EP 356 - We are doing some hefty metaphorical redecorating at BWB at the moment (remodelling for our American friends). That means that we will be using the next few weeks to look back into our catalogue and republish some choice episodes. Conversations that we think are as relevant today as they were when they were first released. First up Martin Wolf CBE - Associate Editor and Chief Economics Commentator at the FT.We kicked off 2023 talking to Martin about the state of the Nation and his thinking will give you a helpful lens to hold up to UK current events such as the budget, democratic reform and how our future is shaped by the economic choices that we make now.And Martin's keen eyed analysis and clear headed assessment of the current state and future of the British Economy, Political Realm and our role in the world when it comes to trade is as relevant now as when we first sat down in 2023.Spotify Video Chapters (only):00:00 BWB with Martin Wolf CBE01:27 Meet Martin02:13 Current Global Challenges and Their Impact on the UK03:17 Historical Context: The UK's Economic Evolution11:23 The Regional Disparity in the UK Economy16:24 The Need for Long-Term Economic Planning30:34 The Role of Skills and Education in Economic Growth38:16 The Future of the UK's Economy: Opportunities and Challenges42:39 The Importance of Reliable Data in Economic Planning48:28 Data in Decision Making49:23 Adapting Plans in Business and Government50:36 The Role of Flexibility in Business Success52:48 Modern Monetary Theory Explained58:00 Economic Challenges and Recession01:05:52 Global Trade and the Commonwealth01:12:16 The Future of the UK Economy01:18:20 Political Landscape and Party Dynamics01:25:27 Conclusion: Navigating Economic and Political Realitiesbusinesswithoutbullshit.meWatch us on YouTubeFollow us:InstagramTikTokLinkedinTwitterIf you'd like to be on the show, get in contact - [email protected] is powered by Oury Clark
