The Art of Negotiation vs. Passion in Career Choices

What would philosopher and political economist Adam Smith think of Donald Trump’s love of tariffs? What would he make of the Republican president’s approach to taxes and deregulation? On this episode of Merryn Talks Money, recorded last week in Dubai, a special panel joins host Merryn Somerset Webb to try and answer those questions using Smith’s texts as a guide. They also talk about the global investment landscape and how the Gulf region, and particularly the United Arab Emirates, is a good place to launch a career.

In front of an audience at the Heriot-Watt University campus, Webb was joined by Adam Dixon, chair in sustainable capitalism at Panmure House, Ashley Hunter, founding partner of A. Hunter & Co., and Iqbal Kham, chief executive of Fajr Capital Group, an impact-driven investment firm.
