[880] The Big Picture: Net Neutrality, Elon Musk, China and more!
It’s Monday! Boom Bust is around the world and breaking it all down. Alex Mihailovich talks Trump and the NAFTA renegotiations while Bianca Facchinei breaks it down as the EU looks to sanction Syrian Scientists. Brigida Santos takes a look as major tech firms remain strong on current net neutrality laws while Marina Portnaya talks about Elon Musk. His dire warning? AI is on the rise and we’ll need strong regulations on it now rather than later. All this while Bitcoin takes a tumble and China sees a boom in their economy. That and more on Boom Bust!
UK Prime Minister Theresa May is the first major foreign leader to visit President Donald Trump in the White House. The trading relationship between the UK and the US is set to change after Brexit, but what does Trump mean for Cuba? Investors are worried Trump may back track on a thawing of relations. The Eurozone is cracking down on cash, but they say it’s part of the larger fight against terrorism and money laundering, some privacy advocates disagree. Then after the break – the fight over the Keystone XL and Dakota Access pipelines are back on after Donald Trump’s approval to put them back on track. TransCanada is already back to work filling out the paperwork for the Keystone XL.

Our lead story: Two bankers have been fired from Goldman Sachs this week after one of them allegedly shared confidential documents from the Federal Reserve of New York within the firm. According to the bank, a junior employee was fired for passing information on to a colleague from the New York Fed, his former employer, while a supervisor was fired for knowing about the matter but not escalating it. This – yet again –raises questions about the bank's cozy relationship with its alleged regulator. Erin weighs in.
Then, Erin sits down with John Brynjolfsson – CIO of Armored Wolf. John talks to us about why he sees technological advancement as a double-edged sword and gives us his take on recent growth in Europe as well as the currency wars now raging globally.
After the break is our Defining Moments segment, including our guests comments on the link between demographics and economics, the trade-off between efficiency and stability, how the UK is handling the drop in oil prices, low interest rates, political and economic constraints in Europe, the petrodollar, and the London housing market. Guests are Marshall Auerback, Frances Coppola, Mark Buchanan, Richard Ebeling and Marin Katusa.
And in The Big Deal, Erin is joined by Boom Bust producers Edward Harrison and Bianca Facchinei to review viewer feedback. Take a look!
