you're. the view growth of something positive. it's great watching our kids grow up or seeing a tree grow. it we always aware that all growth must come to an end. there's a limit nature knows no such thing as infinite growth this rule seems to apply to every kind of growth but one economic growth is somehow supposed to continue indefinitely. we believed them and now there are no limits to growth and human progress when men and women are free to follow their dreams and we were right . if that growth fades to materialize we panic but why.
11:06 pm
does one person recognize the hundred fifty years ago growth is the fundamental principle of our economic system capitalism only works when the economy grows but calm mocks recognize something else as well it is this growth that will eventually destroy the system itself. and today every reach that point is the system about to collapse. at infinite growth actually be possible. the governments don't want us to even question the g word they don't even want to put a discussion around growth if you're looking at this from the outside it an alien arriving from outer space and you're looking at the society. you would really wonder what was going all what are they doing what what is this gross that has to appear in every political sense on some is the basis of every economics textbook what is it all about is it or is it a religion that they have is the god that they're chasing is the virus that's taken
11:07 pm

11:09 pm
a lot there was able to perform much more time marable to build more planes but all the united nations but together to turn our ships at the rate of two hundred a month jobs which carried over the years beyond might of the united states to decide the outcome of a war. the success story of economic growth began during world war two mass production of tanks and aircraft let the american economy out of crisis the output of military equipment was now calculated by a new statistical measure of gross domestic product or g.d.p. if production i.e. g.d.p. grew and so did prosperity americans believed so firmly in this new formula that they compel their allies to bring they cannot make policies in line with it from then on it wasn't people's incomes that counted it was only growth and it turned out to be such a useful measure actually for the war effort and for understanding the war effort that awful would still became the single most important policy number.
11:10 pm
across the world it kind of symbolizes progress to us soldiers says wow things are getting bigger so they must be getting better that was the g.d.p. . in the three decades after the war the western economies grew up to eight percent and in the u.s. they called it the golden age of capitalism in france they were the thirty glorious years in germany it was the economic miracle an entire generation enjoyed material prosperity and full employment and this became engraved in the collective consciousness even though these high growth rates were only made possible by massive water destruction the believe in growth was now unstoppable. g.d.p. became the most important benchmark in history. and the economy in the grace of the economy was doing
11:11 pm
a good job force when when we were young if you like when as an economy as a society we were young and one of the really important things to say is that there are some societies where that is still necessary where you still need that growth where you still need food clothing and shelter whether very very poor undernourished people living on less than the price of a skinny latte from the cafe downstairs and that's why that's a situation where growth makes some sense. but the idea that as human beings all we want is more more stuff doesn't really stack up so after a certain point you have to ask yourself well how much is enough how much how much more do i need to grow the economy to satisfy human appetites. the nineteen seventies so our growth rate sink for the first time due to the oil crisis and other sectors the boom was over the market set your rate its western economy stagnated millions suddenly found themselves unemployed it was uncharted
11:12 pm
territory. for the first time the limits of course became visible economically socially and economically. we do have some understanding about groet. in one thousand nine hundred eighty two a group of scholars commissioned by the club of rome presented a report in washington and titled the limits to growth using a computer simulation research at mit had calculated for the first time what continues economic growth would do to the planet's they're finding set off alarm bells around the world when resource consumption is doubling every twenty years for the first time people were confronted with the fact they can only grow it could also have negative consequences and that the planet's natural limits would soon be reached the success story of growth was in crisis we've reached levels of prosperity which carry the seeds of disruption and necessitate
11:13 pm
a complete relook at the whole world social political novel situation. the club of rome report sold thirty million copies and became a global sensation. and yet soon this cause themselves came under attack their calculations ready tried as irresponsible fear mongering because it's impossible to admit the end except. the success story of growth must continue. unfortunately many of us called us predictions turned out to be right and in many cases reality even surpassed the bleak predictions. as the cover for own reports was causing an international uproar the brazilian rain first in the amazon basin was doing nearly untouched the huge brazilian state of matter grosso largely populated by indigenous people consisted of forest and
11:14 pm
seventy today not much of that is left since the mid eighty's progress aided by international investors has been eating away at the rain forest thirty five football fields of forest disappear every minute it's been the same story over and over again lumberjacks moving first. thank cattle breed s. and finally the sort of thing parents. along with a lot of. this one of one point containers is you need your nail your. aesthetician know what ought is known given we shall not approach government and. below school fairness but as you live out of being there god but on knowing that god is following the cie intone for there is the south side as i am the ia wars are the dance of the fuzzy and the keep thing there. were stamped their heads they
11:15 pm
are. in that good as a side is blue the g. of us both them slightly and then the middle you meant them to mean that you. must or numbers the last when you see a pick your cup down must own all dog and i was. a mark of. the gap is there by god of an apostle. though the sestak lucia's ain been a fierce with who said one you've got a fish losing money. the tropical climate and then the three to four harvests pay year and with that massive profits soy and corn for export an animal feed. i mean one sixty three is the gateway to the amazon basin at both lumberjacks money and destruction into the forest. today countless trucks lined the agribusiness highway transporting

11:17 pm
do you see any limits know the limits of the disk i have and the limits. in response to the crisis of the seventy's economic policy underwent a change of course new growth had to be followed no matter what the cost even if that meant only seeing the prime and falseness of china's capitalist. these had been contained after world war two because there were hundreds of the great depression and the war itself. monetarism was a new magic word. among them was the idea that if you put more money into the economy liquidity it was cool that additional money in the economy would help
11:18 pm
really best that would help give a small production that would allow us to consumable goods and we would get growth back again so this little hiatus if you like in the seventy's primarily caused by the oil crisis led to a transformation in the economics of society and in particular how we think about right now we think about stimulating growth i. governments deregulated financial markets banks insurance companies and investment funds gains in influence and we're now allowed to gamble with currencies stocks even with people's retirement funds capital was that lose and the financial sector was flooded with my. divorce a pact with the devil and the beginning of a slow process of self disempowerment in exchange for growth governments relinquish
11:19 pm
the power to financial markets but who do we mean by financial markets and capital and what does it all have to do with us. the ends group is europe's biggest insurance company and one of the biggest players in the global financial markets. it's been fun for six hundred million oil the from from four hundred million leaving so see shown at one hundred million for the software c.e.o. in the leaves to see showing leading via the four saw get wins o'quinn nine fifty one seats on my country to so first in. the us via some us period of figure one inch owing based your figure one invokes an arc to ill will finzi a party for mukesh cotton and the same box to pot it's a peon so buy spirit box in investments invest it to one in it will be here and
11:20 pm
then in foster to investments in autobahn and would literally zero in on molly to take. the summer was more of a positive closed in in china therefore also on a show although some kind of want to both. in the developed markets in europe and us. they also know new drive us to be seen which we could never knock to a finance if i feel what's in it. is if you put sand high fashion mission via in so going to invest the high sheen visteon i sucked in him obedient it's at the law. as a given in the token fini gun openly given me a in didn't shred and then he can and then who will his facts to mean decent and none mukesh who will have to knock and i defend it and that's after his sister to
11:21 pm
mistake nucleus is to stop it going to push it into over that i never was an invoice spent nine as ish mish to me i'd have it torn if i was to meet forced. thank you sandy six a gothic annoying sicko yahia will miss he thought he could touch up the subjects to a cold case for cough buys of think hard to see one i thought to. look for cough pun . another of millions of insured individuals is sent on its way to multiply when andre has group as a team has a rough idea to which countries and sectors the billions that flow they hire an asset manager he determines what stocks or bonds to invest and. most of our clients are institutions what they want is they want their their money invested in the capital markets. our customers expect their capital to be
11:22 pm
returned they want their money back and they want a return on that given away and the moment there is another agenda. well why i'm commander just one point two trillion euros obvious it's and in germany we're managing four hundred ninety billion euros of a sense of. the financial markets they have a social role in distributing people's savings towards investment and that investment is usually a form of there so when you get you take out a loan for example to buy a house that line could end up in a bone and we could end up buying that phone so growth is important so that individuals and companies who borrow money in the capital markets can actually pay those lines back. off of this free trade and when he said twenty just. imagine a world with zero growth that's
11:23 pm
a world in in which pretty much everything gets frozen if you haven't got a job in this new world with no growth bad luck. you're going to have to wait for somebody to retire before maybe you get their job . a society without growth probably won't work at all not for long it would be jerry and to collapse. without growth societies would descend into chaos according to the financial and political elite. but is that really the case isn't it rather the blind faith in growth that leads us to chaos. in the eighty's the world of finance operating from the city of london and wall street increased its influence and governments and societies and became the driving force of capitalism
11:24 pm
today financial markets not governments determine the wellbeing of anti countries. how did it come to this how could financial markets gain such influence over our lives. one person who knows the financial world better than almost anyone this year at college for nearly thirty years he was a successful fund manager on wall street and in the city of long. known of times people much when i was a scientist and i've been offered twenty thousand pounds to go and stone wall street in one thousand eight. and i was one of the worst i was the beginning. and we went into the new era of reagan thatcher and liberal trade the so-called big bang in the city was all about financial deregulation let's go let the market decide and let's hire people and let's see what happens yes i suppose this really
11:25 pm
kind of control downs which we've had before and it was that we walked into where money now talks now money wins and you need people small people to trade the markets and make finance the powerhouse behind capitalism which is supposed to be. the plan seemed to work the stock markets built roads no longer needed to be financed by increasing wages and tax revenue now it was all about credit governments and individuals to take of loans from banks and investors. so that they could be good consumers and thus generate. credit cards come along overdraft so to use lending for houses becomes widely available and it's at that point that explodes that now it's not just the very
11:26 pm
wealthy have access to all these things consumerism is now people lower down the income scales as well and if you look at money supply in that and supply credits in the early eighty's it just explodes. in access to consumerism and promotion of current consumerism close debt which is created the growth we created and where we are today. the cold logic of the market to go over producing winners and losers. one of the people who knew best how to profit from this new logic was donald trump . i really think i have an instinct but i don't think it's the instinct was shark i think it's the instinct of of maybe getting what i want or knowing how to get what i want. only if you recognize the profit of that unity's in this new era as well as
11:27 pm
donald trump he made large scale purchases of derelict new york apartment blocks and promised to transform them into next three hotels and apartments to see financing from banks high on the market boom and through the largest tax break in new york city history trump himself had practically nothing move heaven is an incredible place where you build a huge building in a sold out in a matter of days i mean you know you build a building with literally three or four hundred units i'm building a building is one of the hottest buildings anyone's ever seen is just selling like hotcakes and then hatton itself is becoming a place of the rich period. the genie was out of the bottle the brave new world of finance or capitalism could no longer be constrained and great efforts were made to set it as
11:28 pm
a controllable and secure system. the whole industry is based around a kind of illusion and the illusion of certainty there is a vested interest if you like inside of the system is to project knowledge and extra knowledge. but they really don't have any more knowledge than. as it takes a tougher line on migrants organized crime in is making vast profits from their misery. people and power investigates the state funded reception centers where the helpless are reduced to commodities ripe for exploitation.

11:35 pm
growth. in economics in demand in jobs markets reason is that people feel wealthier if you look at the textbooks there should be no limits to growth but if you look at the newspapers at the moment i get the feeling there is a is a can a break on both the central question now is whether or not a cyclical slump or there's something structural is going on up biggest. i release of pressure systems empires are based upon people's remains have confidence in the information they giving out in the promotion. of the ideology and the narrative which finance is based around which is increasingly become this kind of game show croce things. for a period time everybody wins. and then there's you know a number of economists marx keynes and pointed out is eventually all these means go on and the question. to those heavy lobbying by the
11:36 pm
financial sector on the government to ensure actually that this financial sector growth could continue and governments believe that it was in the interest of the economy because everyone told the monitors and told them that if you had all this liquidity in the system then you must be growing your real economy but actually what was happening within that system rather was that you freed up all this money which was then used to bet on the increases in the value of certain companies and certain shares and of money itself in the system and the people who were doing that betting were not only profiting from it but they were also the only people who were regulating the system so it created a huge unstable and incredibly. equal system in which the rich got very much richer really very fast. for decades society has been transformed into an enormous market to which there's
11:37 pm
allegedly no alternative. the huge sums few in the financial markets scream for high returns and have penetrated every corner of the globe. new ways are constantly thought to expand profits already in the tree is. the road seems to be getting to small for the capital. when i was a kid i couldn't afford to fly in an airplane i actually joined the air transport industry before i ever flew in here. today people take flying for granted it shaped the way we buy goods it shaped places people go to shape the meetings between people and different cultures. over the next
11:38 pm
twenty years we expect the world to meet thirty two thousand new civil aircraft. at the moment around one billion of the people who live on our planet fly by air regularly. the remaining six billion don't yet fly by air and it's these people who will be tomorrow's passengers and tomorrow's customers in addition for those of us in developed countries who take flying for granted. have to live over the last six years more than one hundred brand new airplanes. charge. on airplanes every string days the changes. that take
11:39 pm
something. as our years a tale bad or something to turn the battle now that we are at last says i'm doing well to. block i thought on stuff that's about to get the audience right but currently we have slightly more than two hundred outposts in china. and every year in the range of ten or fifteen in you want to be zero imagine if everybody. now for the travel expenses even the president was low cost the business walter a worker is willing to travel by air the marketing is fantastic you can't imagine and i i already seems that this is a sign of that that's why when i look at it every time know i'm asking about the
11:40 pm
perspective though the market i cannot imagine is a dime ation of this market where ny has a reference of one point four billion which is even more important than the whole of europe and more atrophy. what do you do about that we made every single effort to try to reduce his emissions but if we look at it as a social benefits and has economic benefits as aviation industry or bring to the humanity and then people may think differently we. are trying to make as well as smaller and smaller. to make it a real village. for
11:41 pm
decades growth was kept on life support with debt only if you had the courage to say that the party couldn't go on forever but no one listened to them. in september two thousand and eight the time had come the house of cards collapsed it's a black monday for the american capital market despite dramatic rescue efforts over the weekend all efforts to keep the world's fourth largest investment bank alive have failed lehmann brothers is shutting its doors for good it's also i think a necessary part of the clean up process i mean we knew it was weak we expected to go it's not going in the way that people expected it to but it's gone.
11:42 pm
a long run i'm confident that our capital markets are flexible and resilient can deal with these adjustments for a long time so that. there was a deep shock in the system there was a sense of my goodness we can't let this happen again governments have to have a better handle on this system and for a while there were attempts to do that it lost it probably a matter of a few months in fact by the end of two thousand and nine and into two thousand and ten. the very same companies been responsible for some of that disaster was still engaging in those same kinds of risky trading procedures that for a while had been stopped in the wake of the crisis and we learned a lesson. but then we forgot it again.
11:43 pm
the financial crisis was a huge opportunity for governments to free the world from its dependency on financial markets and to change the system. but they wasted it instead they did all they could to revise the old system spending trillions of dollars to save the banks . then something incredible happens the banking crisis miraculously became a sovereign debt crisis dr addends became public that governments and the citizens are subjected to a sturdy policy is under which millions of people suffer to this day. thanks to the stock markets however keen to demonstrate a sense of normalcy as soon as possible in reality nothing is as it seems kept the business survive the crisis that no longer functions like it once did. even though it's not as busy as it used to be this is still the center of capitalism you can look at all the tourists who are outside the building taking
11:44 pm
pictures they all still believe this is the center of capitalism it's a symbol of something it means something to that. ten percent i'm sort of like the weatherman for the stock market i come in every day and try to figure out what's going on in the stock market i talk to trading desks i talk to analysts i talk to people who know a lot about the stock market and i go on the air and on the internet and explain what's going on. remember the s. and p. five hundred is down one and a half percent this month you have very clear market leaders and the reason we've had it is because of better prospects for earnings in the fourth quarter remember what the market leaders have been energy tech events lagging today energy tax in banks that's interesting there are mixed. opinions but you know if i just change the broader. human bein's want
11:45 pm
stories they don't want an endless list of numbers nobody is impressed with a list of numbers they want to know. what's going on tell us in plain english what the markets were doing and that's the real skill set and often that's not easy because things are very complicated. people have always claimed that capitalism can be evil and capitalism doesn't help people i completely disagree what i see in the last hundred fifty years is millions of people have been lifted out of poverty i personally am a true believer and still believe that the system works well and i'm committed to that system. at the underfund and the new york about the van that fell from the thousand mention of the market. committee of dimensions in time to get attention because you're
