Cartesian Talks 6, featuring ‘Angrynomics’ co-author Eric Lonergan

Cartesian Talks 6 featured Angrynomics co-author, Eric Lonergan, in conversation with Cartesian Capital’s Anthea Gardner and CN&CO’s Carel Nolte. The webinar was expertly run by the CN&CO Events team.

The blurb about the book on Amazon reads as follows: “In Angrynomics, Mark Blyth and Eric Lonergan explore the rising tide of anger, sometimes righteous and useful, sometimes destructive and ill-targeted, and propose radical new solutions for an increasingly polarized and confusing world. Angrynomics is for anyone wondering, where the hell do we go from here?”

You can read the Financial Times review of Angrynomics here.

The Cartesian Talks conversation covered a number of questions:

• What’s the difference between private anger and public anger?
• Why do sports fans get so angry?
• Why should we be trying hard to avoid recessions?
• Why do we use interest rates to set out the economic cycle?
• Are South African government bonds risk assets or safety assets?
• What’s up with global inflation (or, rather, the lack thereof)?
• Should we take ratings agencies seriously?
• Where in the world should we be invested right now?
• When will the world go back to normal?

All these questions – and more – are answered in one hour (believe it or not!) during the sixth instalment of Cartesian Talks.
