The Bigger Picture: Is the IMF fit for purpose, Africa's megalopolis & California's amazing success
Professor Tim Evans of Middlesex University asks if the IMF is fit for purpose in a world where power and wealth are moving east and where there are now competitors such as China? With Africa due to be home to 40% of humanity by the end of the century, he discusses the remarkable Megalopolis of coastal west Africa, one of the continent's great success stories. And as California is set to overtake Germany in the list of the world's largest economies, he considers why we can't emulate it in the UK.

The Financial Outlook for Personal Investors: Has normality returned to markets & are bonds worthwhile again?
Laith Khalaf of A J Bell tells Simon Rose that, to a large extent, normality has been restored to financial markets since Rishi Sunak becamse Prime Minister. Although the Autumn Statement has been delayed to November 17, the markets appear not be too concerned. Laith explains what the markets are expecting when the MPC meets next week and advises investors to keep an eye on bonds, which – although not beating inflation – are considerably more interesting than a year ago.

The Business of FIlm: Black Adam, The Banshees of Inisherin & Triangle of Sadness

The Business of FIlm: Black Adam, The Banshees of Inisherin & Triangle of Sadness
James Cameron-Wilson looks at a UK box office that still appears in less than robust health, despite the arrival at #1 of Black Adam, starring Dwayne Johnson. This DC comic spin-off, however, James found plodding and lacking in humour. He was more enthusiastic about #2, Martin McDonagh's The Banshees of Inisherin, reuniting Colin Farrell and Brendan Gleeson from McDonagh's earlier film In Bruges. With Emily and The Last King dropping out of the top ten, James advises people to look out for Swedish Palme D'Or winner Triangle of Sadness.

Gadgets & Gizmos: Flying cars, solving leaves on the line & hearing the Earth's magnetic field
Steve Caplin tells Simon Rose about a flying car that you can now order, although as a car it might prove somewhat lacking. He celebrates 21 years of the iPod, marvels at a couple of Lenovo prototypes, discusses the deadline to use up old-fashioned stamps, plays a recording of what the Earth's magnetic field might sound like, wonders why it's taken until the production of the Sand Rover to solve the problem of leaves on the line and explains how the first piece of land has just been bought using an non-fungible token.

Gadgets & Gizmos: QR codes IN food, more efficient wind and wave energy & fake Amazon reviews
Share Radio's technology editor talks to Simon Rose about the ability to 3D print QR codes inside food, but wonders why anyone would want to. He is dubious about the data gathered by Meta's new VR headset but loves an app that separates various elements in music. He is impressed by a motionless rooftop wind generator and a sea platform producing energy from waves. There's even a proof-of-concept ability to transmit solar power wirelessly, using a system developed by Nikola Tesla over 100 years ago.

The Bigger Picture: The real costs of cheap money & the importance of getting WW2 Russian history right
Professor Tim Evans of Middlesex University talks to Simon Rose about the real human and economic cost of "cheap money" and ignoring the basics of economics, particularly among the groupthinking MPC. As we find ourselves with the butcher's bill for 14 years of zero interest rates, he doubts if there is anybody who can turn things around without enormous upheaval. The soggy, Keynesian, statist, high-tax, no-growth blancmange is not, he maintains, sustainable for our children and grandchildren. He also explains why it is so important when it comes to Russia's war on Ukraine that the Soviet Union's role in starting the Second World War be properly acknowledged.

The Business of Film: Emily, Flux Gourmet & Anais In Love
James Cameron-Wilson laments a continuing weak UK box office. He welcomes a potential star in Emma Mackey from Sex Education in the film Emily (as in Bronte) but it only made #10 in the chart. He found Flux Gourmet from Peter Strickland engaging but baffling but that film barely troubled the scorers at #91 in the chart. James was happier watching Anais in Love starring Anais Demoustier on DVD, though he found the film all over the place. He hopes that Dwayne Johnson's new film can provide more cheer next week.

The Business of Film: The Woman King, Amsterdam, The Lost King & champagne with Angela Lansbury
James Cameron-Wilson takes us through the film in a box office chart down 18% on the week. The Woman King with Viola Davis, a true story of an African tribe of female warriors is #2 but james found it an unreal potboiler. David O. Russell's Amsterdam with an amazing cast including Christian Bale, Margot Robbie and Robert de Niro is #5 but James thought it an incoherent mish-mash. However, he did enjoy a true story behind the discovery of Richard III's body, The Lost King, with Sally Hawkins and Steve Coogan at #7. He also told Simon Rose how he was once invited to drink champagne with the late Angela Lansbury.
