Since the dawn of the Industrial Revolution, capitalism has unleashed unimaginable growth in opportunity and prosperity. And yet, at key points in American history, economic disruption has led to a greater role for government, ostensibly to protect against capitalism's excesses. Today, government regulates, mandates, subsidizes and controls a growing share of the American economy. Today on the show, retired U.S. Senator Phil Gramm, one of America's premier public policy advocates, and noted economist Donald J. Boudreaux look at the seven events and issues in American history that define, for most Americans, the role of government and how the 21st century world works. To many, these 5 periods of American history—the Industrial Revolution, Progressive Era, Great Depression, decline of America's postwar preeminence in world trade, and the Great Recession—along with the existing levels of income inequality and poverty, represent strong evidence for expanding government in American life. Gramm and Boudreaux argue that the evidence might point to a contrary verdict. Phil Gramm served six years in the U.S. House of Representatives and eighteen years in the U.S. Senate where he was Chairman of the Banking Committee. Gramm is a Visiting Scholar at the American Enterprise Institute. He was Vice Chairman of UBS Investment Bank and is now Vice Chairman of Lone Star Funds. He taught Economics at Texas A&M University and has published numerous articles and books. Donald J. Boudreaux is an American economist, author, professor, and co-director of the Program on the American Economy and Globalization at the Mercatus Center at George Mason University in Fairfax, Virginia. His writings have appeared in The New York Times, Wall Street Journal, Investor's Business Daily, The Washington Times, and many scholarly publications. Their new book is The Triumph of Economic Freedom: Debunking the Seven Great Myths of American Capitalism.

Chinese policymakers will likely adopt a more pro-growth stance and strengthen "extraordinary countercyclical measures" to spur the economy amid pressing challenges from sluggish domestic demand and external uncertainties, economists said.经济学家表示，面对国内需求疲软、外部不确定性等紧迫挑战，中国政策制定者可能会采取更加倾向于经济增长的立场，并加强“超常规逆周期调节”以刺激经济。They anticipate a new round of stimulus packages focusing on driving domestic demand and boosting consumption to address domestic structural issues, offset the rising headwinds from a grimmer global environment and foster sustainable, high-quality growth in the long run.他们预计，新一轮刺激计划将侧重于拉动内需、促进消费，解决国内结构性问题，抵消全球环境恶化带来的日益加剧的逆风，促进长期的、可持续的高质量增长。The economists also said they believe that measures in the pipeline may include more public borrowing and spending, with a growing shift of policy emphasis to consumption, enhanced financial support for low-income households, and increased spending on the property sector through the buying back of land or by helping developers finish presold homes.经济学家还表示，他们认为即将出台的措施可能包括增加财政支出、政策重点逐渐转向消费、加强对低收入家庭的财政支持、通过回购土地或帮助开发商完成预售房屋来增加房地产行业支出。Their comments came as the market is closely watching how China will draw up growth targets and policies to revive the world's second-largest economy when China's top legislative and political advisory bodies meet for the annual two sessions in early March.这些评论发表之际，中国即将在3月初召开全国两会，而市场正密切关注中国会如何制定增长目标和政策，重振世界第二大经济体。Noting that the broader economy is still facing pressures from a harsher external environment and still-weak domestic demand, Sun Xuegong, director of the department of policy study and consultation at the Chinese Academy of Macroeconomic Research, said that policymakers will likely introduce a package of stimulus measures aimed at boosting market confidence and stabilizing expectations. The academy is part of the National Development and Reform Commission, the country's top economic regulator.中国宏观经济研究院决策咨询部主任孙学工指出，当前经济仍面临外部环境恶化、内需持续疲软的压力，政策制定者可能会推出一系列刺激措施，提振市场信心、稳定市场预期。中国宏观经济研究院是中国最高经济管理部门国家发展和改革委员会的直属研究机构。As authorities pledged to implement extraordinary countercyclical policies this year, Sun highlighted the need to expand fiscal expenditure, with policy focus shifting to spurring consumption.孙学工强调，由于政府已承诺今年实施超常规逆周期政策，有必要扩大财政支出，将政策重点转向刺激消费。"We need a comprehensive policy mix to boost consumption," Sun said in an interview with China Daily. "The government has already announced raising the pension level and providing subsidies to the low-income group. And this year, the country will extend the program of trade-in deals for consumer goods and expand the scope to more fields of consumption."孙学工在接受《中国日报》采访时表示：“我们需要一套综合政策来提振消费。政府已经宣布提高养老金水平，为低收入群体提供补贴。今年，中国还将延长消费品以旧换新计划，并将范围扩大到更多消费领域。”With a series of existing policies taking effect gradually and more supportive measures in the pipeline, Sun said he expects to see a pickup in consumption.孙学工表示，随着一系列现有政策逐步生效，更多支持性措施即将出台，预计消费将有所回升。At a study session held last week by the State Council, China's Cabinet, Premier Li Qiang emphasized boosting consumption and improving people's livelihoods through stronger and more targeted measures, in a bid to strengthen the fundamental role of consumption in driving economic development.2月21日，国务院常务会议召开。会议上，国务院总理李强强调，要通过更有力、更有针对性的措施提振消费、改善民生，增强消费在推动经济发展中的基础性作用。Wang Tao, chief China economist at UBS Investment Bank, said her team expects the government to ramp up fiscal spending to support consumption and the household sector, including more than doubling the size of the trade-in program to over 300 billion yuan ($41.3 billion), creating a subsidy program for families with young children, and increasing the payout level of residents' basic pension and the government contribution to basic social insurance.瑞银证券中国首席经济学家汪涛表示，我们团队预计政府将加大对消费及居民部门的财政支出，包括将消费品以旧换新规模扩大一倍以上至3000亿元人民币（413亿美元）、设立生育和育儿补贴计划、提高城乡居民基础养老金支付水平及政府对基本社保的财政补助水平。"These much-anticipated measures could gradually help underpin household confidence and unleash consumption potential in the long run," Wang said.汪涛表示：“这些市场期待已久的措施有助于逐步提振居民信心、释放长期消费增长潜力。”On the monetary front, Wang said she anticipates that the two sessions will follow the "moderately loose" monetary policy tone set during the Central Economic Work Conference in December, with an explicit call for lowering the funding cost of corporate financing and household credit, cutting reserve requirement ratios and policy rates and enhancing counter cyclical adjustments.汪涛表示，在货币政策方面，她预计两会或将维持2024年12月中央经济工作会议所提出的“适度宽松”的货币政策基调，包括明确要求降低企业融资及居民信贷成本、下调存款准备金率及政策利率、加强逆周期调节。Tian Xuan, associate dean of Tsinghua University's PBC School of Finance, said this year's economic growth target will likely remain at "around 5 percent", the same as last year, reflecting the continuity and consistency of policies and aligning with the country's aspiration that its per capita GDP would reach the level of a moderately developed economy by 2035.清华大学五道口金融学院副院长田轩表示，今年的经济增长目标可能仍保持与去年持平的“5%左右”，体现政策的连续性和一致性，符合中国到2035年人均国内生产总值达到中等发达国家水平的愿望。The expectation of an unchanged growth target comes as China's major economic hubs, such as Beijing and Shanghai as well as Guangdong province, have announced GDP growth goals of around 5 percent for the year.北京、上海、广东等中国主要经济中心已宣布今年GDP增长目标为5%左右，因此预期今年经济增长目标不变。"It would be a goal that we need to strive for and reach with extra effort, which can effectively inspire all the people across the country to work hard together," said Tian, who expects this year's budget deficit-to-GDP ratio to increase to 4 percent or higher.田轩预计今年财政赤字率将提高至4%或以上，他表示：“这将是一个我们需要争取并付出额外努力才能实现的目标，可以有效激励全国人民共同努力。”Lu Ting, chief China economist at Nomura, said a higher fiscal deficit ratio would allow the central government to issue more bonds, ramp up transfers to local governments and alleviate fiscal pressures.野村证券中国区首席经济学家陆挺表示，增加财政赤字率可以让中央政府发行更多债券，增加给地方政府的转移支付，缓解财政压力。Lu said the fiscal stimulus package will likely focus on areas including funding for a trade-in program for equipment upgrades and consumer goods, spending on the property sector through the buying back of land or by helping developers finish presold homes, and financial support for low-income households as well as funding to encourage childbirth.陆挺表示，财政刺激计划可能重点关注以下几个领域：为设备升级和消费品以旧换新计划提供资金；通过回购土地或帮助开发商完成预售房屋来增加房地产行业的支出；为低收入家庭提供财政支持；为鼓励生育提供资金。"The Chinese economy may get off to a relatively good start.…We expect year-on-year real GDP growth to stay at 5 percent in the first quarter," he said.他表示：“中国经济可能迎来一个相对良好的开局……我们预计第一季度实际GDP同比增长率将保持在5%。”The breakthrough of China's homegrown artificial intelligence model DeepSeek has triggered a stock rally that may boost investment and consumption, while the expansion of the trade-in program is stimulating sales of digital goods, he added.他补充说，中国自主研发的人工智能模型DeepSeek的突破性成果引发股市上涨，这可能会促进投资和消费，而扩大以旧换新范围也在刺激数码产品的销售。explicitadj.清楚明白的；明确的

As there have been more signs recently of a bull run in the A-share market, including soaring indexes and the stratospheric level of the trading volume, more economic stimulus policies as well as investors' patience are equally important to further consolidate the upward trend of Chinese equities, said experts.专家表示，由于近期A股市场已出现诸多牛市到来的迹象，比如指数飙升、交易量达到历史最高水平，要进一步巩固中国股市的上升趋势，十分需要更多的经济刺激政策和投资者的耐心。Resuming after the National Day holiday, the benchmark Shanghai Composite Index gained 4.59 percent to close at 3489.78 points on Tuesday, while the Shenzhen Component Index surged 9.17 percent. The technology-focused ChiNext in Shenzhen spiked 17.25 percent. Semiconductor, software development and securities companies led Tuesday's rally.国庆长假后复盘，上证综指10月8日涨4.59%、报3489.78点，深证成指涨9.17%，创业板指涨17.25%，半导体、软件开发和证券公司引领了该日涨势。The combined trading value at the Shanghai and Shenzhen bourses stood at 3.45 trillion yuan ($490 billion) on Tuesday, surpassing the previous record of 2.6 trillion yuan on Sept 30, the last trading day before the holiday.10月8日，沪深两市成交额达3.45万亿元（约4900亿美元），刷新了节前最后一个交易日9月30日创下的2.6万亿元成交金额历史纪录。The A-share market's rally on Tuesday came as officials of the National Development and Reform Commission, China's top economic regulator, said on the same day that the country will launch a batch of incremental policies to promote the sustained economic recovery and development.10月8日，中国最高经济监管机构——国家发展改革委表示，将加力推出一揽子增量政策，推动经济持续回升向好。同日，A股市场反弹。"China is confident of maintaining steady and healthy economic growth and achieve the full-year growth target," said Zheng Shanjie, head of the NDRC, at a news conference on Tuesday, adding that more efforts will be made to strengthen the countercyclical adjustments for macroeconomic policies.“我们对实现全年经济社会发展目标任务充满信心，对保持经济社会持续平稳健康发展充满信心。”国家发展改革委主任郑栅洁10月8日在国新办新闻发布会上表示，将加大宏观政策逆周期调节。The incremental policies released in late September attached greater importance to improving the quality of economic growth, supporting the real economy, facilitating the sound development of market entities, and coordinating high-quality development and high-level security, he said.郑栅洁介绍，9月下旬起发布的一揽子增量政策更加注重提高经济发展质量，更加注重支持实体经济和经营主体健康发展，更加注重统筹高质量发展和高水平安全。Since Sept 24, the country's top regulators have come up with supportive measures covering the financial sector, the property market, and support to the real economy, among others.自9月24日以来，国家最高监管机构已陆续出台了涵盖金融业、房地产市场和支持实体经济等方面的支持措施。The measures will be better used to spur more development potential and better achieve this year's growth target, said Zheng.郑栅洁表示，这些措施将更好地激发更多发展潜力，推动实现今年的增长目标。Meanwhile, continued efforts will be made to boost the capital market, according to Zheng. More effective and comprehensive measures will be introduced to vigorously guide the inflow of long-term capital. Blockages preventing the smoother entry of social security funds, as well as insurance and wealth management funds into the capital market should be removed.与此同时，郑栅洁强调，将继续努力提振资本市场。有关部门将采取有力有效的综合措施，大力引导中长期资金入市，打通社保、保险、理财等资金入市堵点。Public companies will be supported in mergers and acquisitions as well as restructuring. The reform of mutual funds should be advanced steadily, and efforts will be made to promulgate measures to protect individual investors, said Zheng, noting that these policies will be released at a faster pace.支持上市公司并购重组，稳步推进公募基金改革，研究出台保护中小投资者的政策措施。郑栅洁指出，目前各项政策正在加快推出。Liu Gang, managing director of China International Capital Corp, said the measures announced in September had exceeded market expectations and rekindled investors' passion, emphasizing the financial measures' support for the stock market.中金公司研究部董事总经理刘刚强调了金融措施对股市的支持。9月份公布的各项政策超出市场预期，重新点燃了投资者的热情。These have served as a driver for the recent bullish performance of the A-share market. But the market's future performance will be determined by the pace and scale of successive policies, especially fiscal policies, Liu said.刘刚表示，这些都是近期A股市场“走牛”的驱动力。但市场未来的表现将取决于后续政策的步伐和规模，尤其是财政政策。Luo Zhiheng, chief economist at Yuekai Securities, said that fiscal and property market policies should better coordinate with the recently released monetary policies to stabilize investors' confidence and expectations. Increasing the scale of this year's budget deficit, accelerating the issuance of special bonds, granting subsidies to special groups of people and the issuance of additional treasury bonds can be possible options in terms of supportive fiscal measures, he said.粤开证券首席经济学家罗志恒表示，财政政策和楼市政策应更好地配合近期发布的货币政策，以稳定投资者的信心和预期。在支持性财政措施方面，增加今年的预算赤字规模、加快发行专项债券、对特殊人群发放补贴、增发国债等都是可能的选择。China may adopt moderate fiscal stimulus of about 1.5 to 2 trillion yuan in the short term, which is also a reasonable level, said Wang Tao, chief China economist at UBS Investment Bank.瑞银亚洲经济研究主管及首席中国经济学家汪涛表示，更为合理的预期是短期内政府出台1.5-2万亿元较为温和的财政刺激政策。Chen Guo, chief strategist at China Securities, said that the Chinese stock market's recent bullish performance is supported by the revaluation of Chinese assets and recovered confidence. But a well-grounded overall bull run still needs time, especially the further improvement of economic fundamentals. Investors should have patience for the medium term, he said.中信建投证券首席策略官陈果表示，中国股市近期的牛市迹象得益于中国资产价值重估和信心的恢复。但全面牛市启动仍需要时间，特别是经济发展基本面的进一步改善，投资者应葆有耐心。Noting that the A-share market will enter a period of sustainable growth in the medium term, during which fluctuations cannot be avoided, Zhang Qiyao, chief strategist at Industrial Securities, said there is still room for a rise in the short run. Investors should watch for how long the bullish trend will last rather than focus on short-term peaks, he said.兴业证券首席策略分析师张启尧表示，A股市场将进入中期持续增长期，期间难免出现波动，但短期内仍有上涨空间。相较于关注短期高峰，投资者更应关注牛市趋势将持续多久。In a report released on Monday, analysts from Goldman Sachs raised 10 reasons to increase exposure to A-shares, including strong economic stimulus, upbeat investors' mood, undervalued Chinese equities, companies' improving earnings and a relaxed external environment.在10月7日发布的研报中，高盛分析师提出了看涨中国股市的十大理由，其中包括强劲的经济刺激、上升的投资者情绪、中国股票估值仍有折价、企业盈利前景改善以及宽松的外部环境。consolidatev. 巩固；加强；合并spikev. 飙升，上涨stratosphericadj. 平流层的；高层次的incrementaladj. 增加的，增量的bullishadj. 股票行情看涨的；乐观的

The sizzle has come off of China's decades of economic growth, as the country contends with deflation, slumping consumer confidence, plummeting foreign investment, a cratered urban property sector, high local government debt, overcapacity in manufacturing, and a private sector cowed by government crackdowns, as well as a shrinking workforce and an aging population.For all that, China is still the world's second largest economy, the largest trading partner of most of the world's countries, and one of the world's biggest bilateral lenders. And China listed its economic growth rate in 2023 as a respectable 5.2 percent, causing more than one economist to raise a eyebrow.  How to make sense of all this, and get an idea of what China's options are to sustain a future path of comfortable economic growth?  Settle back, put your earbuds in, and listen as the two respected China-born economists in this episode lay out the challenges, choices, and possibilities that could shape China's future.Tao Wang, author of Making Sense of China's Economy  (2023) is chief China economist, managing director, and Head of Asia Economic Research at UBS Investment Bank in Hong Kong, and was formerly an economist at the International Monetary Fund.  Her research on China covers a wide range of topics including monetary policy, the debt problem, shadow banking, local government finance, US-China trade disputes, supply chain shifts, RMB internationalization, the property bubble, the demographic challenge, the urban-rural divide, and the long-term growth potential. Dr. Wang has been consistently ranked as one of the top China economists by institutional investors.

As the leader of Dynasty Financial Partners' Investment Banking division, Harris brings over 15 years of financial services experience to the table. His career journey is marked by significant achievements, including a successful stint at UBS Investment Bank, where he played a pivotal role as an Executive Director in the Financial Institutions Group. During his time at UBS, he was instrumental in originating, leading, and executing strategic M&A and capital market transactions exceeding $10 billion, specifically focusing on the asset and wealth management industry. I'm excited to share Harris' expertise with you, while discussing the evolving landscape of RIA M&A, as well as discussing equity, industry skepticisms, and what the future looks to have in store for the space. THE SHIFT TO INORGANIC GROWTH STRATEGIESThere is an important mindset shift necessary for advisors moving from organic to inorganic growth strategies. This shift often happens internally, for example, when an advisor excels and seeks equity in the firm, leading CEOs to seek valuation guidance. Other times, it's about friendly deals between neighboring RIAs or advisors seeking to join a former colleague's firm. Organic growth, characterized by internally driven expansion such as acquiring new clients or increasing assets under management, is a familiar terrain for most advisors. The shift to inorganic growth, however, such as mergers and acquisitions (M&A), requires a different strategic approach and mindset. Inorganic growth often involves complex negotiations, valuations, and integration processes that aren't typically encountered in organic expansion. THE VALUE OF EQUITY IN M&A TRANSACTIONSHarris also touched on the critical role of equity in M&A transactions. In a high interest rate market, cash is king, but equity can be an even more valuable currency. This is especially true when smaller firms merge with larger ones, allowing for a 'second transaction' opportunity as the larger entity grows and scales. The successful realization of value from equity stakes in M&A transactions relies not only on the timing and execution of the initial deal, but determining whether these equity stakes can be monetized profitable also relies on: The ongoing performance and strategic direction of the merged entity The overall health of the industry Market conditions The strategic decisions made post-merger INDUSTRY SKEPTICISMWhile optimistic about the future, Harris also acknowledged the skepticism surrounding the industry, citing examples like Focus Financial and United Capital. The success or failure of equity models in the RIA space will largely depend on how these transactions are structured and the strategic decisions of the firms involved. He suggests that a careful approach, focusing on long-term value rather than short-term gains, will be crucial for the success of these equity plays.

Live—from the campus of Hillsdale College in beautiful Hillsdale Michigan— this is Scot Bertram in for Steve on the Steve Gruber Show for –Wednesday November 15th 2023—   —Here are 3 big things you need to know—   Three—  The Federal Reserve will likely start cutting interest rates this spring.  That's according to a new estimate from UBS Investment Bank. The cuts could come as early as March. UBS said easing inflation could pave a way for a two-point-seven-five percent decrease in the interest rate over the year. That would almost halve the current nearly five-and-a-half percent rate.   Two—  Michigan Court of Claims judge has ruled former President Donald Trump will be on the ballot for the Republican primary in the state.  Opponents tried to use a Civil War-era constitutional clause to keep Trump off as they cited the insurrection provision of the 14th Amendment.  Judge James Redford says Trump followed state law to qualify for the ballot and he cannot remove him.     And number one— The House has passed a stopgap bill that will prevent a government shutdown.  On Tuesday, the House voted in favor of a Republican plan to fund some departments until mid-January and the rest through early February at current spending levels

Welcome to Episode 8 of The Investment Banking Leaders Podcast, hosted by Altrum's Deal Toy Global Head, Peter Nieberg! Our mission is to connect as many of you with successful investment banking leaders as possible.  We can't believe we've reached the end of Series 1 already. Our final episode for this series features an amazing guest, Peter Shin, Managing Director at Stifel Financial Corporation in London. Peter has loads of impressive experience in the industry, starting his career off at UBS Investment Bank as an Analyst. After that, Peter worked his way up through different firms such as KPMG, Piper Jaffray, Nomura International, and Mooreland Partners, ultimately setting him up for success in his leadership role at Stifel. His rapid ascent to the top, going from Analyst to MD in just 11 years, showcases his determination and sheer talent in the industry.  If you're interested in hearing a fun fact about Peter, we have a great one for you. After competing in range shooting at university, Peter obtained a license to teach others how to shoot guns. While he doesn't use the license or practice often due to life getting in the way, he says it is quite a fun fact to bring up at client events!  All banks work differently, but Peter's advice for analysts is relevant to all. Trying to understand the big picture is key; don't let yourself get absorbed in the minutia of what you need to do without actually understanding why. This is not helpful for your career at all; there should be a healthy balance between the production and the understanding of a task! Another key tip, do your best to not get overwhelmed by the intensity of working on a specific deal. Spiraling with worry will only set you back further – try to see the light at the end of the tunnel, push through and give it your all!  If you'd like to learn more about Peter and get even more valuable career advice, press play for the final episode of Series 1 now!  ------------------------------------------------------------- The Investment Banking Leaders Podcast  Hosted by Peter Nieberg  Produced by Peter Nieberg and Brett Dayman  Edited by Natalia Revere

In this episode we chat to Spencer Cole, Chief Investment Officer for Vox Royalty who are a mining royalty company with a portfolio of over 60 royalties and streams spanning 8 jurisdictions. Since the beginning of 2020, Vox has announced over 25 separate transactions to acquire over 50 royalties. In the past 6 months alone Vox has dual listed on the NASDAQ exchange, launched a maiden dividend and announced +160% annual revenue growth. With a Masters of Engineering and a Bachelor of Commerce, Spencer co-founded Mineral Royalties Online (MRO), a specialist marketplace/brokerage for mineral royalties underpinned by developing the world's largest proprietary royalty database, which was subsequently sold to SilverStream in 2019. While at MRO, Spencer was involved in over $1 billion of royalty transactions. In addition to co-founding MRO, Spencer has spent over 10 years at BHP, South32 and UBS Investment Bank in a wide range of commercial and technical mining roles. Spencer gives us an update on VOX Royalty and give us a more in-depth understand of the royalty space and why data is becoming more important than ever within the mining industry. KEY TAKEAWAYS Toronto is the home of many mining companies, but the true understanding required for the industry is not quite there. The ASX continues to support African projects more, whereas the Toronto Stock Exchange and TSX venture support South American more consistently. Junior explorers have historically sold mining projects and kept a contract that gives them a future royalty scheme. There is a huge volume of data in the mining industry that is not being properly processed and evaluated. This is representative of the opportunity we have in the sector to find insight and benefit. Royalty a mainly North American-focussed sector. Most royalties are generated when businesses sell mining claims. There are simply more gold royalties in North America because it's a rich area in terms of gold. BEST MOMENTS 'I'm a reformed investment banker' 'There's a slight bias in terms of which geographies they'll allocate capital to' 'Toronto is a pretty fun place to live, particularly as a mining executive' 'We're typically finding these royalty contracts sitting in the hands of prospectors' 'The benefit of hindsight is always a double-edged sword' VALUABLE RESOURCES Dig Deep – The Mining Podcast on iTunes spencer@voxroyalty.com https://voxroyalty.com/ https://www.linkedin.com/company/voxroyalty/ https://twitter.com/vox_royalty VALUABLE RESOURCES mailto:rob@mining-international.org https://www.linkedin.com/in/rob-tyson-3a26a68/ http://www.mining-international.org https://twitter.com/MiningConsult https://www.facebook.com/MiningInternational.org https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC69dGPS29lmakv-D7LWJg_Q?guided_help_flow=3 ABOUT THE HOST Rob Tyson is the Founder and Director of Mining International Ltd, a leading global recruitment and headhunting consultancy based in the UK specialising in all areas of mining across the globe from first-world to third-world countries from Africa, Europe, the Middle East, Asia, and Australia.

Join the Hoover Book Club for engaging discussions with leading authors on the hottest policy issues of the day. Hoover scholars explore the latest books that delve into some of the most vexing policy issues facing the United States and the world. Find out what makes these authors tick and how they think we should approach our most difficult challenges. In our latest installment, we will feature a discussion between former Senator Phil Gramm, John Early and John B. Taylor the George P. Shultz Senior Fellow in Economics at the Hoover Institution on Senator Gramm's and Mr. Early's latest book The Myth of American Inequality: How Government Biases Policy Debate co-authored by Robert Ekelund.  ABOUT THE AUTHORS Senator Phil Gramm is an economist by training and has had a long and distinguished career in public service, academia and the private sector. Senator Gramm was the vice chairman of UBS Investment Bank, where he provided strategic economic, political and policy advice to important corporate and institutional clients. He served in the US Congress representing Texas for more than two decades, first as the 6th congressional district representative to the US House of Representatives, then later as senator. His legislative record includes landmark bills like the Gramm-Latta Budget – which reduced federal spending, rebuilt national defense and mandated the Reagan tax cut – and the Gramm-Rudman Act, which placed the first binding constraints on federal spending. As chairman of the Senate Banking Committee, Sen. Gramm steered legislation modernizing banking, insurance and securities laws. The Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act amended the 70-year-old Glass-Steagall Act,  allowing banks, security companies and insurance companies to affiliate through a financial services holding company.  Sen. Gramm taught economics at Texas A&M University for 12 years before becoming a member of Congress. He has published numerous articles and books on subjects ranging from private property, monetary theory and policy to the economics of mineral extraction. As a visiting scholar at AEI, he will be working on a comprehensive plan to fix the US economy through reform of the tax code and entitlement programs such as Social Security and Medicare. John F. Early is a mathematical economist, president of the consultancy Vital Few, LLC, and an adjunct scholar at the Cato Institute. Early has also served twice as assistant commissioner at the Bureau of Labor Statistics where he directed the statistical design, economic analysis, and survey operations for the Consumer Price Index (CPI), the Consumer Expenditure Survey (CES), Point of Purchase Survey (POPS), and estimates of pre‐retail price changes. ABOUT THE BOOK Everything you know about income inequality, poverty, and other measures of economic well-being in America is wrong. In this provocative book, a former United States senator, eminent economist, and a former senior leader at the Bureau of Labor Statistics challenge the prevailing consensus that income inequality is a growing threat to American society. By taking readers on a deep dive into the way government measures economic well-being, they demonstrate that our official statistics dramatically overstate inequality. Getting the facts straight reveals that the key measures of well-being are greater than the official statistics of the country would lead us to believe. Income inequality is lower today than at any time in post- World War II America. The facts reveal a very different and better America than the one that is currently described by policy advocates across much of the political spectrum. The Myth of American Inequality provides clear and convincing evidence that the American Dream is alive and well. 

BIO: Eric Sim is the author of Small Actions: Leading Your Career To Big Success, giving 66 actionable tips to help one achieve career success. STORY: Eric bought a condo with the hopes of selling it at a higher price. Unfortunately, the government changed, affecting the demand for condos. Eric is yet to sell the property or rent it for income. LEARNING: Don't let your past successes blind you when investing. Identify your buyer before you even buy that real estate.   “Never expect 100% of your investments to make money. Sometimes you lose, sometimes you win.”Eric Sim  Guest profilehttps://www.linkedin.com/in/simeric/ (Eric Sim) is the author of https://amzn.to/3dO0EQO (Small Actions: Leading Your Career To Big Success), giving 66 actionable tips to help one achieve career success. He is a successful banker, having worked with Citi in Singapore, Shanghai, and Hong Kong before joining UBS Investment Bank as a managing director. Worst investment everEric bought a massive piece of property north of Singapore. It was a 2,400-square foot home. It did well because demand was high. One year later, Eric decided to buy another property. The prices had gone up this time, and he paid a lot more for the second property. There had been plans to construct a high-speed rail from Singapore to Malaysia. This saw properties in Malaysia increase in demand. About three years later, the Malaysian government changed. The new government put the high-speed rail plans on hold. This saw property prices drop due to low demand and high supply. Eric tried to sell his property but couldn't as there was no demand. He wanted to rent it out, but it was just not worth it because prepping the property to rent it out would cost 1-2 years of rental income. He is still holding onto the property. Lessons learnedDon't let your past successes blind you when investing. Before you buy property, seriously think about the demand. Who will buy that property when you want to sell it one or two years later? Never expect 100% of your investments to make money. Sometimes you lose, sometimes you win, so don't be too hard on yourself. Don't let one lousy investment ruin your life. Andrew's takeawaysSometimes investing in condos can be a trap where you just get into it because you're excited and then get stuck in it because nobody will buy it. Identify your buyer before you even buy that real estate property. Actionable adviceDo your due diligence and make the correct type of comparison. List down the facts and be your own devil's advocate.

My guest in this episode is Eric Sim. A key opinion leader on LinkedIn, Eric Sim, CFA, is the author of the book Small Actions: Leading Your Career to Big Success. Previously, when based in Hong Kong, Sim served as a managing director at UBS Investment Bank and an adjunct associate professor of finance at HKUST. He founded the Institute of Life with a mission to train young professionals to be successful at work and in life. I met Eric Sim one year ago when I left my corporate career and needed a coach to help me navigate my social media presence. I saw a clubhouse event he was organizing. I checked his Linked profile and could not believe that he had more than 2 million followers. I registered, and he invited me to ask my questions on the stage during the event. This is how we connected. In the following months, Eric helped me crystalize my strategy and fine-tune my goals. I established many valuable connections with his help. And he gave me the confidence to start writing on LinkedIn. I have never met Eric in person, but I always wanted to share his story – from his humble beginnings to the powerhouse he is today. He made the portfolio career “a thing.” When we were recording, I asked him to walk me through the stages of preparation and execution when he was leaving banking. The answer was not what I expected! Eric said the first thing he did was design his new company's logo and print the business cards. He knew he was ready to leave the banking job when he confidently handed out these new cards, accepting his new future. His three key takeaways for success in any career pivot are three “S”: - Build your Social capital well before you need it - Build your Social media presence - Build your Social network Please tune in to hear his fascinating journey. Happy listening!

LISTEN NOW!! Gabriel is one of those Individuals who didn't follow the typical path, he paved his own. When he started his career he had little aspiration to become CEO. One decision led to another and brought him to where he is today as CEO of Milestone; focused on carbon sequestration and sustainably managing energy waste streams. Gabriel grew up immersed in the chemical Industry, both his father and grandfather worked for Dow Chemical.Gabriel had a love for music and found himself having to decide which direction he wanted to take his life. He quickly came to realize he wasn't going to be the next rockstar but his love for math and science proved to be a more realistic path for him. He talks about following your passions all while figuring it out as you go, at times your passions might change but you only know till you try. Gabriel decided to pursue chemical engineering and dive headfirst into the business world. At 24 years old, right after 9/11 and the Enron collapsed , Gabriel packed up his bags and left Houston to move to New york. He struggled to find a job, he was in a new state during a recession and had a few months of savings left. Instead of leaving New York he kept pushing forward, 8 months later he landed a position in investment banking. Throughout Gabriel's story you can find where he connects each change in his life to the next movement in his career. While working in investment banking he learns about the oil and gas industry, particularly on the environmental waste management side of the business. He found himself learning more about the business while working at Three Cities Research. At this firm he was very hands on in helping companies grow to their full potential.

Gabriel talks about calculated risks and how he applied this strategy throughout his career to becoming CEO of Milestone today. He shares the biggest lessons he learned along the way and the challenges he faced. He gives us his best advice and the impact his relationships have had on his success. Gabriel said, “ Develop strong relationships with the people that you work with and hang around, as you continue to build your career. I have found that my career has been built more off of the people that I've worked with rather than the companies that I've worked for and that's what carried me and a lot of people I know, through our careers”. Gabriel has over a decade of experience in the oil and gas environmental services industry. He is currently the President and CEO of Milestone Environmental Services, LLC.

After R360 completed a $1.3 billion sale to Waste Connections, Inc., Gabriel assumed work with the buyer to help with the integration of the R360 business into Waste Connections. Prior to R360's formation in 2010, he was an investment professional with Three Cities Research, Inc., a mid-market private equity firm, where he was principally responsible for US Liquids of LA, LP, a regional oilfield waste treatment and disposal provider in Louisiana and Texas.Earlier in his career, Gabriel worked as an Associate Equity Research Analyst covering the global chemical industry at UBS Investment Bank, as a Petroleum Practice Fellow with McKinsey & Company a global strategy consultancy, and as an Associate at Purvin & Gertz, a Houston-based oil and gas consultancy.

Our guest today is Eric Sim. The header on his LinkedIn profile shows a banker, lecturer, speaker and writer, but he is actually much more. Eric is a proponent of the portfolio career, a topic for which he has become a thought leader and the most followed CFA charter holder globally with almost 3 million followers on LinkedIn. Based in Singapore, Eric reached the pinnacle of his career as a Managing director at UBS Investment Bank. He quickly realized that he could offer the world much more than being an investment banker and left his position at UBS. From there, he embarked on the portfolio career, founding the Institute of life, becoming a professor, a prominent speaker and now a global thought leader teaching others how to have a portfolio career of their own. In today's episode, we start with Eric's personal journey, how small actions can lead to big returns and the relevance of personal branding for anyone at any stage in their career. We then dive into details and tactics of personal branding, followed by a discussion on the three sources of capital (financial, human, and social) and the outsized returns that can be generated by investing in social capital. Our hosts today are Steve Curley, CFA and Marina Hayes, CFA. Please enjoy the episode. Follow the CFA Society of Orlando on Twitter and LinkedIn.
