Thought for the Week: Trade Imbalances in a MAD world

Gavin Oldham

Original Broadcast:

Thought for the Week

The existential threat of mutually assured destruction has kept the world safe from nuclear weapons for the past sixty years but, now that balance is being challenged by a combination of insanity and ignorance, it this just leaves us with economic action. Let's make sure that the trade policy of the free world is adjusted accordingly. Music accompanying this episode is from 'Mad World' by Jennifer Ann.

Thought for the Week: The Awful Legacy of Carbon

Gavin Oldham

Original Broadcast:

Thought for the Week

For the past fifty years, nearly all major conflicts have been driven by economic power granted to tyrants by our dependency on fossil fuels. We must now recognise the awful footprint it has left in terms of human suffering, as well as climate change. The huge rise in fossil fuel prices will bring substantial dividends to those who look for opportunities to invest in the new ways of powering the economy, and could kick-start moves to a safer and cleaner world.

Thought for the Week: Fear and Greed

Gavin Oldham

Original Broadcast:

Thought for the Week

Our commentary for w/c 28 February: as Peter Kropotkin predicted over 100 years ago, the communist legacy of centralised dictatorship has left the Russian leadership in a total moral vacuum, steered by fear and greed; and now, noting their nuclear warning, also with a degree of insanity. By a strange co-incidence, two programmes broadcast by the BBC on the day the war started point the way to a brighter future, if we can steer our path through the current tragedy engulfing Ukraine.

The Financial Outlook for Personal Investors: Why investing in shares needs a much higher profile on TV and Radio

Gavin Oldham

Original Broadcast:

The Financial Outlook for Personal Investors

Lord John Lee has become a champion for people investing in the stock market over recent years: he's written three books on investing, he's a patron of ShareSoc, the society for individual shareholders in the United Kingdom, and he's now challenging Government, broadcasters and regulators to encourage a much higher profile for investing in shares on TV and radio. Gavin Oldham meets with John to discuss the background to his initiative and his proposals for change; and they go on to consider how customer share ownership can be expanded, how to encourage more active participation in shareholder voting, and how to improve financial education

The Bigger Picture: A World of Individual Opportunity - the Vision of Egalitarian Capitalism

Gavin Oldham

Original Broadcast:

The Bigger Picture

Imagine a world in which everyone has a stake in the great tech firms that serve them each day, and where dividends are gradually replacing wages to provide regular income for everyone, as work becomes scarcer as a result of automation? Imagine a world where every young person not only has a small inheritance with which to start their adult life, but also the opportunity to build its value by learning life skills? Simon Rose is taking a well-earned break this week, so we’re taking the opportunity to bring you a talk given Gavin Oldham in August to the leading City of London think-tank Z/Yen.
