Many Western countries have accumulated very high levels of debt, while central banks have expanded the money supply significantly over recent decades.
I can’t see a way to restore our economy without a prolonged period of extreme hardship, one that the public would not tolerate, no matter which government we elect. Do you know how we get out of this hole?
I just heard Elon Musk state in an interview that the economy will double in the next five years due to AI and robotics. Is that just spin to boost his company value or is there something to his prediction?
When Zimbabwe did it they called it printing money, when the Bank of England does it they call it "quantitative easing", we all know neither will work in the long term - will the Bank of England ever reverse it ? or does the city just "price it in" to all market pricing so in effect its pointless?
Shouldn’t we just call it a day and revert back to ore based currency like gold silver copper etc… and revert the New (then) Labours “liberation” of the Bank Of England?
Apart from that and the asinine behaviour of our politicians, I wouldn’t be surprised if we loose our currency and get the euro, the way things are going…
I have seen a few AI Apps that promise to make you money through trading online, acting as digital Sherpa’s hauling gold from the wilderness. I’m a software guy, so I’ll never believe App version 1.0 is worthwhile (especially today), but this has interesting implications for the future of finance. Do these AI applications represent a thread to investment markets and those currently benefiting from them?
Many people envision a "post-work" world, where everything will be provided for them at low or no cost, due to advancements in automation that will appear in the future, where the government will give everyone a stipend in the form of universal basic income. Won't a world with UBI just result in the same economic problems that appeared in places like the Soviet Union or East Germany? There are limited circumstances where UBI have already been implemented. What can they tell us?
Let’s say, hypothetically, Nigel Farage is a 21st century Thatcher. What does Britain have to sell itself to the global economy in the 21st century, when China is dominant in manufacturing, American is dominant in technology, and advantages we’ve previously held (eg. The systems used to power the empire) are now adopted by most major superpowers?
Do you ever feel you inhabit a neo-Lydian matrix of "belief", and vicariously so do we all. And that this collective "faith" in mediums of exchange might one day dissolve?
Patrick! Wow! Super excited to see you on the show! As a market-curious Physicist I have long found your explanations on option pricing to be the best available!
As is often alleged, are there indeed scenarios in which derivative activity fosters severe instability in markets? If so, how does this emerge, and how could it be prevented with simple and sensible regulations that preserve the beneficial role derivatives play in healthy markets?

What is the risk that AI is a bubble that will be burst and, if so, how are the markets addressing it.

We should, I'm just not sure that that is Boyle's thing. I think he's more a companies and industries kind of guy. I guess we'll see.
Well just talk about oil and gas and how to get to where I drive a v8 petrol for 50£ a tank

What has been your worst financial/investment call? What did you learn from the pain?
PRINTING MONEY
What do we have to do to stop governments printing money?
Governments are living beyond their means. Invent a problem => spend big on it => repeat.
How do we stop this?

Why is virtually every western country? Where does the global group think come from?
