    A recent listener's comment:


    "I first heard about ChatGPT on your podcast and immediately started using it. I’m 73 and wrote my first program at 16. Having witnessed all developments in computing down the years I think this is the greatest since www. Your pod is informative in many different areas, politics, economics, society changes, housing crisis etc but at times goes beyond that. This episode tying up all this but also the implications of AI with a knowledgeable guest. ENTHRALLING! Keep it coming."

  • What will the next generation think of us? Taking the other side of IMF forecast bets.

    What will the next generation think of us? Taking the other side of IMF forecast bets.
    Apr 25 2024

    The Irish government has released its latest assessment of where the economy is heading. It looks like. a forlorn attempt to dampen expectations ahead of another giveaway budget in a few months time. The last before the general election.


    The golden goose will someday stop laying its eggs. What will future generations think of us, what we did the largesses generously donated by the multinational tax boom? Will we be 'grateful Norwegians', now rich because they saved their windfall taxes (from oil). Or will we resemble the 'morose British' who blew all their windfall oil taxes on what?


    Is there much more capacity for extra housebuilding than is conventionally thought?


    Will house prices ever fall to 'affordable' levels, even with extra supply. Or were houses just 'the wrong price' a generation ago?


    Chris takes the other side of the IMF forecast bets: we are approaching peak short term growth optimism and the IMF is way too pessimistic about the medium term


    At least Ireland has a fiscal debate grounded in arithmetic. The UK's fiscal conversation is total hokum.


    And all the latest economic data

  • Will Ireland go Dutch? Prolonged coalition negotiations likely if no party gets more than 30% of the GE vote.

    Will Ireland go Dutch? Prolonged coalition negotiations likely if no party gets more than 30% of the GE vote.
    Apr 18 2024

    Latest opinion polls - and a bit of political crystal ball gazing - points to no one party getting more than 30% of the vote at the upcoming Irish general election.


    Why is that and what might it mean? Will Ireland 'Go Dutch' (or Belgian...)? Are we in for weeks or even months of prolonged coalition negotiations?


    The deteriorating geopolitical situation might give voters pause for thought about the sort of politicians they want. As talk of WW3 gets louder, will Ireland want to be led by SF?


    What is for sure is that SF policies will be subject to forensic scrutiny - unlike last time.


    Ban Tik Tok? Chinese Communist Party or Elon Musk - who is the better owner of social media companies?
