1
00:00:01,440 --> 00:00:04,360
Speaker 1: So imagine you had around four hundred senior leaders and

2
00:00:04,400 --> 00:00:07,160
Speaker 1: thinkers from around the world gathered in one room for

3
00:00:07,240 --> 00:00:09,639
Speaker 1: two days to think about the future of the global

4
00:00:09,680 --> 00:00:12,160
Speaker 1: economy and how to make it better. What would you

5
00:00:12,160 --> 00:00:16,800
Speaker 1: want to talk about first? It's not just a thought experiment.

6
00:00:17,040 --> 00:00:19,160
Speaker 1: That's exactly what is going to happen in Singapore this

7
00:00:19,280 --> 00:00:22,919
Speaker 1: November at the Bloomberg New Economy Forum, and this being

8
00:00:22,920 --> 00:00:25,720
Speaker 1: in my Bloomberg production. They're going to talk about a lot,

9
00:00:26,120 --> 00:00:30,120
Speaker 1: including climate change, technology and finance, the future of cities,

10
00:00:30,160 --> 00:00:35,080
Speaker 1: and the challenge of inclusion. I'm Stephanie Flanders, head of

11
00:00:35,080 --> 00:00:38,720
Speaker 1: Bloomberg Economics. I'm studying the conversation early with the New

12
00:00:38,720 --> 00:00:42,880
Speaker 1: Economy Podcasts, a six part series involving some of Bloomberg's

13
00:00:42,880 --> 00:00:48,200
Speaker 1: smartest analysts and reporters. International relations as a discipline hasn't

14
00:00:48,280 --> 00:00:52,440
Speaker 1: come up with any new paradigm since ancient Greece, which

15
00:00:52,479 --> 00:00:56,200
Speaker 1: I think reflects badly on international relations scholars. I have

16
00:00:56,320 --> 00:01:00,200
Speaker 1: never seen anything like this plant at Rolls Royce. The

17
00:01:00,280 --> 00:01:03,840
Speaker 1: robots operating behind the windows of the big boxes are

18
00:01:03,880 --> 00:01:10,840
Speaker 1: constantly self optimizing, that is, remeasuring themselves. When I started

19
00:01:10,840 --> 00:01:13,960
Speaker 1: investigating the Green Book, I discovered that many trade experts

20
00:01:13,959 --> 00:01:16,800
Speaker 1: hadn't heard of it. I asked the Chinese government to

21
00:01:16,840 --> 00:01:18,520
Speaker 1: talk to me about it, but I had a brick

22
00:01:18,520 --> 00:01:25,039
Speaker 1: wall of silence. Mounting segregation, mounting poverty, massive concentrated disadvantage.

23
00:01:25,400 --> 00:01:27,800
Speaker 1: This geography of haves and have nots is creating the

24
00:01:27,800 --> 00:01:31,360
Speaker 1: greatest political backlash and the greatest political crisis of our time.

25
00:01:31,520 --> 00:01:34,240
Speaker 1: I read a lot of science fiction, and I know

26
00:01:34,360 --> 00:01:36,520
Speaker 1: that about I would say about one third of science

27
00:01:36,560 --> 00:01:41,120
Speaker 1: fiction scenarios tend to come truth. That's the new economy coming.

28
00:01:41,120 --> 00:01:43,880
Speaker 1: October twenty nine
