The aim of this weekly podcast is to make economics easy, uncomplicated and accessible. With the world at a political, technological and financial tipping point, economics has never been so important to all of us and yet, it’s made inaccessible and complicated by so many.
I’ve always thought what is complicated is rarely important and what is important is rarely complicated.
That will be our motto... more

Ireland has spent the last two decades riding a unique position: European by treaty, American by economics, a “bridgehead” for US multinationals into the EU, and a country whose prosperity has quietly depended on America’s outsized pull on global cap... more
Everyone watched Trump at Davos and thought they were seeing American power. We think they were seeing something else: a flashing warning light. The core idea of this podcast is simple: diversification is the oldest rule in investing, and the world h... more

At 65 years and running, the US embargo on Cuba is the longest in history and is often likened to economic terrorism. Each year, an overwhelming majority of UN member states vote to e... more
Love this podcast. David is super smart and delivers the show in a funny and simplistic manner. Love tuning in on my daily walk. Keep up the great work and entertainment
McWilliams is very intelligent economist, however he clearly has an agenda and that’s centrism and more of what has led into the mire most of the world dwells in.

“What is Radical Politics?”
Painting Reform & co as being representative of the typical ‘western’ population, then dressing it up as a reasonable response by us all, but yet no mention of political & media manipulation of the issue, etc.
And I’d forgotten that immigrants are responsible for the various housing crises throughout our world….!
I was beginning to scratch my head, but then it all made sense with the usual ads for BP/Amex/Marriott/etc.
And please do away with this daft idea that t... more
