Associate Professor at the University of Sydney, Mr Evan Jones has much to say on the topic of economic rationalism. Follow the Money plans to chat with Evan fairly regularly to keep up to date with the inner workings of Australian and Global economics. Check back here soon as we develop a series of podcasts designed to examine where economic rationalism is taking us, and whether we actually want to go there…
Ever heard of the G-30? It’s not often we get to talk to someone so intimately connected to the upper eschelons of global finance. Mervyn King is the chairman of the UK’s central bank – The Bank of England, one of the oldest central banks in the world… You don’t get to do this job unless you have really earned your stripes, and word has it – a lot of those stripes were earned sharing an office in his junior days with todays US Fed Chairman, Ben Bernanke. If only we were able to chat to the real Mervyn King! Never the less, you should find this interview illuminating.
Regular guest THE PLANET CRUSADER joins us as part of his hectic media schedule… Keep an eye out folks, this cat is popping up all over the place. For those of you curious to to find his true identity, you will see him on the SBS program ‘Insight’ and briefly on ABC’s ‘Four Corners’ program.
Sol Trujillo announced his resignation as CEO of Telstra corporation 1 year ahead of schedule. With an exemplary background in telecommunications management, it was time to find out about the man who was brought in to ‘remake’ Telstra. Speaking candidly about his life experience and sharing some insight into what makes a great CEO these days, we thank Sol for joining Follow the Money and warn that it is not his voice you are about to hear… Listen below.
Dr Anna Straton is a researcher with the CSIRO’s Sustainable Eco-Systems division who specializes in valuing tropical river systems. I wanted to talk to Anna because I believe we need more people working in this field to take up the challenge that Anna has embraced… Listen to the podcast to gain an insight into what an ecological economist actually does and how important this work is if we are ever going to achieve a sustainable economy.
Questioned as to whether or not its time to start designing plan B (in case plan A doesn’t work) the planet crusader makes some good points about what we should be doing overall… He verges on philopsophical at times and displays a level of insight that is rarely made room for in mainstreamn media. However, rumours have started circulating that the Planet Crusader is about to switch mediums by entering the domain of national television! – Keep an eye out folks…
After numberous phone calls back and forth, we finally tracked down Bernie Madoff for a chat while under house arrest in New York. You’d think he’d have a bit of time on his hands but apparently not – he was still on edge and couldn’t get off the phone fast enough! However, we appreciate his honesty and insight…
