  • If you have any interest in luxury brands and strategy, I recommend listening to this Acquired Podcast on the complete history and strategy of LVMH. It’s long at just over 3 and a half hours but I found it fascinating.

  • James Anderson on Masters in Business

    James Anderson on Why Fund Management Is ‘Broken’ - Bloomberg

    I’ve been listening to Barry interviewing people for a couple of years now. This is, the best one so far.

    I am probably biased as I found myself saying yes! and exactly! to pretty much everything James had to say

    The headline though, does not do the interview justice. His opinion on the recent Chinese crackdown on technology, the lack of action in the US against platform oligopolies and the lack of innovation that this causes, and questions over whether the US will still be a democracy in 5 years are all fascinating.

    Recommended.

  • Does Germany need a new business model?

    Germany needs a new business model - David McWilliams I’m not sure that Germany needs a new business model, but it’s certainly facing some serious challenges. David is correct about the car industry, but VW is making an enormous investment in a switch to electric vehicles.

    There is also an Podcast episode covering the same theme. One fact that really surprised me was the forecast population decline in Germany, particularly in the East over the next 15 years.
