  • One of the best global business and markets podcasts around

    This is a great podcast to listen to and get informed views and opinions on what themes are impacting global business and markets. Peter is a knowledgeable host and probes and listens in equal measure. The most recent episode with Dr Stephan Leithner of Deutsche Borse is a fantastic listen. Highly recommend.

  • Good content horrible sound quality

    The content is good but the production quality is soooo bad. Guest microphone quality is inconsistent, volume levels of the speakers are inconsistent and vary throughout the episode. Reuters daily news shows they know how to do sound production, they need to allocate resources here.

  • Probably, the best podcast on global politics and eceonomics

    Opposite its many counterparts, The Exchange isn’t overproduced nor does it feel tightly controlled by a large staff of producers. It’s simply in-debt interviews with some of the smartest, most interesting, and well-selected candidates regarding the given subjects.

    Listening to The Exchange isn’t pleasant because of smooth crossovers, jingles or trying-to-be smooth ambient music, but, merely, as it contains unparalleled content in a rough and direct manner; conversations between the right inter... more

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Does Elon Musk represent a new form of capitalism?
Q: Is Musk unique, or could others replicate this model in the future?
The guests argue that while Musk is extraordinary, the pattern may be cyclical rather than unique—innovation leaders who align with state mechanisms and leverage new communications platforms could emerge, but the particular mix may eventually be transcended as markets and politics evolve.
Does Elon Musk represent a new form of capitalism?
Q: So, what would you say in a nutshell, what are the defining features of Muskism?
Muskism blends hard tech execution with aggressive political and social positioning, mirroring a century-scale concept (Fordism) while emphasizing state collaboration, deglobalization, and a leadership style that leverages social media to create market value and shape policy.
Why rich societies became prosperous and anxious
Q: How should we think about AI and the future of work in light of these beliefs?
AI will likely compress the need for human labor in many areas, necessitating new social contracts, income mechanisms, and a broader redefinition of the good life to preserve social and psychological well-being.
Why rich societies became prosperous and anxious
Q: What role does belief play in development and innovation according to your view?
Belief shapes how people behave, what jobs they pursue, and how they cooperate; the book argues that evolving beliefs—beyond religious faith to shared narratives—have historically driven progress and must be actively cultivated to sustain growth.
Why rich societies became prosperous and anxious
Q: So, Ryan, let's start with the conundrum of the age.
Avent discusses the paradox of rising wealth and persistent unhappiness, suggesting that belief and social cohesion are crucial to translating material progress into durable well-being, and that we need to reframe our institutions to support a shared purpose.

Frequently Asked Questions About The Big View

What is The Big View about and what kind of topics does it cover?
