanständigt. I sociala medier var reaktioner grövre än så.Vad skrev då Per Svensson och Martin Aagård och mina andra kritiker om Jens Liljestrands betraktelse? Ingenting alls. Om man hyllar förändringen, och dessutom har med en passus där man kritiserar Sverigedemokraterna, då är man anständig. Om man däremot beskriver exakt samma förändring, men även att den leder till ökat invandringsmotstånd, då är man oanständig. Borde inte frågan vara om analysen stämmer i stället? I boken ”Exodus” (Penguin, 2013) beskrev Paul Collier vad som anses vara en ”anständig” reaktion hos Europas majoritetsbefolkningar på migrationen: ”Var inte rasist”, ”Ge plats” och ”Lär dig att lovprisa andra kulturer”. Detta är vänsterns och många liberalers attityd. Minoriteters identiteter är skyddsvärda, medan majoriteten ska trycka ned sin egen. Tror verkligen vänsterliberaler att majoritetsbefolkningar runtom i västvärlden inte kommer reagera på det faktum att de inom en överskådlig framtid kan bli minoriteter i sina egna länder?Texter som refereras i dagens avsnittEric Kaufmanns rapport om hur omfattningen av rasismen i USA överdrivs av medier: The Social Construction of Racism in the United States Eric Kaufmanns studie om akademisk frihet: Academic Freedom in Crisis: Punishment, Political Discrimination, and Self-CensorshipKontakthypotesen: Intergroup Contact and Negative Attitudes Towards Immigrants Among Youth in Sweden: Individual and Contextual FactorsUtgivaren ansvarar inte för kommentarsfältet.

'Fascinating and entertaining. If you read one book on human origins, this should be it' Ian Morris, author of Why the West Rules - For Now 'The who, what, where, when and how of human evolution, from one of the world's experts on the dating of prehistoric fossils' Steve Brusatte, author of The Rise and Fall of the Dinosaurs 50,000 years ago, we were not the only species of human in the world. There were at least four others, including the Neanderthals, Homo floresiensis, Homo luzonesis and the Denisovans. At the forefront of the latter's ground-breaking discovery was Oxford Professor Tom Higham. In The World Before Us, he explains the scientific and technological advancements - in radiocarbon dating and ancient DNA, for example - that allowed each of these discoveries to be made, enabling us to be more accurate in our predictions about not just how long ago these other humans lived, but how they lived, interacted and live on in our genes today. This is the story of us, told for the first time with its full cast of characters. 'The application of new genetic science to pre-history is analogous to how the telescope transformed astronomy. Tom Higham brings us to the frontier of recent discoveries with a book that is both gripping and fun' Paul Collier, author of The Bottom Billion 'This exciting book shows that we now have a revolutionary new tool for reconstructing the human past: DNA from minute pieces of tooth and bone, and even from the dirt on the floor of caves' David Abulafia, author of The Boundless Sea 'The remarkable new science of palaeoanthropology, from lab bench to trench' Rebecca Wragg Sykes, author of Kindred 'Higham's thrilling account makes readers feel as if they were participating themselves in the extraordinary series of events that in the last few years has revealed our long-lost cousins' David Reich, author of Who We Are and How We Got Here 'A brilliant distillation of the ideas and discoveries revolutionising our understanding of human evolution' Chris Gosden, author of The History of Magic
Economists Paul Collier and John Kay discuss their book, Greed is Dead, with Sir Charles Godfray Throughout history, successful societies have created institutions which channel both competition and co-operation to achieve complex goals of general benefit. These institutions make the difference between societies that thrive and those paralysed by discord, the difference between prosperous and poor economies. In their 2020 book, Greed is Dead, the leading economists Paul Collier and John Kay argue that extreme individualism has today weakened co-operation and polarised our politics, and call for a reaffirmation of the values of mutuality across the social, political and business spheres. In conversation with Charles Godfray, the authors will develop this argument and explore how the experience of the global pandemic may affect how societies and policymakers view the balance between individualism and mutuality.
Episode Introduction Alexander Betts, Professor of Forced Migration and International Affairs at the University of Oxford, and Ola Rosling, CEO of Gapminder, discuss what (almost) everybody gets wrong about refugees in this episode hosted by IKEA Foundation CEO Per Heggenes. There are a lot of misconceptions about refugees, especially around their intentions and why they leave their homes, belongings and loved ones to venture into the unknown. Do you think you know your facts about refugees? Learn more from two interesting and knowledgeable guests who shine a light on some of the issues faced by the world's 26 million refugees. Guests Bio Ola Rosling is President and Co-Founder of Gapminder Foundation, which he founded together with his wife and his father. Since 1999, Ola has led the development of the Trendalyzer software, which was acquired by Google in 2007. At Google Ola and his team delivered the Motion Chart as part of Google Spreadsheets. As Product Manager for Google Public Data, Ola then helped democratise access to public statistics by developing the infrastructure needed to make official statistics part of Google Search results. Ola and Anna went back to Gapminder in 2011 to develop free teaching materials for a fact-based worldview. In 2014, Ola coined the term “Factfulness”, which Gapminder is now promoting to make education about Sustainable Development less ideological and more fact-based. Together with Anna and Hans, Ola wrote Factfulness, a book launched in April 2018.

Humans are hard-wired for community, but our political and economic systems have encouraged and rewarded extreme individualism for far too long. How can we rethink how we do things to put collective purpose back at the centre? Modern economics has for many years been driven by a belief which is no longer tenable: that ‘greed is good'. This mode of thinking has contributed to environmental destruction and vast inequality, and caused us to lose sight of an important truth about ourselves and each other: that we are cooperative, communal beings. Economics professors Paul Collier and John Kay, joining us in conversation with Bloomberg's Head of Economics Stephanie Flanders, tell us we have reached a point of ‘peak greed', where our politics have become centred around the idea of the self. How can we maintain the conviction and self-belief we need to address our most urgent challenges, whilst healing divisions and acting as part of something bigger than ourselves? Putting mutuality and common purpose back at the heart of our societies, they tell us, will mean strengthening our ‘politics of place', and returning power to communities.#RSAindividualismThis conversation was broadcast online on the 15th October 2020.
