The Hale Report

Lyric Hale talks to Mark Roeder, Australian author and futurist, about his book "What We Do Next Really Matters". Hale Strategic will be releasing a new report on the implications of artificial intelligence, or as some are now calling it, augmented intelligence. To mark its publication, we thought that you would enjoy getting to know more about its author, Mark Roeder. He challenges conventional wisdom about how the world works today, and discusses what we must do how to ensure its future.

Lyric Hughes Hale interviews Daniel Yergin Daniel Yergin, Vice Chairman of IHS MARKIT and founder of CERAWEEK. He is an expert in the geopolitics of energy and the global economy, and is a Pulitzer-prize winning author. His latest book is The New Map: Energy, Climate and the Clash of Nations was published by Penguin Press last year. The book is actually about the convergence of several maps: America, Russia, China, the Middle East, and Road and Climate maps. They discussed a wide range of topics, from climate change to cryptocurrencies to Ukraine-- even the Four Ghosts of the South China Sea, and the utter serendipity of innovation.

Lyric interviews Martin Wolf, the economics commentator for the Financial Times and author of a new book the Crisis of Democratic Capitalism. The book is a deeply thoughtful exploration of some ideas that might be troubling, including whether the economic and political system we presently enjoy is sustainable.

Lyric interviews Brad Setser, an economist and Whitney Shepardson senior fellow at the Council on Foreign Relations. Lyric has long admired Brad for his deep knowledge of global economic data, and his ability to interpret that information. Brad is one of our country’s most highly respected analysts of global capital flows, national tax competition, and trade imbalances and sovereign debt restructuring, a skill that I imagine is in high demand these days.
