  • Lacks better insights and data

    High level, basic talk on topics. Often bring speakers that have little data to support claims. Far from SMEs.

  • Thank you

    This show has been very informative and interesting. I love the style with which the host welcomes listeners to delve deeper into various economic subjects with correspondents and experts. (Also, in my opinion, the recent episode relating to European defense spending was just the right length.)

  • Long form vs Short form

    In answer to the question … longer versions of Econ World or not: Please provide both (as required). The deep dives are well worth the time spent and the shorter versions work too. This is not an “or” decision, it is an “and” opportunity. Thanks for all this deep and valuable information. It is difficult to find information that one can trust … Reuters is a place where I “feel safe”.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Live podcast: The affordability gap
Q: Raising minimum wage: is it the best fix or is there a better approach?
A higher minimum wage helps some workers but can backfire if it eliminates entry-level positions; a hot, growing labor market with higher productivity and targeted policy can lift incomes without reducing job opportunities.
Adam Smith’s time to shine
Q: Are you an Adam Smith fan? What's your take on him?
Mark expresses a nuanced admiration for Smith, acknowledging the enduring relevance of his ideas while noting that some of his conclusions—such as pure laissez-faire and certain assumptions about human behavior—need updating in light of modern economics and technologies like AI.
The Gulf’s nightmare scenario
Q: What does it mean for Gulf economies if they can't ship oil through the Strait of Hormuz?
Production is being curtailed or rerouted in some cases, and while longer-term demand recovery depends on how quickly the strait reopens, the near-term revenue and investment outlook is uncertain and costly.
The Gulf’s nightmare scenario
Q: Maha, how would you describe what you're witnessing right now from your doorstep in Dubai?
There's an unusually fast news cycle and high levels of hostility; the events are compounding in ways we haven't seen before, making it hard to digest and track the overall impact on Gulf economies.
The big shrink
Q: How is the market reacting to the changes brought by these drugs?
David explains there has been a notable increase in the mention of GLP-1 and weight loss in earnings reports from various companies, indicating growing awareness of the impact.
