so i made my way to cambridge to meet him. it must have been a holiday, because when i arrived at littauer, the building was completely empty. i sat outside his office and waited for him. and when he showed up, i noticed that he was wearing cowboy boots and, homer simpson cufflinks, which i took to be a very good omen as i got to know harvey over years, i came to appreciate his many good qualities, but not as much as his great sense of humor, something that he shares with machiavelli of his various funny remarks, both written and spoken, has always stood out to me. the final sentence of his note on the translation in his edition of the prince, where he says, and quote, if the reader thinks my translation a bad one, let him try his own. if he thinks it good, let him learn italian thinking. the translation of i took harvey's advice and enrolled in italian. but whatever knowledge of the language managed did not change my mind about the quality of his translation. as all this was going on, two fellow graduate students bill knows,

a college lecturer in economics and cambridge. thank you as always for joining us.initial reaction to the news? >> she had to go, didn't she? she had no credibility left, and the british government was literally falling apart and it seems. i think realistically, she was doomed from the very beginning. she was elected as the leader of the conservative party is our prime minister on a series of promises that were simply not deliverable. she promised a fairytale, and we know it happens when a fairytale meets the real world. the speed of her downfall is interesting. it reflects some aggressive markets, give -- given that tough global circumstances right there. markets are at a rather nervous point in the cycle. but having said that, it is hard to imagine a bigger catalog of self-imposed errors that she has inflicted. she has behaved like a medieval monarch. her fiscal plan had numbers that simply do not add up. it was eight complete lack of respect for what are really basic, but fundamental institutions of economic policymaking. she didn't speak to the bank of england a

let us turn to catherine barnard , professor at cambridge university. thank you for joining us.t to start with right sentiment comes to rishi sunak. he was one of the early exitiers before boris johnson. a proposed law would give them the power to override the brexit deal. where does rishi sunak fall into this? prof. barnard: good question. this law does sunsetting. two point -- 2500 pieces on the statute book. sunsetting means turnoff on the first of december, 2023. rishi sunak said he would turn it all off within 100 days, which essentially means in january. liz truss says she wanted to turn it off by the end of 2020 three, but what we have learned since all of the shenanigans of the summer is that the markets want u.k. to be a stable place and not to be making radical decisions. the interesting question is whether rishi sunak might decide that this legislation goes too far, too fast and that a positive is needed or some sort of reassessment so that all of this legislation does not just get turned off automatically. jon: catherine, it is such a long list of to do's for the inc

the damage to cambridge linking russia to occupy the crimea. he said ukraine special forces were behind the attack and added it was meant to destroy russian civilian infrastructure. perkins accusation came after a russian missile attack in ukraine, southeastern city of zapper, asia that killed at least 13 civilians engulfed in flames after saturday's explosion. now, president putin has pin the blame on ukraine. there is no doubt it was a terrorist act directed to the destruction of critically important civilian infrastructure on the author's perpetrators on those who ordered us are the special services of ukraine. good. while ukraine hasn't claimed responsibility for the explosion, the bridge which has since partially reopened, is a key supply route for russian forces in southern ukraine. and keith has previously threatened to targeted putins accusation came hours off to russian missiles toll through this apartment block in the southeastern city of separation. more than a dozen people were killed in the attack that had multiple residential buil

we completed a couple years ago in c cambridge our life science center of 3 million square feet and wet feet for the city of cambridge, building an independent apartment unit. we sold it off because we don't operate and manage those but it was a great help to the community and that was new construction, not repurposed but there's a huge demand on both the available or the need on the housing side and the need on the office side to look for a solution that is positive all the way around. maria: mark. >> hey, joel, mark tepper. good morning. question for you. >> good morning. >> the conversion of he these office buildings into residential units, is essentially the real estate industry expecting a trend reversal? if you remember, you go back to the pandemic, it seems like everyone left the downtown areas, the central business districts and they all wanted to move to the suburbs so is the real estate industry, are you folks expecting that that trend will reverse and people will now again want to live in the central business districts? >> well, i think more and more clearly companies, publi

again, man y thanks to cambridge and everyone on private case teams (inaudible) we continue working on incorporated review of what to expect in terms of cash-flow distributions and contributions from private managers. then we pull it all together and this is where there is a short-term view and long-term view. we pull it all together in the long-term view to understand if this is our strategic asset allocation to private. if this is out-pacing what does it mean to our liquidity needs going forward and how we are meeting that? we also introduce a couple years ago longer term liquidity measures, such as liquidity coverage ratios as well as a framework that relates allocations to private assets and the spending needs. we'll review it later. that is the longer term review with asset allocations and liquidity needs. for shorter term, regularly we review the rebalancing needs. what capital costs we are receiving. how are we sending the cash monthly pension payments? what are the expected pre-payments and contributions? we pull it all together and we also plan where are we going to take that

let's get more from a political economist at the university of cambridge. >> it has bee really interestinghow the bank and government have interacted over all of this. as you mentioned, they got involved quite soon after the mini budget, announcing they would buy gilts in orr to quell volatility in the market. on monday the announced two things. the original emergency interventions would end on october 14 as planned. and also for the remaining few days of this week, they would buy up to 10 billion pounds each day in gilts. the second part of that is not a huge deal because it did not change the total amount available, the 65 billion pounds. but what i think markets were reacting to more, the emergency facility would close as planned on a tovar 14. -- october 14. the bank to moderate this announcement with a new, temporary expanded repo facility they announced, which essentially means, while we will not be buying gilts by the emergency facility after friday, we will lend money to banks on extremely favorable terms. lewis: that kind of promise to lend on favorable terms, has that done enough

over the summer he was secretly recorded at a garden party in cambridge wells boasting to a group of tory members that he personally moved money away from deprived areas to wealthy places instead. rather than apologize or pretend he meant something else, why doesn't he now do the right thing and undo the changes that he made to those funding formulas? >> mr. speaker. [laughter] >> i know the right honorable gentlemen rarely leaves north london. but if he does, if he does, he will know there are deprived areas in rural communities and coastal communities and across the south, and this government will relentlessly support them because we are a government that will deliver to people across the united kingdom. he mentioned the last few weeks. i'm the first to admit mistakes were made and that is the reason i'm standing here but that is the difference between him and me. this summer i was talking good, i was being honest about the difficulty we were facing, so when he ran for leader, he promised his party he would borrow billions and billions of pounds. i told the truth for the good of th

he's also president of queens college in cambridge. he's here to join us from new york.le week in the u.s. stock market. volatility has been ever present, i would say, during this calendar year, but this week seemed really volatile. for our audience, break it down. what's going on? what's the source, if you can identify it, of that volatility. >>, so the main source of this volatility is changing perceptions of the federal reserve. we are in this incredible situation, major, where good news for the economy is bad news for the markets. and that's because the markets are worried that the federal reserve will tip us into recession by overreacting to strong economic news. >> every white house i've ever covered, and it's been more than one or two, says the markets isn't the economy. the economy is the economy. what markets do, markets are going to do. even so, volatility affects people's retirement their planning and sense of medium and long-term futures. how should people be looking at that? when they hear the president, as you did on friday, talk about navigating this trans

joining me right now, queens college cambridge president, mohamed el-erian.y sharp slowdown, a recession next year. can you assess where we are for the macro story and what you're expecting next year? >> yes, maria. we are in a situation where interest rates are continuing to go up into a slowing domestic economy. why? because inflation has been high and persistent. why? because the federal reserve has been late. so we are in this awful situation that we have seen historically where the fed ends up tipping us into recession. les one interesting aspect here which is financial stability's also being threatened. maria: yes, it's a great point, because that's what happened mt. u.k. and i want to get your take on the bank of england's response to financial instability. but let's stay domestic for a moment because i'm trying to understand how bad things will get and what you're expecting and what you're telling clients and advising in terms of protecting one's self or protecting your company in the face of what could be a severe version. >> well, the most important

but what's the environmental cost of all this cambridge university says, bitcoin pumps out as much c o $2.00 per year as a country like the czech republic and consumes as much energy as the whole of highlands. then greg tells me something astounding when we started the project. 4 or 5 years ago, the mining economics for bitcoin were really enough to support the plant. thanks for the state of pennsylvania in a, in a bipartisan way, modified the rules a bit to allow us to earn more of a, what's called the renewable energy credit. and that isn't that plus higher power prices was a port is running today. so pennsylvania not only called coal waste, an alternative energy source, it actually subsidizes stronghold to burn the stuff to make bitcoin. how can this be? oh, because of this in the toxic legacy of nearly a century of coal mining coal fat, the furnace is a pennsylvania is once mighty steel industry. and this waste, sprawling across the state in fast flank keeps, is the low quality material left over from the mining acid and poisonous heavy metals. leach out at them. bill spence, his

neil mackay runs this hardware store in cambridge. but he's noticed they're holding off on bigger—ticket items, and he's having to absorb higher costs to keep his prices down. we cannot pass on all of the price rises that our suppliers are charging us. if we did, we simply wouldn't sell them. it's all about people's confidence, and they simply are being very careful with the way they spend money at the moment. and neil's experience tallies with the latest official figures, which show that retail sales fell 1.4% in september. for the first time, we are buying less than before the pandemic. now, while consumer spending is falling, government spending is rising. in september alone the government borrowed £20 billion — that's the second highest number for september on record, and interest on government total debt rose to nearly £8 billion. that's nearly twice what the uk spends on defence per month. and the interest rate of government borrowing has quadrupled nearly since the beginning of this year, from just over 1% to 4% now. now, most
