Semi-retired investment banker Jonathon Urlich returns with a global economic update. We discuss the U.S., China, Eurozone and New Zealand.
Then we have an hour with Salvatore Babones.  He is Professor of Political Sociology, Author of “The New Authoritarianism: Trump, Populism, and the Tyranny of Experts, and he is brilliant.
Mrs Producer is in the mailroom.
And next week, to accommodate the U.S. Presidential election, there will be two podcasts: Monday and Thursday.
