Economist John N. Friedman has made a career researching the causes of inequality and its long-term consequences for children in the US. His findings are grim. Social mobility is in sharp decline. Where you live and go to school increasingly determines your success and future. Joining fellow economist, Richard Holden, Friedman will explore how policy can harness schools, neighbourhoods, universities, and social capital to reverse this trend, and revive a fading “American Dream” of progress and social mobility. Explore what this could mean in a country like Australia.

La plupart des économistes sur place estiment que l'Australie saura faire valoir ce statut d'allié stratégique pour éviter d'être directement sanctionné. Mais redoutent que la hausse massive des droits de douane promise par Donald Trump sur les exportations venues de Chine, le principal partenaire commercial de l'Australie, aura indirectement des conséquences lourdes sur l'économie de l'île-continent. De notre correspondant à Canberra,Protéger le marché américain de la concurrence étrangère, en rendant artificiellement les produits venus d'ailleurs plus chers, c'est la promesse formulée par Donald Trump tout au long de sa campagne victorieuse. « Le mot droit de douane, c'est le plus beau mot dans le dictionnaire. Il va rendre notre pays riche », s'est-il exclamé. Un discours aux antipodes de celui porté par le gouvernement australien, qui se présente pour sa part comme un champion du libre échange.Mais malgré ces divergences de vue, l'économiste Richard Holden, de l'université de Nouvelle-Galles du Sud, et comme nombre de ses collègues, pense que l'Australie a de bons arguments pour échapper à de nouvelles barrières douanières. « Je crois que l'Australie est bien placée pour les éviter. Nous sommes un allié proche et assez important des États-Unis dans le Pacifique. Qui plus est, Donald Trump laisse entendre que le pacte Aukus va être maintenu, ce qui veut dire que nous allons devenir un allié militaire encore plus important pour les États-Unis. Et mettre en difficulté un allié de cette nature, ce n'est pas une très bonne idée. L'autre point important à souligner, c'est que la balance commerciale des États-Unis est excédentaire avec l'Australie », explique-t-il.En revanche, il est beaucoup moins optimiste concernant la Chine, avec qui Donald Trump a déjà mené une guerre commerciale lors de son premier mandat. Or, la Chine est aussi le premier partenaire commercial de l'Australie. Elle y a écoulé en 2023 plus de 130 milliards d'euros de marchandises, soit près du tiers de toutes ses exportations. « Des droits de douane massifs appauvriraient la Chine, à un point qu'ils ne seraient plus disposés, ou plus capables d'acheter nos produits agricoles haut de gamme, par exemple les homards, le bœuf wagyu ou nos vins les plus onéreux. Et cela nous ferait mal » redoute-t-il.Un point de vue partagé par Medo Pournader, de la faculté d'économie de l'université de Melbourne. Mais elle veut croire que l'Australie, malgré un protectionnisme américain a priori défavorable à son économie, pourrait tirer son épingle du jeu. « Ce n'est pas que du sang et des larmes, il y a peut-être même de belles opportunités pour l'Australie. Je crois que nous devons négocier avec les États-Unis pour éviter des droits de douane. Ou, a minima, qu'ils soient moins élevés que pour d'autres pays, ce qui nous permettrait d'exporter davantage de produits australiens aux États-Unis », espère-t-elle.

På 700 år hände det väldigt lite med tekniken pengar. De senaste 30 åren har väldigt mycket hänt, och ekonomiprofessorn Richard Holden tror att det kan vända upp och ner på våra demokratier. För vad händer när storföretagen bestämmer sig för att bli centralbanker?

Our guest on this episode is Richard Holden, economics professor at the University of New South Wales Sydney author of a new book: Money in the 21st Century: Cheap, Mobile and Digital. Richard explains why the prospect of a private digital currency run by a company like Amazon or Google is a real possibility and why that would represent an enormous transfer of power from democratic governments to a private company. He also talks about China's digital currency, its vast user base in China and how it even has users in Australia. Richard believes the US should proactively head off the threat from these digital competitors by creating ‘fedcoin' - a digital currency managed by the Federal Reserve. He believes it could be done with little disruption to consumers and could bring enormous benefits. -----EXCEPTIONAL RESOURCE: Find Out How to Build a Safer & Better Performing Portfolio using this FREE NEW Portfolio Builder Tool-----Follow Niels on Twitter, LinkedIn, YouTube or via the TTU website.IT's TRUE ? – most CIO's read 50+ books each year – get your FREE copy of the Ultimate Guide to the Best Investment Books ever written here.And you can get a free copy of my latest book “Ten Reasons to Add Trend Following to Your Portfolio” here.Learn more about the Trend Barometer here.Send your questions to info@toptradersunplugged.comAnd please share this episode with a like-minded friend and leave an honest Rating & Review on iTunes or Spotify so more people can discover the podcast.Follow Kevin on SubStack & read his Book.Follow Richard on Twitter and read his book.Episode TimeStamps: 02:04 - Introduction to Richard Holden06:06 - A whole year without cash08:08 - What are the benefits of cash?12:40 - The implications of a cashless society23:53 - A big hurdle26:04 - Building a better mouse trap28:08 - Dealing...

The Academy of Ideas team discuss the latest in the General Election campaign - plus a view from Europe. Just when you think things couldn't get any worse for the Conservative Party, its leader - Rishi Sunak - managed to mess up on an international scale. The prime minister's decision to leave D-Day commemorations early - allegedly returning home for a TV interview - has upset many people, including his own colleagues. While Sunak immediately apologised for what he described as a scheduling issue, it doesn't seem to have quelled disquiet within the party - or consternation among voters. Meanwhile, both Labour and the Tories have been scrambling to select seats. The deselection of Labour's Faiza Shaheen and the parachuting in of the Tories' Richard Holden both caused problems among local party supporters. And who could forget Nigel Farage who, like a twist in an Agatha Christie novel, announced that he will stand in Clacton to the sound of Conservative sighs nationwide. But does this mean that Reform poses a serious threat to the Tories? And, while much of the European media is reporting a rightward shift in this week's European elections, will that prophecy come true? Or will the trend of fickle voters prove yet again that trying to predict elections is a mug's game? Listen to all of this and more on our latest episode in our General Election Podcast of Ideas specials, and subscribe to our Substack: clairefox.substack.com/subscribe

Rishi Sunak accused Keir Starmer of planning to put people's taxes up by £2,000 if he got into power - sums he said had been independently verified. This morning we learned they werent, after a top civil servant put the record straight. Labour are calling the PM a liar (he repeated his claim 11 times), but the Tories are standing by their figure - and say all's fair in love and campaign war. We discuss what TV debates do for viewers' understanding of policy, and find out what voters in Leigh took away from the TV clash. Later, Richard Holden, the actual Tory chairman, seems to be vacating one seat and parachuting himself into a safer one down south.

In the latest episode of the New Money Review podcast I'm joined by someone who says we're in the middle of a historic battle between the public and private sector over money. And it's one the state can't afford to lose, he argues. Our future global money will be digital, cheap and mobile, says Richard Holden, professor of economics at the University of New South Wales, Sydney, Australia, but it may be issued by a tech giant or an emerging economy rather than the Federal Reserve, European Central Bank or Bank of England. And that right to issue money will confer massive power on the winner of the digital currency race.In his new book, “Money In the 21st Century”, Holden makes a passionate defence of state money and says the US central bank should get its act together and start issuing its own digital money, which he calls Fedcoin.In the podcast, we cover:Why should we go cashless?What about those who rely on physical cash?How should we go cashless?Why is it a problem if a private currency wins the digital currency race?Why should the US issue a “Fedcoin”?Aren't faster payment systems enough?What did we learn from Facebook's digital currency experiment?China, the US and the geopolitics of digital moneyThe future role of the banking system
Richard Holden, Author, Money in the 21st Century: Cheap, Mobile and DigitalRichard Holden is Professor of Economics at UNSW Business School (Sydney) and author of Money in the 21st Century – a new book that delves into the micro and macroeconomic impacts of the way money and finances are changing and will continue to evolve in the decades to come. What does it mean for your wallet, the money in your wallet and for blockchain and for economies. How will the race for control of new currencies play out, how it will change how banks and governments operate? Robin Amlôt of IBS Intelligence talks to author Richard Holden.
Hydrogen has long been touted as a potential wonder gas that could play a significant role in our race to net zero. Now, planning permission has been granted for the UK's largest production hub of its kind, and one of the most advanced in the world. Located in Cheshire, it bills itself as a vital piece of Northwest England's mission to help manufacturers in the region decarbonise their processes and support UK jobs. We speak to chemical engineer and the plant's site manager, Richard Holden, and we also catch up with Mark Miodownik, Professor of Materials and Society at University College London, about hydrogen and our future energy economy. Almost 25 years ago, Dr Marc Lammers stumbled across a mystery. The humpback whale singing he was recording via an underwater microphone near the shore was quieter during the day than at night. But he wasn't able to answer why. Many years later, a PhD student, Anke Kuegler, joined his research team and took on the task of uncovering what was really going on. Using multiple ways of listening to and tracking the whales, she found out that the singing humpbacks were moving off-shore during the day, and closer to shore at night. Part of the mystery was solved, but it raised an even bigger question: what is driving this behaviour? Plus, a recent study has shown that terrestrial hermit crabs around the world are using non-organic materials, like plastic bottle caps, as their homes. Professor Marta Szulkin and her team at the University of Warsaw looked through social media photographs and videos (known as iEcology, or Internet Ecology) to find evidence for this new behaviour. Marta has theories about why the crabs are doing this, but it will take many years of research to uncover the long-term effects on hermit crab populations and their evolutionary trajectory. And, resident materials expert, Mark Miodownik, chats to Viv about what we can, and cannot, solve about the global plastic emergency.

Evergrande used to be a market giant, and now it's become the poster child of the bust. It received a liquidation order from a Hong Kong court on Monday two years after officially defaulting on public debt. Its collapse is the largest in a crisis that's dragged down China's economic growth and led to a record number of defaults by developers. What is this firm, who is it run by and how did Evergrande become the most significant domino in this event?

2024 is shaping up as the Year of the e-CNY, but can China be trusted with a global reserve CBDC? Our last guest Richard Holden says no. Cashless author Richard Turrin offers a full-throated reply, saying the rise of the digital Yuan is a lack of trust in the US dollar and how the US uses its power. We also discuss how formalised data markets will change how fintechs obtain and use data, and how 2024 will be the year when Chinese fintech products and services will continue their slow global expansion.

There is pressure on both the Conservatives and Labour to review their climate commitments following the Conservative win in the Uxbridge by-election - where the upcoming extension of London's Ultra Low Emission Zone was one of the big issues. But the government is currently sticking to its plan, supported by Labour, to ban sales of new petrol and diesel cars from 2030, with the sales of hybrid cars to be stopped from 2035. So, can we meet the target in time? In a letter to the prime minister, a group of 43 Conservative MPs wrote the policy was 'unnecessary and unworkable'. They asked him to re-think the 2030 deadline, which comes five years before the EU ban, and warned it risked doing harm to the economy. Fans of EVs have also raised concerns over the ban - are there enough charging points, and enough energy for those charging points, and if the government says goodbye to fuel tax, then how does it make up for it? Today's Justin Webb speaks to Stuart Adam, senior economist at the IFS, Mike Hawes, the chief executive of the Society of Motor Manufacturers and Traders, Ken McMeikan, CEO of Moto Services, and Richard Holden, the Transport Minister. They spoke to Justin about whether EVs are accessible to everybody, if the national grid can support the change to EVs, and the price disparity between charging a car at home and at public charging points.

The Reserve Bank of Australia will meet tomorrow to decide if inflation has started to come down enough to not call for another rate rise or at least leave them on hold for this month. But while we were delivered seemingly good news about inflation recently, the numbers aren't exactly what they seem and that will play a big factor in whether home and business owners will be expected to fork out even more when it comes to mortgage payment time. Today we're speaking to economist Richard Holden about the chances of yet another rate rise. Subscribe to Mamamia GET IN TOUCH Feedback? We're listening!

More than 21 million people provide unpaid care for millions of people living with dementia in the U.S. With input from caregivers, researchers from Regenstrief Institute, Indiana University, the University of Wisconsin, and Purdue University are developing and testing Helping the Helpers, a user-centered, evidence-based app to support dementia caregivers as they help manage medications -- very often multiple drugs for various conditions -- of individuals who cannot do so independently.

Capitalism is in crisis. Inequality is rising and climate change means we need to make drastic changes to the way we do business. The COVID-19 pandemic, too, has exposed numerous flaws in our current systems. But is capitalism dead, or can we re-imagine it in a way that will keep society prosperous, promote social justice and re-green our planet? As calls for radical change grow, French economist Philippe Aghion believes that we don't need to throw the baby out with the bath water. He argues it's possible to create a better capitalism by harnessing the power of creative destruction – the process by which new innovations continually emerge and render existing technologies obsolete. Listen to Philippe Aghion in conversation with UNSW economist Richard Holden as they discuss how the transformation of capitalism can achieve a more sustainable and inclusive prosperity, and how this might impact on politics and democracy.

French economist Thomas Piketty has fundamentally changed the way we understand inequality. His global bestseller 'Capital in the Twenty-First Century' brought the phenomenon of rising inequality to our attention and highlighted its economic basis. Piketty's latest book, 'Capital and Ideology', takes the discussion even further to examine inequality as a political phenomenon, shaped by ideology and social institutions. What are the ideologies that have created our current age of inequality, and what are the risks this age poses? What would need to happen for change to occur? Join Thomas Piketty in conversation with UNSW's Richard Holden, as they explore the political basis of inequality in our hypercapitalist age.
Historically, consulting firms haven't always been seen as attractive investment vehicles for private equity. As organisations whose success depends primarily on their human capital, consulting firms can be harder to properly value than many other businesses. And the nature of project-based work can lead to unpredictable cashflows—not something that many investors are looking for. But recently, something seems to have changed; private equity investors are taking a closer look at the sector, and that's led to a number of high profile deals in the past few years. In this episode, we're joined by Richard Holden—a partner at the investment bank Alantra—to explore the reasons behind that shift, and what it will mean for the future of consulting.

With three months before JobSeeker is due to end and calls for billions of dollars in extra spending, there is a growing debate about how Australia’s post-coronavirus economy will actually look. While Scott Morrison has said Australia will need to lift economic growth by “more than one percentage point above trend” through to 2025, a 22-economist panel hosted by The Conversation forecast a bleaker result. Growth one percentage point above trend would average almost 4% per year. The Conversation’s economic panel forecast an annual growth averaging 2.4% over the next four years, much less than the long-term trend. In this podcast, Michelle Grattan discusses the economic pathway ahead with two economists featured on the panel: Professor of Economics at the UNSW Business School Richard Holden, and Professor of Economics and Public Policy at the Australian National University Warwick McKibbin. McKibbin argues for a major change to the national cabinet. “I think it would be very useful if the leader of the opposition was on that cabinet, and perhaps even a couple of the key ministerial portfolios from the opposition side, so that you truly have… both sides of the political spectrum represented.” Making the body more inclusive, McKibbin says, would assist a bipartisan approach. “If you are going to go for the big bipartisan approach, which I think is fundamental to most of the problems we face, you have to do something like the national cabinet,” he said. “It worked very effectively during the worst parts of the virus, it is breaking down now it appears, because Australians seem to think things are okay now. But I think you’ll see it re-emerge very shortly.” Richard Holden warns an increase in taxation should not be contemplated to pay for some of the large spend the COVID crisis is requiring. “I don’t think there will be an increase in taxation under this government, and I definitely don’t think there should be under any government,” he says. “The coalition has made the debt and deficits mantra part of their political brand, and I understand that from a political perspective. And there’s nothing wrong with aspiring to balancing the budget over the economic cycle.” “But when you’re in one of the largest economic crises in a hundred years, it is not the time to be penny-pinching and focusing on economic management credentials as measured by the budget bottom line in the short term.”

For Australians, the end of the Covid-19 lockdown is in sight, and a return to some semblance of normalcy is on the horizon. As our focus shifts from the virus and its immediate impact to social recovery, the economy will take centre stage. The government has a once in a lifetime opportunity to rebuild our economy, and they are not short of advice. Which direction will they choose? Is it time for ambitious market reforms, or to maintain the social safety net that has won them so many new fans? Is there a chance of a fairer nation, or are we looking down the barrel of post-pandemic austerity? Join a panel of our most interesting economists and commentators, Joshua Gans, Richard Holden, Judith Sloan and Jennifer Hewett (chair) to tackle the big questions we need to answer if we are to make the best economic recovery that we can.

The Modi government is getting rid of RS500 and RS1,000 notes to try and combat the black market and corruption. STR/EPADoing away with big currency notes is a movement that is picking up all over the world, says Kaushik Basu, a professor of economics at Cornell University. While it may be a good idea in theory for tackling tax evasion and the black market in Australia, he says policymakers have to be cautious in implementing it. Basu, a former economic adviser to the Indian government and chief economist at the World Bank, says the policy is an ineffective tool in India. India’s Modi government recently decided to demonetise RS500 and RS1,000 notes, giving citizens until December 31 to change them. It was designed to target corruption, the black market and tax evasion, but Basu says it could potentially hamper the country’s growth and have a disproprtionate negative effect on the poor and lower middle class. Basu also weighed into the ongoing debate on addressing inequality in various economies around the world while still looking for economic growth. While growth is still important for economies catching up like India, some growth can be sacrificed to redistribute profit, he notes. He argues policymakers, including in Australia, need to stop tinkering around the edges and come up with big ideas. Basu uses the example of profit sharing, where a pool of some share of all profits, for example 10%, goes straight to the workers.

Commonwealth Bank of Australia CEO Ian Narev attends the parliamentary inquiry into the banking system. AAP Image/Lukas CochAustralian banks have been under intense scrutiny this year after various scandals called into question the culture of the industry. But it seems there’s no easy answer to improving culture. Professor Paul Kofman from Melbourne University was a panellist at an event discussing this exact issue. He says the heart of the problem is the lack of evidence for what types of cultural interventions translate into good business outcomes. Kofman says bank executives can’t ignore culture anymore because their jobs are on the line, but he also notes they aren’t trained sociologists, so they might not notice problems in culture when they occur. Instead of looking at the conduct of employees when trying to improve culture, the focus should instead be on the customer and if they are being best served, most of the panellists at the event agreed. In an industry that has changed a lot over time, Kofman isn’t convinced “big data” on its own will necessarily provide deeper insights into bank culture. He says as long as we’re not sure how to measure culture, having more observations won’t help. Kofman notes much of the exciting data analytics are in fact generated by new financial operators (for example in financial technology and offshore operators) that are currently outside the scope of our regulators. Also on the podcast this week, Richard Holden tackles a question about how low borrowing rates affect demand and investment for Ask an Economist.
Australia and Poland could adopt similar policies to protect against economic shocks from China and the EU, respectively. Kacper Pempel/ReutersAndrzej Rzonca, a Professor of Economics at the Warsaw School of Economics and member of the Monetary Policy Committee at Poland’s central bank, is visiting Australia at the moment. He’s here to learn more about our monetary policy woes but to share his views on Brexit and the ever growing tension between the United Kingdom and other members of the European Union. Despite the differences between Poland and Australia, Rzonca says there are a lot of similarities: both countries managed to get through the financial crisis without too much damage but both are now vulnerable to external economic shocks, Poland through its open economy and Australia from its exposure to China. Rzonca’s advice on improving Australia’s resilience to economic shocks is for the government to return public finances to a situation similar to that of before the global financial crisis. His says the type of unconventional monetary policy that some countries have come to expect (such as quantitative easing) was helpful during the global financial crisis to support banks, but it’s now stifling the productivity and innovation needed for growth. This low growth is contributing to inequality between EU states because poorer countries have been growing slower than richer ones, Rzonca says. While this requires policy reforms, thepolitical environment in Europe is not conducive to this. In this podcast Rzonca refers to the Australian federal reserve, this is the Reserve Bank of Australia. Also in this podcast in Ask an Economist, Richard Holden answers a question on what unemployment figures really tell us.
