We have a very special guest for you this week. In the year of elections we thought we'd get a politician on the podcast, or at least a former politician. The Right Honourable Lord William Hague agreed to join us. Lord Hague's held many senior roles, including Leader of the House of Commons, but is best known as the Leader of the Conservative party, 1997-2001, and First Secretary of State and Foreign Secretary, 2010-2014. He now pursues a wide range of business and charitable activities.
For those suffering from election fatigue, don't worry, this isn't a podcast about elections and we only briefly touch on politics. This is a conversation about the global forces steering markets and the economy. I wanted to know what's really happening behind closed doors when policymakers and business leaders meet to discuss the events that are shaping the world. We discuss ageing populations, AI, climate change and deglobalisation. Lord Hague was a delightful guest and I hope you enjoy the chat.
RUNNING ORDER:
01:32 - Part one: looking forward to a longer working life?
07:58 - Part two: Are policymakers and business leaders at loggerheads over climate change?
12:22 - Part three: deglobalisation and the fight to control the effects of AI

A very, very late change to the schedule this week but it's a welcome one too.
My colleagues Vera German and Jade Zhang had the opportunity to speak to legendary Emerging Markets investor Mark Mobius on the Value Perspective, our sister podcast, and we thought it would be rude not to share that with you.
Mark founded Mobius Capital Partners in 2018 following a three-decade tenure at Franklin Templeton where he managed over $40 billion in Emerging Markets’ portfolios.
Mark has experience of the opening up of various markets including Russia. He talks about what’s changed and remained the same throughout his career; understanding company culture; the impact of AI on Emerging Markets development; and the concept of a new Cold War. It's worth saying the views expressed in the podcast are Mark's and not Schroders. Enjoy!
RUNNING ORDER:
01:22 - Part one: Emerging markets - the early years
14:04 - Part two: AI and China
28:02 - Part three: Outlook for a multi-polar world

Energy security and carbon targets are high on the list of priorities among policymakers, consumers and investors. While a lot of people see renewable energy as a solution, Matthew Wald believes nuclear has a bigger role to play in the energy mix of the future.
Matthew was a journalist for four decades at the New York Times. He's now an analyst at the Breakthrough Institute in California, concerned with climate and energy and agriculture. Matthew argues that it's difficult to see renewable energy as the sole to our energy issues and that more should be spent on developing nuclear energy.
This show is an excerpt from the The Value Perspective podcast. You can listen to the full show here.
RUNNING ORDER:
01:26 - Part one: where did it go wrong for nuclear energy?
16:01 - Part two: changing the perception of nuclear energy
28:19 - Part three: the cost of building out a nuclear energy program
