WEBVTT - Coming Soon: The New Economy

0:00:01.440 --> 0:00:04.360
<v Speaker 1>So imagine you had around four hundred senior leaders and

0:00:04.400 --> 0:00:07.160
<v Speaker 1>thinkers from around the world gathered in one room for

0:00:07.240 --> 0:00:09.639
<v Speaker 1>two days to think about the future of the global

0:00:09.680 --> 0:00:12.160
<v Speaker 1>economy and how to make it better. What would you

0:00:12.160 --> 0:00:16.800
<v Speaker 1>want to talk about first? It's not just a thought experiment.

0:00:17.040 --> 0:00:19.160
<v Speaker 1>That's exactly what is going to happen in Singapore this

0:00:19.280 --> 0:00:22.919
<v Speaker 1>November at the Bloomberg New Economy Forum, and this being

0:00:22.920 --> 0:00:25.720
<v Speaker 1>in my Bloomberg production. They're going to talk about a lot,

0:00:26.120 --> 0:00:30.120
<v Speaker 1>including climate change, technology and finance, the future of cities,

0:00:30.160 --> 0:00:35.080
<v Speaker 1>and the challenge of inclusion. I'm Stephanie Flanders, head of

0:00:35.080 --> 0:00:38.720
<v Speaker 1>Bloomberg Economics. I'm studying the conversation early with the New

0:00:38.720 --> 0:00:42.880
<v Speaker 1>Economy Podcasts, a six part series involving some of Bloomberg's

0:00:42.880 --> 0:00:48.200
<v Speaker 1>smartest analysts and reporters. International relations as a discipline hasn't

0:00:48.280 --> 0:00:52.440
<v Speaker 1>come up with any new paradigm since ancient Greece, which

0:00:52.479 --> 0:00:56.200
<v Speaker 1>I think reflects badly on international relations scholars. I have

0:00:56.320 --> 0:01:00.200
<v Speaker 1>never seen anything like this plant at Rolls Royce. The

0:01:00.280 --> 0:01:03.840
<v Speaker 1>robots operating behind the windows of the big boxes are

0:01:03.880 --> 0:01:10.840
<v Speaker 1>constantly self optimizing, that is, remeasuring themselves. When I started

0:01:10.840 --> 0:01:13.960
<v Speaker 1>investigating the Green Book, I discovered that many trade experts

0:01:13.959 --> 0:01:16.800
<v Speaker 1>hadn't heard of it. I asked the Chinese government to

0:01:16.840 --> 0:01:18.520
<v Speaker 1>talk to me about it, but I had a brick

0:01:18.520 --> 0:01:25.039
<v Speaker 1>wall of silence. Mounting segregation, mounting poverty, massive concentrated disadvantage.

0:01:25.400 --> 0:01:27.800
<v Speaker 1>This geography of haves and have nots is creating the

0:01:27.800 --> 0:01:31.360
<v Speaker 1>greatest political backlash and the greatest political crisis of our time.

0:01:31.520 --> 0:01:34.240
<v Speaker 1>I read a lot of science fiction, and I know

0:01:34.360 --> 0:01:36.520
<v Speaker 1>that about I would say about one third of science

0:01:36.560 --> 0:01:41.120
<v Speaker 1>fiction scenarios tend to come truth. That's the new economy coming.
