For many years, the La Défense business district on the edge of Paris was the beating heart of France's corporate and financial sectors. La Défense emerged in the late 1960s as a modernist hub of skyscrapers and commercial infrastructure, with hundreds of thousands of people working there every day. But when the Covid-19 pandemic hit, many of those employees began to work remotely. The neighbourhood has since struggled to attract the pre-Covid crowds, and local business are suffering as a result. FRANCE 24's Natacha Vesnitch, George Yazbeck and Siobhán Silke report.

As DC Studios prepares to kick off Chapter One: Gods and Monsters, fans are eagerly awaiting the new lineup of films and shows, starting with Creature Commandos in December. But alongside the excitement, there are concerns about how VFX artists are treated in the industry. James Gunn, co-CEO of DC Studios, recently addressed these concerns by promising better working conditions for these crucial artists. In a recent post on Threads, Gunn assured fans that DC Studios is committed to giving VFX artists the time and respect they need to do their best work. "If you do some research you'll see my films have always taken a different approach and I've always given my VFX artist-collaborators time to do their jobs properly, and the respect they deserve," Gunn explained. He also praised the teams at Weta, Framestore, and ILM for their talent and dedication. The first film in DC Studios' new slate is Superman, directed by Gunn, which finished production last month. With a release date set for July 11, 2025, Gunn explained that they wrapped early to give VFX artists plenty of time to work without the usual last-minute rush. "This is why we wrapped on Superman a year before release and why they've been hard at work on many shots for months before that," Gunn said. He added that other projects, like Supergirl, are being handled with the same level of care. CGI has come a long way in superhero movies. Early films like Superman (1978) and Batman Forever (1995) used basic CGI, which was impressive at the time but limited by the technology. By the 2000s, movies like Spider-Man (2002) and X-Men (2000) started pushing the boundaries with more realistic effects, but this often came at the cost of long hours and intense pressure on VFX teams. Today, CGI in superhero movies is incredibly advanced, with characters and scenes that look almost real. However, the demand for high-quality effects often means VFX artists face tight schedules and heavy workloads, which has led to increasing calls for better treatment in the industry. James Gunn's recent statements suggest that DC Studios is taking steps to address these issues and avoid the problems that have plagued other studios.

What happens to a nation when its leaders get in bed with the IMF? In this episode, Steve and his guest Daniel Kostzer look at the case of Argentina under President Javier Milei. Daniel is the Chief Economist of the International Trade Union Confederation. They discuss the recent legislative wins by Milei's government, which have sparked mass protests and civil unrest in the country. The reform bill passed by the Argentine Senate includes sweeping austerity measures, privatization, and labor rights cuts. The conversation delves into the factors contributing to the high inflation rate in Argentina, including the country's debt with the IMF, the impact of the pandemic, and external conditions such as the Ukraine-Russian war and drought. Daniel explains that Milei's approach to the economy is characterized by a belief in dollarization. They also discuss the role of the IMF in Argentina and its pro-market, pro-capitalist ideology. They talk about the historical pattern of accumulation in the country, with a constant pendulum swing between the export-oriented neoliberal model and the industrial autonomous development model. Without a clear resolution of this conflict, Argentina will continue to struggle. However, they also highlight the resilience and fighting spirit of the Argentine society, with a strong union density and a comprehensive system of social protection. Daniel Kostzer is the Chief Economist of the International Trade Union Confederation (ITUC-CSI) based in Brussels. He was the senior regional wage specialist for Asia and the Pacific at the INWORK Branch (Inclusive Labour Markets, Labour Relations and Working Conditions), International Labour Organization. Daniel does research in Labour Economics, especially wages and income distribution, poverty alleviation, and the linkages with the broad economic issues. @dkostzer on Twitter

Joanna and Zach take a look at the landscape of working conditions in the hospitality industry, and wonder why they're still relatively poor despite high demand for skilled labor: why unionization efforts fail and why high profile organizations are still having to fight to raise the tipped minimum wage. Could part of a solution be a new vision for the hospitality industry, with public subsidies helping to keep these businesses vital and vibrant?

What keeps YOU up at night? We asked an All-Star panel that you can only put together at a big conference like FinCon...and today we do just that. We're recording LIVE from the moomoo podcast booth at FinCon 2023 with Rob Berger (Rob Berger YouTube channel), Nick Loper (Side Hustle Nation), and Paula Pant (Afford Anything), to ask them what THEIR audiences are worried about right now. Man, did we get an earful. From rising interest rates to uncertain retirement conditions, to the world of work changing around us because of AI and more, we work through MANY of the big issues people are facing in 2023 and often come up with solutions to help relieve those fears. It's a special episode of Stacking Benjamins, without our usual segments (only the trivia remains...and Doug brings us a GREAT one today). Enjoy!
