  • Thought-provoking

    This is a standout series that challenges conventional thinking and dives deep into the nuances of global finance, economics and policy. Love the two sided approach to complex issues which provokes the listener to think critically, and explore a perspective that they may not have thought of. It’s a must-listen for me.

  • Stilted

    There’s a lot to like about the underlying content presented here, but obviously pre-scripted exchanges make some “conversations” almost impossible to listen to. Stronger guests admirably try to compensate for this, but I’ve yet to hear both participants able to pull this off, and more often you get results like the most recent episode on whether European equities can outperform the U.S. in which it would be more worthwhile just to scan the transcript of the chat than listen to a pretend debate ... more

  • Smart people saying dumb things

    There is no doubt that the host are incredibly intelligent, however there is nothing thought provoking presented. Multiple points are based on qualitative opinion versus quantitative market indicators. I doubt Barclays makes any money off of this podcast, as seen in the low quality of effort put forth.

  • 'All sides of the issues' that an investment bank wants you to know about. Good podcast to get Wall Street's pr. Listen to Anand Giridharadas to learn the problem with that.

Will tariffs trigger a recession?

Ajay is cautiously optimistic but expresses concerns about long-term uncertainties in business stemming from tariffs.
Will tariffs trigger a recession?
Q: But that's my other argument. I already made the point that the jobless rate is still very low by historical standards.
However, Ajay worries about potential job losses and how the jobs market might lag behind economic indicators.
Will tariffs trigger a recession?
Q: But if we look at what you just said and even take the higher end of that, that's an economy that was growing at 2.5%, maybe it could still grow at 2%?
Ajay points out that while the hit to GDP from immigration is small, it still contributes to a broader economic slowdown.
Will tariffs trigger a recession?
Q: So how do you answer that?
Ajay believes that unfortunately, the answer is affirmative regarding the risk of recession.
Can AI solve the modern productivity puzzle?
Q: How much will the increase in labor productivity actually be?
