      He is such a ray of sunshine coming into the dark political world that we have in Canada now. He can become Captain Canada against the Conservatives who cannot wait to cut every liberal policy that they can find, and the MAGA neighbors who want to cut us at the knees with their tariffs. Welcome Mark!

When Gove said "I think the people of this country have had enough of experts", he said exactly the opposite of what most us here know. We can never have enough of experts.

      Many lessons can be learned indeed. Grandpa Alistair doesn't have his own space and is being sent to his grandchild's bedroom where he gives the impression of being chased. Rory took better care of himself as Tories always do and managed to create a small but very pricy escape in London where he can spout his own thoughts comfortably and undisturbed in all peace and quietness. Ex banker Carney is clearly the winner here. He is the most polished of them all and acts untouchable while sitting on top of the world no matter what he does in life.

    Hi all just come across this today. I really enjoyed the conversation and it was interesting to hear the former Governor of the Bank of England views on the 2008 financial crisis, covid and Brexit. Mark seems a good bloke. Here’s my take.
    1) Financial crisis. No pay increase from 2008-2014, just managed to keep our heads above water with four small children. God knows how many men lost their jobs and left the construction Industry never to return.
    2) Covid . Remember thinking sat in my garden for three months that this is going to hurt the taxpayer for a lot of years to come.
    3) Brexit. My life hasn’t been made worse in any way.
    We all walk in different shoes.

      Rory and Alistair have a recurring theme, close to both their hearts. The theme of gifts and skills contributing to being an excellent commentator, are not invariably the ideal skills for a leader. I prefer to listen to commentators from the periphery and I'm bored by the yahboo language of political leadership. Anglican bishops sometimes became much more interesting, AFTER they had retired. Many bishops are nowadays brave enough to speak against ' party assumptions ', pre-retirement.

      Increasing overall investment and directing some investment away from real estate and financial securities (stock, bonds, those kind of things) into businesses that employ people and create stuff would likely improve productivity and therefore growth after a while.
      It also likely would reduce asset price inflation (the price of real estate, financial securities, etc.) as less of the money being created is being used to purchase houses and stocks, 26:45 explains how most of the money in the UK is created.

    @DrGreenGiant Рік тому +1

    Discussions like this are invaluable, thank you. I feel less and less educated when it comes to understanding what is going on because the flow of information is so untrustworthy from incumbent politicians who we so often depend upon to be intelligent and honest. Something Rory said in interview many years ago to James o'Brien was that politicians don't have time to sit down and think. So in my view it turns into a divisive landscape of politicians not saying anything (avoiding questions because they aren't confident in their knowledge and judgement to defend a popularist witch-hunt) and others being radical with unrealistic, ideological and extremist contributions.
