(You can find a transcript here)Isaac Merritt Singer, the "father of the sewing machine" , was a larger-than-life character whose life was as dramatic as the stages he loved to tread. Born in 1811, Singer's early passion was acting, but he was also a shrewd entrepreneur and inventor. After running away to join an acting troupe at age twelve , he later used his machinist skills to invent a rock-drilling machine and then a wood-carving machine.His greatest success came in 1851 with his improved sewing machine. Despite early legal battles and the "Sewing Machine War" over patents , Singer became the world's largest manufacturer by 1860. He pioneered mass production, international manufacturing, and marketing techniques like instalment plans and attractive showrooms. This is the story of the entrepreneur, actor, and innovator who transformed a simple piece of equipment into a global industrial and social phenomenon

Het zit nog altijd tegen bij Apple, maar het kan nu een klein succesje noteren. De fans stonden ouderwets weer voor de deur van de Applestores om als eerste een van de nieuwe iPhone te bemachtigen. Kan dat de weg terug omhoog inzetten voor het bedrijf? Dat gaan we deze aflevering voor je uitzoeken. Verder hoef je niet meer op Italië te letten als je op zoek bent naar een Europese zondebok. Het land krijgt een upgrade van kredietbeoordelaar Fitch en met een begrotingstekort ver onder het Franse mag Giorgia Meloni trots zijn op haar huishoudboekje. Goed nieuws voor de banken in het land, die volgens Bob Homan van ING Investment Office nog best een ritje te maken hebben. Verder bespreken we de steeds vriendelijker beurswaakhond SEC die deze week meerdere keren de kop op stak. Wat betekent een toezichthouder die met bedrijfsbesturen knuffelt voor beleggers? En waar heb je meer aan: een waakhond, of een schoothondje? En we blikken terug op de week met de Chinese aanval op Nvidia, een teleurgestelde Mario Draghi, en de eerste renteverlaging van het jaar in de VS.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
