Philip Coggan's "Surviving the Daily Grind: Bartleby's Guide to Work" is an amusing account on corporate world's oddities. For instance, "Why so many managers pollute their utterances with so much inane jargon?" If we had a rupee for each time someone uses the word, "holistic" or recommends others to step outside their "comfort zone", we would all be rich. In this podcast, Philip talks about the merits of using normal English while citing examples of how it can help the bottom line. How has email changed our communication? What are some wacky ways of hiring people? What is the point of all those lenghtly meetings? Why lack of "empathy" from managers who rule with an iron hand can have dire consequences? And finally, what makes a good manager?
Last week, the government unveiled around £30bn worth of cuts to public services as it attempts to plug a fiscal hole. Governments have attempted to rein in spending in the past and struggled to do so. Philip Coggan takes a look at why public spending tends to rise in the long run and the continuing political battle to contain it. Guests: David Gauke, former Conservative MP and Treasury minister from 2010 to 2017 Carys Roberts, Executive Director of the Institute for Public Policy Research Jagjit Chadha, Director of the National Institute of Economic and Social Research Jill Rutter, Senior Fellow of the Institute for Government Producer: Ben Carter Production co-ordinator: Helena Warwick-Cross and Maria Ogundele Sound engineer: James Beard Editor: Clare Fordham

Southern Queensland wheat farmer Philip Coggan from Westmar said he's quite positive about the start of this year's wheat planting with excellent prices and good soil moisture it could be an excellent year and Graincorp's regional manager in Queensland Brad Foster said it has been a big job readying the company's grain receival sites to handle the huge influx expected.
The shortage of HGV drivers has been hitting the headlines, but other sectors are affected by a lack of staff too, from care homes to restaurants. This despite wages going up, and the end of the furlough scheme. What's going on? Could it be that power is shifting away from employers to workers, for perhaps the first time since the 1970s? Since the 2008 financial crisis public opinion has increasingly been unfavourable towards globalisation, immigration and big corporations. This has been reflected in a shift away from an assumed pro-business stance among the mainstream political parties too. Philip Coggan speaks to a range of experts to find out what's been happening, whether workers really will gain more power, and what that might mean for the economy. Guests: Ben Clift, Professor of Political Economy at the University of Warwick Dame DeAnne Julius, Distinguished Fellow for Global Economy and Finance, Chatham House Kate Bell, Head of Rights, International, Social and Economics at the Trades Union Congress Rob Ford, Professor of Political Science at the University of Manchester Jonathan Portes, Professor of Economics and Policy at King's College, London Kate Nicholls, chief executive of UK Hospitality Shereen Hussein, Professor of Health and Social Care Policy at the London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine Gerwyn Davies, Public Policy Adviser and Senior Market Analyst at the Chartered Institute of Personnel and Development Producer: Arlene Gregorius Sound: Gareth Jones
We asked: What can we learn from the response to the Spanish Flu?Are we going back to the inflation of the 1970s?How does the Technological Revolution compare to the Industrial Revolution?Are central banks and governments pursuing MMT?What happened to the Bond Vigilantes?Philip Coggan writes the Bartleby column in the Economist. He started a life in journalism when they used typewriters. He has experienced seismic change in journalism, and his latest book, “More: The 10,000-Year Rise of the World Economy” provides a wide historical perspective with which to reflect on the current economic challenges
Philip Coggan discusses the history of the world economy and explores its lessons for today's economic challenges, including the need for greater innovation, the rise of China, and the disruption inflicted by COVID. The post https://www.aei.org/multimedia/philip-coggan-how-did-the-world-get-so-rich/ (Philip Coggan: How did the world get so rich?) appeared first on https://www.aei.org (American Enterprise Institute - AEI).
In the 1980s, Margaret Thatcher famously said that 'You can’t buck the markets' and Governments back then feared that, if they borrowed too much, they'd pay a terrible price in the markets in terms of higher borrowing costs. But now governments around the world are borrowing record amounts but paying record-low rates. In this programme Philip Coggan examines how the markets were tamed. Philip talks to Don Kohn, former vice chairman of the Federal Reserve, economist and author Eric Lonergan, Andrew Balls, Chief Investment Officer at Pimco and economist and author Stephanie Kelton. Producer: Ben Carter Editor: Jasper Corbett
The pandemic has accelerated de-globalisation. Governments worry now about the length and strength of medical supply chains and cross-border trade and travel. But globalisation has had its critics for quite a time. Nationalism has been powered in many countries by the belief that a globalised world has led to rising inequality and fewer middle income jobs in richer countries. And our global institutions - the IMF, World Bank and World Trade Organisation - are under attack too. Philip Coggan considers the long view, looking back to the last great wave of globalisation that ended abruptly with the Great War of 1914-1918.

Découvrez vite le résumé du livre "Paper Promises" ! Philip Coggan est chroniqueur pour le magazine The Economist. Auparavant, il a travaillé pendant 20 ans pour le Financial Times. En 2009, Coggan a été désigné journaliste financier senior de l’année par la fondation Wincott et a reçu le prix de meilleur communicant aux trophées du journaliste économique de l’année. Il est également l’auteur de The Money Machine et de The Economist Guide to Hedge Funds. Depuis plus de 40 ans, les gouvernements et les consommateurs du monde entier ont accumulé des montants de dettes jamais vus auparavant. Cette évolution montre à quel point nos attitudes face à la monnaie ont changé avec le temps. Dans son livre Paper Promises, Philip Coggan explique comment la dette va affecter l’économie mondiale dans les prochaines années et influencer la manière dont les générations se comportent les unes avec les autres. Il souligne ainsi que le monde est sur le point de connaître une crise sans précédent, que les emprunteurs ne rembourseront pas leurs dettes et que les créditeurs comme la Chine exigeront un nouveau système pour protéger leurs droits. ————————————— - Mon histoire personnelle : bit.ly/2wHpqdM - Ma page Facebook : facebook.com/EcoledesFinancesPersonnelles - Ce podcast sur l'iPhone et sur iTunes : apple.co/2u5sjDI

Will technology radically reshape the highly profitable world of finance? Technology can revolutionise industries, making goods and services cheaper and more accessible. Television is going the same way with online services such as Netflix and Amazon Prime providing thousands of movies and boxsets. From the point of view of the consumer the picture is the same - we tend to have more choice and pay less money. Profits get squeezed. Yet there's one service we buy that seems to be a glaring exception - finance. Philip Coggan of The Economist asks whether the rapidly growing financial technology sector is about to change all that, creating a future that's much less comfortable for City fat cats, but better for everyone else.

Philip Coggan, a historian of debt crises, discusses the current turmoil in Europe and explores the nature of money itself and our changing attitudes to it – most money now exists only on computers and the only thing that sustains it is confidence
Philip Coggan, the Capital Markets Editor of The Economist joins us to talk about his special report on Pensions. Things have changed quite a bit since the first pension scheme was introduced by Otto Von Bismarck back in the 19th century. As people in developed countries are living longer, the pressure on the working population is mounting steadily to support the greying economies. In this podcast, Philip suggests different ways to tackle this problem by citing examples of governments which are doing it right and a few others which aren't.
