3:06 pm
and the war itself. i think. monetarism plus a new magic word. among them was the idea that if you put more money into the economy liquidity schooled that additional money in the economy would help really best that would give a small production that would allow us to consume more 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 going to 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
3:07 pm
flooded with my. it was a pact with the devil and the beginning of the slow process of self disempowerment in exchange for growth governments relinquish 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 only ends group is europe's biggest insurance and one of the biggest players in the global financial markets. it's been fun felt six hundred million oil different from four hundred million fifty leaves so see shown at one hundred billion for the software c.e.o. in the leaves to see showing leading via the foresaw get one's o'quinn nine fliss

3:10 pm
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 returned they want their money back and they want to return on that given away and the moment there is a high other agenda. well why i'm commander just one point two trillion euros obvious it and in germany we're managing four hundred ninety billion euros of assets. the financial markets they have a social role in distributing people's savings towards investment and that investment is usually a form of debt so when you you take out a loan for example to buy a house that line could end up in a bond and we could end up buying that phone so growth is important so that
3:11 pm
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 friend you just. imagine a world with zero growth that's 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 cherry 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
3:12 pm
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 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 of.
3:13 pm
how 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 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 i 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 credits governments and individuals rather take of loans from banks and investors. so that they could be good consumers and thus generate. credit
3:14 pm
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 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
3:15 pm
. i really think i have an instinct but i don't think it's the instinct 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 opportunities in this new era as well as. he made large scale purchases of derelict new york apartment blocks and promised to transform them into luxury hotels and apartments to receive financing from banks high on the market boom and through the largest tax break in new york city history trump himself had practically nothing more happen 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 when hatton itself is becoming a place of the rich period. the
3:16 pm
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 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. the. rewind returns. i can bring your people back to life i'm sorry with brand new

rule on any disputed results in next month's general election if he is reinstated growing pain continues next on our air. thank.
3:22 pm
you. if you growth 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. as one person recognized the hundred fifty years ago growth is the fundamental principle of our economic system. capitalism only works when the economy grows but karl marx recognize something else as well it is this growth that
3:23 pm
will eventually destroy the system itself. and today. every week. that point is the system about to collapse. infinite growth actually be possible. the bloomberg company from new york place a central role in the financial system since the nineteen eighties who has provided stock traders and bankers with lightning fast price fluctuations and finance data from around the globe making it one of the world's most influential media companies . around the clock bloomberg news agency in stock market channel broadcast the glad tidings of the free market. our role in financial markets is as a provider of transparency would provide a huge amount of data about the numbers on markets on economies all companies providing a chronicle of capitalism telling the story of money vitally important to bloomberg
3:24 pm
and central to what we about dollars. economic growth dangerous is one of most important numbers we look for if i say fourscore on the on the state of the column a steady solid growth in financial markets do usually reflected in solid stable growth. in economics in demand in jobs markets reason is that people feel wealthier if you look at the text books 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 information systems employees are based upon people's remains have confidence in the information they giving out on the promotion. of the ideology and the narrative which finance is based around which is increasingly become this kind
3:25 pm
of game show approach to things. for a period time everybody wins. and then there's you know a number of economists marx keynes pointed out is eventually all these means go on and the question. to those heavy lobbying by the 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
3:26 pm
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 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 trade. 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
3:27 pm
industry before i ever flew in america. 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 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 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.
3:28 pm
have to live over the last six years more than one hundred brand new airplanes. on airplanes every string days the changes. that take the. heat. i thought there's a retailer or something to turn the bible belt. up sometime. you know all that well. that's what you get the audience was not even there but currently we have slightly more than two hundred alcohols in china a time and every year in a range of ten or fifteen and you have also want to be viewed imagine if everybody cannot fault the travel expenses even the president was low cost the business water
3:29 pm
a worker is willing to travel by the market 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 i'm asking about the perspective of the market i cannot imagine as a dime ation of this market when i have the reference of one point four billion which is even more important than the whole of europe and more atrophy means more what do you do about that we made every single effort to try to reduce as emissions but if we look at it as a social benefits as economic benefits as aviation industry or bring to the humanity and then people may think differently.
3:30 pm
we. are trying to make as well as smaller and smaller us. to make it to a real village. for 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
3:31 pm
have failed lehmann brothers is shutting its doors for good it's also i think a necessary part of the cleanup 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 gong. to. the 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 that 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
3:32 pm
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. 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 revive 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 policies 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
3:33 pm
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 pictures they all still believe this is the center of capitalism it's a symbol of something it means something to them. and said 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 an honest 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 and
3:34 pm
banks that's interesting there are mixed. opinions you know. it bothers me just to try to. get human beings want 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.
3:35 pm
at the underfund and the new york about the van that fell from thousand mention of the market. committee of dimensions in time to get attention because you can just fall into a dozen shots from. windows as the hell is different than the housing this month of the new york stock exchange this is a list the average i was in the first published it. is in this it's the machine just about wins. in jackson cause the death had just eaten by the into name in me a given of adults off the top then to give in and is going to name well. let's come on the awful scene and be among the hostages have been known to the i love village often bells a. long outside but it was in one town well kind of talks to me getting tied to given a sinking truck since trying to balance and cause the doc to mock police towels on
3:36 pm
carpet to fund. it up. i think what we've seen over the last few years is cracks in the in the shiny surface of capitalism. and a first that's what they look like you know they just look as though something not quite right on the the way the light reflects off it and as you look more and more closely. you see this you see that these cracks gay rights and off of the model they go right to the heart of the basic ideas of capitalism. capitalism is to work. the system deliver what it promises. providing growth jobs and prosperity for all.
3:37 pm
the on both sides because your new smart factory in that scene is this just a. little torn off. in the middle on the cabinets you can see so often you're. not really sure cicely's it's you just like you're in study of a couple or three feet of your heart but the life of the soul. on a lot of. unix boxes been diminished. but that's in the city on the bend us on the on the bad self you can fall to. understand on this is all by not talk as it's box that was on the top is that in the book is that's come mostly fresh lisa. ever since the industrial revolution machines have been replacing you label thereby causing great societal upheaval it's. but until recently they had only replaced the
3:38 pm
physical labor of humans. now machines are capable of doing what makes us human soon they are able to think it's a completely new chapter in human history which will have massive consequences on how we live and work. can technology thanks watson can. be a mountain is a technology unlike any that's come before because rather than course humans to think like a computer watson interacts achievements on. human terms. sepsis twenty students is among the dead because of cockney teeth east on to this jesus team and off to compliment. and dom it's even a star kids. get an insight into steam in how to bite something lengths unemployment's in full view in the high end of the discus something contexts into plenty of them heaven into system begins. when time goes entirely deceive us also
3:39 pm
did not have hospital was just him all talk and on to it. if you're interested in checking it that you're a spectator stand evolution's it makes this whole notion take great great gesture. as well as picture the rights of a mystery mission get guess who can be able to do it right the evil cult. is to keep it from me should i put it in self roll thanks to interact with thinking i'm showing. thank. you isn't me stop by and zoom in on a farm said bob so shuffle and getting tired here i can finish my work. then never get off the indians i next see on t.v. ted sometimes that's bullying. and just how true and extremists offend extremist peavy leak. in the future agribusiness and robots will be able to carry out nearly every would seem to previously. have
3:40 pm
jobs for. these new technologies i think another growth but that much in the way. and that could endanger capitalism itself. to be able to access all the nice things mass produced every day when there are not enough people who can pay for them with their wages. in financial markets algorithms have long since been running the show computers interact with other computers and fractions of seconds without any human input.
3:41 pm
in this room that's what we do here we have an on off switch right moves there's really no human in our bench and i really don't believe in leaving the room and letting you know something trade on attempted it's about being there with that with the creation you know you've worked on. you know even if i don't i don't know you don't control it but you watch it is it doing everything they designed it to do. there are many mathematical models that come out of fields such as horse betting that are used and are business as kind of fundamental pieces of algorithmic trading we somehow project and then our couple this society this idea. that that this is a safe environment for people to build up their rear tire meant time is actually a hyper competitive environment and. depending on the product there's there's you
3:42 pm
know sometimes i feel safer going into a casino than trading certain products in our space i mean. it is a very different world than the way it's advertised to the general public. financial markets out of control and no longer have any connections to reality why the algorithms and robots produce growth they only provide work and prosperity for a few and it's this growth that's destroying our future on the planet. the signs that something has gone wrong with the a system that's become impossible to overlook so why do we consistently ignore them . this is for t.v. the network was always stuck together for your. time trusting a lot better now than i was before i did you know because if they even hire you
3:43 pm
style you know to me. you guys look like so you obviously don't know what i'm talking about but you know this is a really nice quote i call it one of the most powerful name in financial television wall street week his back yes the news guy bridge actually purchased the rights to wall street i view myself as a capital artist again this company that i've created is my campus. i know you guys in the media don't like capitalism but you know someone's had to pay for the camera and the microphone so i mean at the end of the day the capital system is the only system that we've been able to design that works. let's talk about growth ok there is a perception right now in these elitist academic salons ok now we're not going to grow anymore well that's just flat out wrong if you study five thousand five hundred years of human history we know that human beings are designed to have great intellectual curiosity and to innovate there are so many things that we're going to
3:44 pm
do over the next fifty years is going to shock everybody in terms or keep ability we're going to pull asteroids down from the asteroid belt or a load of platinum that would be where the first trillionaire comes from we're going to unlock the ability to stop aging or destroyed cancerous cells in our bodies all of this innovation is ahead of us and there's a tremendous opportunity for growth. this a sense of desperation so this strategy that we don't want to base a realistic in the world we would much rather have. you know a total fantasy for our guiding star we would like to have this vision that we don't have to think about detailing christ we have to think about making grows even stronger we have to go for it we have to make america great again we have we can all be billionaires we can all we have property empires and of course it's
3:45 pm
a little asian i think it goes back to exactly that same simple basic fact we live on a file of planet that there isn't the space for the dream of this reinvigorated the rest fetich this is. just. we live in extraordinary times our world is becoming increasingly complex. and many are disappointed to find that they are worse off than they used to be. but instead of doubting the economic system they turn to those who have profited from it the most those who continually promise new proofs. for these empty promises more and more people are apparently willing to sacrifice democracy peace and then vironment. capitalism has reached a new level of escalation but it's no longer suited to the world we live in. it's
3:46 pm
and it's closer than we think. hello we've had a couple of fine days that not just in iran but throughout live and so it's time to bring another storm system in there is it's one that's been really quite active in the eastern med particular across turkey it'll swing in and it's just this line here but ahead of it is inducing yet more rain this green that runs out of egypt through northern saudi and jordan that is just developing in situ more or less produce some fairly heavy downpours and last a day or two does not attempt very much it's eighteen degrees in baghdad but the dark darkness in the green suggests some pretty heavy rain in eastern iraq running up to the north coast it will be snow to get to the high ground in turkey in northern syria and tolerate all well briefed and showers all systems rain comes
3:47 pm
back to lebanon this is during monday because the tail agree which is rain goes into saudi arabia and it often goes further south and this is one of those times so at first on sunday ahead of it nice to have was drawn up from the sasa twenty eight in their horror riyad the still hazy atmosphere and then this swings in from monday so this is still with us but the showers are quite sparky i think in the data and this line is heading down towards the gulf states probably for tuesday. each year childhood and spine estimated fifteen million girls globally omeri before the age of eighteen. young girls compelled to marry after fleeing the war in syria share their stories on talk to al-jazeera.
