  • The aim of this weekly podcast is to make economics easy, uncomplicated and accessible. With the world at a political, technological and financial tipping point, economics has never been so important to all of us and yet, it’s made inaccessible and complicated by so many.

    I’ve always thought what is complicated is rarely important and what is important is rarely complicated.


    That will be our motto.


    Every week we are going to tease out some big economic or political issue facing us, not just here in Ireland but in Europe and further afield. Globalisation has brought us all together. We all face similar challenges whether you live in Dublin, London, Minnesota or Milan.

  • Hitler’s Plan to Destroy Britain with Counterfeit Money – from Money: A Story of HumanityGrand Plan

    Hitler’s Plan to Destroy Britain with Counterfeit Money – from Money: A Story of HumanityGrand Plan
    2024/09/12

    In this episode, we’re diving into one of the wildest stories in the book, involving none other than Adolf Hitler. Can you imagine money falling from the sky? That's what Hitler had planned—he wanted to defeat Britain by literally dropping millions of counterfeit pounds across the country. He believed that if he could flood the British economy with fake money, he could induce a Weimar-style hyperinflation and collapse the British war effort. It’s a story of forgeries, secret concentration camp operations, and a plot to cripple an entire nation with counterfeit cash.


    Want to know how this insane plan almost worked? Well, grab your copy of Money: A Story of Humanity, and find out. Trust us, it’s not just about Hitler, there’s so much more—stories of people, civilizations, and how money shaped the world we live in today.

  • From Poetry to Punches: Ireland’s Journey from Michael D. to McGregor

    From Poetry to Punches: Ireland’s Journey from Michael D. to McGregor
    2024/09/10
    This week, we delve into a fascinating hypothetical for Ireland’s future: could Conor McGregor really be our next President in 2025? From the quaint leadership of Michael D. Higgins, to McGregor’s brash, larger-than-life personality, the shift would be nothing short of dramatic. But what does this say about modern Irish politics and the world we’re living in? As global politics continues to throw us curveballs, we’re not ruling anything out. Beyond the political theatre, we turn our focus to a more grounded topic—progress. Sean Keyes from Progress Ireland joins us to discuss how his think tank is dedicated to solving Ireland’s infrastructure challenges, tackling the country's underperformance despite its huge potential. How can Ireland overcome its stumbling blocks and unlock a future filled with opportunities? We look at the bigger picture of what it really means to move forward in an increasingly complex world. Tune in for a discussion that spans politics, progress, and everything in between.

  • A Letter from America with Jim Chanos

    A Letter from America with Jim Chanos
    2024/09/05

    This week, we dive into the shifting tides of the U.S. economy and its global impact on smaller countries like Ireland, who are deeply tied to American trade and investment. With the Fed’s balancing act of boosting stock markets while trying to control inflation, are we heading into another bubble? As inequality deepens, we ask what the upcoming U.S. election could mean for the global economy. Legendary short-seller Jim Chanos joins us to discuss why he believes we’re living in a “Golden Age of Fraud” and how investors are ignoring red flags. Are we returning to a 1970s-style economic era, but with new players like China and the rise of social media-driven distrust? We explore it all in this week's episode.
