You are mistaken, education no longer has value because of artificial intelligence, get up to speed 👍

19:59 has it ever occurred to any of you that perhaps it is not government that should be borrowing, investing etc and that what is needed is not short term economic management by the state but rather a reduction in the size and scope of the state, with a corresponding reduction in taxation, and the resulting long term planning by individuals, who benefit by getting it right and go out of business when they get it wrong?

Western civilization has been ruined by uncontrolled illegal immigration. London is not the place he describes. It's a crime infested city. It's no place to live. I'm in silicon valley, and we suffer homeless, drug addicts, and crime too.

Martin Wolf should be in government.

Britain sucked India bone dry for 200 years and still use terms like "Commonwealth" 😂

😂

Grace come to South Africa for the best surf, best beaches, best vibe, I'll even give you a couple of free surf lessons. SA is ground zero for great change, we need you this side. I wrote a brand new model called Social Egalitarian Ecocapitalism (SEE) our team would love your insights? Best Regards, Leo Lentz. Founder, CEO, Young Custodians NPO.

Who imports most african food ? i think the Eu countries are near the top of the list.

We lost our manufacturing and became a service economy. The Thatcher legacy.

McVities' digestive biscuits have disappeared from Canadian shops. English cheese is almost not available. Thank you, Mr and Mrs Brexit.

Besides rolls Royce jet motors, what else Britain produces that “the world wants”? What is he talking about?

My God this man is arrogant and insufferable. Might want to rename this KZbin channel to Business With Bullsh-t.

The UK will go bankrupt eventually, slowly and then all of a sudden , like in the 1970s when it had to be bailed out by the IMF.

1:22:00 We will not be able to provide good income for enough of our population. 1 in 6 (15%) of our population has an IQ of less than 85, which means they are untrainable and thus cannot participate in our evermore cognitively complex knowledge economy. When we automate away our last remaining labour-intensive industries and professions, then we will see even more social problems. Autonomous transport, factory-built construction, law and medicine will all be impacted over the coming decades. Unless politicians and policymakers recognise the looming societal upheaval that the UK is heading towards, and that they cannot tax their way out of this dilemma, then they will just be compounding the forthcoming problems in store for us.

Take your money and run to the US run this country is finished 55% and you can’t even see a GP

A few responses to this fascinating talk First the overwhelming numbers in the pro Brexit vote came form the home counties and south west. It wasn't a protest from the northern poor Second until Cameron got in we had a the basics of a reginal structure with around six regions with government offices, regional economic plans and regional development agencies. The Tories demolished it all. We need to get back to where we once came from. Third you will find I think that Singapore is not a piratical haven of buccaneers and its success has a great dela to do with state planning for housing, transport, education and much else

Germany had an advantage over Britain after the war. Germany didn't fund any military so could concentrate its resources on developing civilian production. Britain (like the US today) was thinking it should/could rule the world

British politicians don't know how business works nor do they care

Too much interruption, let the man speak. Frustrating sorry.

2 different topics. If Europe loses control of the world market we're stuffed.

I wouldn’t buy food that’s been handled by Africans.

The Market is God and everything will be done to protect it. This is why London is booming. It’s the economy stupid as the saying goes and the economy is the Global Market where money makes money from money and from nothing else. Everything hinges on growth and the Markets. Elon Musk recognises this and his endeavours made him a ‘pied piper’ where millions follow him and investing in him pushing shares prices to new highs with ridiculous P/E ratios. The 2008 financial crash was saved by printing money and IOUs and dishing it out for FREE at near ZERO % interest rates. The result is huge DEBT and WEALTH. The wealth held by the few whilst the debt is held by the many. A financial crash is inevitable and the only tool left to prevent it is the printing machine. The USA is in deep trouble as $Trillions now need to be printed every few months to keep the game (like monopoly) going. Every time the DEBT grows and grows. The question is, how long can this go on for before it all comes crashing down.

another moron

Identity crisis? Why is that? Britain is considered a failed state internationally.

Crypto is basically a stock without a company to back it up. It value is always based on a countrys monetary system.

AI can create anything. AI can do finance. In the hands of the USA.

These guys have no clue. Haters. They definitely don't own any bitcoin. Hahaha

Goodness Martin Wolf is clever. Fascinating thank you all

The EU export fake milk to Africa, which causes serious problems for small independent dairy farmers.

Continuing to look to government will continue to fail. Your government is actively suppressing economic activity 🤦‍♂️

Man doesn’t take a breath! Won’t even allow a question to get asked 😂😂

UK was overtake by US after second world war. Some of the elites went with the Yankees and some who felt exploited or believed in a different ideology Marx and Engels went with Russia. Hard-working Englishmen were left alone. This was the greatest betrayal of the English people in history.

On the issue of UBI, it's obviously terrible but what you could do is give Skill & Qualification stipends commesurate with a social value measure (some market feedback mechanism still needed) - which works whether you can play grade 2 piano Mozart, compound essential medicines, plumb in a sink, rebuild & tune an engine, do a backflip, recite the details of the periodic table, or a great written cultural work of run a marathon etc. Money for nothing is always a recipe for disaster.

I’m not investing for the world. You think the big players in the market are investing for “the world”? Christ

Unemployment is not low if you're unemployed on £393 a month universal credit. We've got 1.7 million registered unemployed and a further 1 million unemployed but not claiming because the Job Centre is a hassle or they have too many savings. A lot of the 2.8 million off sick I'm sure are people in deindustrialised areas are really people who have given up finding work or whose health has suffered as a consequence I really think people need to think again about this. We wouldn't have more foodbanks than McDonalds if we had actual "low" unemployment

@bwblondon 58:05 After just talking about the media's duty of care to not divide people over controversial issues & report properly you then 58:05 repeat the canard that people concerned about the impact of immigration focus their blame on immigrants - when their main focus of it is on treacherous, subversive & lazy power elites committing to managed decline in all areas. I agree with all your other general points in this episode, (& most in others), but I'd appreciate some due dilligence being done on this one. & on the issue of cost of the past half quater centuries' immigration policies, the University of Amsterdam recently put out the result of a 4 year study on the financial impact of immigration on the Netherlands between 1995 & 2019 that showed a net cost of €400 Billion. Slim chance it's wildly different in the UK - should we ever be shown all the figures. Immigration didn't need to result in what it has, it could have been done sensibly & only broughr benefits - instead we have plumetting social trust, spiraling debt & the children of English (white British) families will become a minority in the English schooling system within 10years by their own reported student body ethnic data. (The English to become a minorty in England in mere few decades & all Britons in the Isles - not just the UK - by around mid century). I like most people have no issue with honourable guests of foreign extraction themselves, but I do with those who aren't honourable & the impact of undemocratic demographic policies on my heritage & the destruction & those who enacted, continue & defend them.

It was Thatcher who destroyed Local Government and centralised the British state. While there were problems with the economy and industrial relations in the 70s, for her to taking a wrecking ball to the whole thing purely for the sake of political power was insane. All those skilled people thrown on the scrap heap... all the oil money squandered... Just look at where the various privatisations have left us: Thames Water may yet do for Martin's wonderful London. It really could get that serious. Part of the problem we've got is the political Right are increasingly like libertarian jihadists. They have a fanatical hatred for public services and a blind belief in private enterprise. The Left meanwhile get led up blind alleys and lack confidence. There's nothing wrong with trial and error. The Chinese have studied what the West did and then tried things bit by bit. Their weakness is their love of money which has led to the property bubble.

Europe has dinosaurs running their countries and none more so than the UK , look at the US new administration Musk, Vance, Vivek are all young men that have a tech background and understanding of that side of things the UK has nothing but dinosaurs working off whiteboards with marker pens with zero understanding of the tech world while universities turn out idiots that cant even grasp basic biology where the likes of China turn out high IQ students that can't get a job so to get on in life they are left delivering food in order to live while Europe allows low IQ slaves to drive wages down but as usual we get these fools that still long for the Empire telling us that GB is still a force on the world stage while Germanys economy slowly crumbles due to their reliance on Russian gas to drive their industrial base along with closing down their nuclear power stations to rely on windmills and solar while operating opencast mines to export that coal to South America as subsidised Chinese EVs kill their car industry

Quite right Our government unfortunately think that they are planning for the long term Reeves and Starmer are both extremely conventional people who have swallowed their own propoganda

I think the only growth for Britain is more brown people, more Muslims and more mosques + battery farm + cheap labour = low wage, halal chicken n chip shop utopia whoooooo 🎉

What about the impact of the super rich buying up the assets and living on passive income. Even the government cant compete now.

Romes fall from super power...what went wrong? Spain's fall from superpower...what went wrong? France's fall from superpower...what went wrong? Holland's.....

It went woke - obsession with diversity - pathetic leadership around our education systems. been marginalised and diluted over decades
