  • Soumaya is wonderful to listen to

    Terrific to have Soumaya back. As exemplified by this one on the U.K./India trade deal, her scripting is so well paced and her questions acute, hitting all the main points of interest for the listener. Soumaya is wonderful to listen to. Congratulations on the new child, and look forward to getting a copy of the new book with Chad Brown.

  • Big Ego

    Generally find the show informative but had to turn off the December 17 episode after Martin Wolf not only plugged his own writing 3 times in the first 11 minutes, but claimed that one listener's question had stolen what is a very generic idea from him.

    A little humility please, Mr.

    I wonder if the producers are ignorant of the past, Westinghouse, Morgan and the rest - the problem is people make companies wealthy…we to choose to use social media and Amazon

How big a deal is the EU-India trade agreement? With Nicolas Köhler-Suzuki and Ajay Srivastava
Q: What do you think the most important concession was that the Indian side got?
The EU allowing tariff elimination on India's labour-intensive goods like garments, shoes, textiles, etc. and marine products was great.

How the Fed fights back, with Don Kohn
Q: What would your words of advice be for the next Fed chair?

How the Fed fights back, with Don Kohn
Q: What do you think the atmosphere is going to be like within the institution now?
I think it will actually raise the morale of the people inside the Federal Reserve. They'll dig in their heels and be proud to work for an institution that is fighting for its independence against a very powerful foe.
