That's a Bloomberg business flash. Tom 27 00:01:19,920 --> 00:01:22,319 Speaker 1: and Mike Karen, thank you very much. Tom and I 28 00:01:22,360 --> 00:01:25,959 Speaker 1: are in London all week for the Brexit debate. Somebody 29 00:01:25,959 --> 00:01:31,200 Speaker 1: who already brexited is Danny Blanchflower. He said he left 30 00:01:31,240 --> 00:01:34,880 Speaker 1: the country. I was a former member of the Monetary 31 00:01:34,880 --> 00:01:38,440 Speaker 1: Policy Committee. Now hangs out in Hanover, New Hampshire, in 32 00:01:38,480 --> 00:01:42,600 Speaker 1: the United States of America at Dartmouth College as a 33 00:01:42,600 --> 00:01:47,680 Speaker 1: professor of economics. UM, clearly, uh, you find an economic 34 00:01:47,720 --> 00:01:50,520 Speaker 1: reason to leave, But can you make it? Can you 35 00:01:50,600 --> 00:01:55,720 Speaker 1: make a case for the economics of brexit. There's a 36 00:01:55,720 --> 00:01:59,480 Speaker 1: lot of emotion, there is a lot of question about 37 00:02:00,320 --> 00:02:04,480 Speaker 1: European bureaucracy and whether or not the British have their 38 00:02:04,520 --> 00:02:07,880 Speaker 1: own can make the determine their own destiny. But at 39 00:02:07,880 --> 00:02:10,880 Speaker 1: an economic basis, can you say there's a way to 40 00:02:10,880 --> 00:02:14,760 Speaker 1: be better off without the European Unions. Well, my my 41 00:02:14,840 --> 00:02:18,239 Speaker 1: dear friend Jared Lyons, who's graduate student with me, has 42 00:02:18,280 --> 00:02:22,000 Speaker 1: made has made a case, as have Roger Bootle and 43 00:02:22,120 --> 00:02:26,240 Speaker 1: a number of others in the UK. But dominantly the 44 00:02:26,280 --> 00:02:30,240 Speaker 1: economics profession thinks that this is a dangerous leap in 45 00:02:30,280 --> 00:02:36,840 Speaker 1: the dark um, going essentially to who knows where. Yesterday 46 00:02:36,840 --> 00:02:40,560 Speaker 1: in the Guardian, ten Nobel Prize winners in economics led 47 00:02:40,560 --> 00:02:45,160 Speaker 1: by Chris Piser, readers and Marlies and others said that 48 00:02:45,200 --> 00:02:48,880 Speaker 1: this was a dangerous thing to do, and economies the 49 00:02:48,880 --> 00:02:51,560 Speaker 1: other day and with which I was a signatory, said 50 00:02:51,600 --> 00:02:54,760 Speaker 1: they thought Brexit was a mistake. I think more than 51 00:02:54,840 --> 00:02:58,880 Speaker 1: anything that you are going to the unknown. Is absolutely 52 00:02:58,960 --> 00:03:03,800 Speaker 1: unclear what post Brexit vote world would look like. Um. 53 00:03:03,919 --> 00:03:07,079 Speaker 1: There are sovereign arguments, there are arguments about the fact 54 00:03:07,080 --> 00:03:09,600 Speaker 1: that you don't want to be associated with the EU, 55 00:03:09,720 --> 00:03:12,919 Speaker 1: but I think everybody thinks that they look very dangerous. 56 00:03:13,280 --> 00:03:15,920 Speaker 1: But what's happened, of course, is that people say forecast 57 00:03:15,960 --> 00:03:20,359 Speaker 1: by economists have been so absolutely terrible. Many of these 58 00:03:20,360 --> 00:03:24,080 Speaker 1: economists says that the UK should actually not stay with 59 00:03:24,160 --> 00:03:27,200 Speaker 1: the pound and should join the Euro. So this is 60 00:03:27,240 --> 00:03:30,760 Speaker 1: a very complex debate. But I would say, you know, 61 00:03:30,800 --> 00:03:33,680 Speaker 1: on the one hand, on the other hand, economics dominantly 62 00:03:34,240 --> 00:03:38,880 Speaker 1: economists think that they should the UK should remain, and 63 00:03:38,920 --> 00:03:41,680 Speaker 1: with the market with the Pole moves towards that. Today, 64 00:03:41,880 --> 00:03:44,680 Speaker 1: the markets have seemed to follow that and seemed to 65 00:03:44,680 --> 00:03:49,600 Speaker 1: think that remain is much safer bet. But you know, 66 00:03:49,640 --> 00:03:51,400 Speaker 1: I think the poles are too close to call. Who 67 00:03:51,400 --> 00:03:54,440 Speaker 1: knows what direction the biases. Maybe it looks like Scotland, 68 00:03:54,440 --> 00:03:56,880 Speaker 1: but I think the economics are you should stay where 69 00:03:56,880 --> 00:04:01,880 Speaker 1: you are, you shouldn't leave. And uh, how would you 70 00:04:02,440 --> 00:04:05,000 Speaker 1: go about modeling that? I mean, how do you figure 71 00:04:05,000 --> 00:04:08,320 Speaker 1: it out if it's if it's so complicated. Well, I 72 00:04:08,360 --> 00:04:11,680 Speaker 1: think the answer is that, um, it's really very hard 73 00:04:11,760 --> 00:04:15,000 Speaker 1: to do. You think of it as a shock, I mean, 74 00:04:15,040 --> 00:04:18,160 Speaker 1: I think the answer is that in the short term 75 00:04:18,240 --> 00:04:21,240 Speaker 1: it would essentially be a surprise. So you know, Will 76 00:04:21,240 --> 00:04:23,680 Speaker 1: Will we will be watching on Thursday night if there 77 00:04:23,760 --> 00:04:26,560 Speaker 1: is a Brexit vote. You would imagine that there would 78 00:04:26,560 --> 00:04:30,599 Speaker 1: be a sharp surprise to the markets. The rise in 79 00:04:30,600 --> 00:04:32,760 Speaker 1: in in Sterling that we've seen over our four or 80 00:04:32,800 --> 00:04:36,400 Speaker 1: five days presumably would reverse itself. But the question then 81 00:04:36,440 --> 00:04:39,520 Speaker 1: in the long run would things be better, But it's 82 00:04:39,560 --> 00:04:43,000 Speaker 1: certainly true in the short run that the markets would 83 00:04:43,040 --> 00:04:45,479 Speaker 1: go into a tizzy, would have a major impact on 84 00:04:45,600 --> 00:04:48,800 Speaker 1: the on the town. And I assume that the MPs, 85 00:04:48,839 --> 00:04:51,839 Speaker 1: if there's a vote for Brexit by by dawn on 86 00:04:52,000 --> 00:04:55,680 Speaker 1: for Friday, the MPC will have an emergency meeting that Friday, 87 00:04:55,839 --> 00:04:57,680 Speaker 1: and their puzzle, of course, is to know whether to 88 00:04:57,760 --> 00:05:01,160 Speaker 1: raise rates or to lower them. How do you respond 89 00:05:01,640 --> 00:05:04,320 Speaker 1: to a group of economists that say the whole thing's 90 00:05:04,400 --> 00:05:10,320 Speaker 1: overwright Granted it's political, granted it's migration, immigration, etcetera. How 91 00:05:10,360 --> 00:05:13,480 Speaker 1: do you respond to people that say changes won't be 92 00:05:13,600 --> 00:05:17,599 Speaker 1: that great within the macroeconomics of continental Europe or the 93 00:05:17,680 --> 00:05:19,840 Speaker 1: United Kingdom. Yeah, I've heard you, and I heard you're 94 00:05:19,839 --> 00:05:22,960 Speaker 1: talking st Olivia, Blancheard and others of thinking that I mean, 95 00:05:23,000 --> 00:05:25,200 Speaker 1: I always think as the role of a central banker 96 00:05:25,520 --> 00:05:29,040 Speaker 1: and a policymaker is always that you should prepare for 97 00:05:29,080 --> 00:05:32,039 Speaker 1: the worst and hope for the better. The danger, I 98 00:05:32,080 --> 00:05:34,560 Speaker 1: think for those who say all would really be fined, 99 00:05:34,600 --> 00:05:37,680 Speaker 1: don't worry about it if they can't really answer the question, 100 00:05:37,760 --> 00:05:40,239 Speaker 1: what if you're wrong? What if there is a flight 101 00:05:40,320 --> 00:05:43,360 Speaker 1: just capital? What if there are more companies than four 102 00:05:43,480 --> 00:05:47,400 Speaker 1: who apparently today have written to their fourteen thousand members 103 00:05:47,400 --> 00:05:50,680 Speaker 1: and workers in the UK saying abrexive vote would be 104 00:05:50,760 --> 00:05:54,480 Speaker 1: very dangerous for them. I mean, clearly that would be 105 00:05:54,520 --> 00:05:56,840 Speaker 1: a worry. But I think the answer to those who say, 106 00:05:57,160 --> 00:06:00,200 Speaker 1: don't worry about it all would be, well, is they 107 00:06:00,240 --> 00:06:02,800 Speaker 1: don't really have a counter too, or what if you're 108 00:06:02,800 --> 00:06:04,920 Speaker 1: wrong and things are much worse than that and there 109 00:06:05,000 --> 00:06:08,120 Speaker 1: is a flight of capital and the markets, the markets 110 00:06:08,160 --> 00:06:10,960 Speaker 1: really worry a lot, and the danger could be that 111 00:06:11,040 --> 00:06:13,960 Speaker 1: this could essentially be a global shocks of the global economy, 112 00:06:14,160 --> 00:06:17,560 Speaker 1: perhaps even comparable to two thousand and eight. Supposing that 113 00:06:17,680 --> 00:06:20,560 Speaker 1: is true, you just can't allow for such a major 114 00:06:20,720 --> 00:06:25,919 Speaker 1: downside risk. Hence why um Janet Yellen, the President of 115 00:06:25,920 --> 00:06:27,840 Speaker 1: the United States, the I m F, the O E, 116 00:06:27,880 --> 00:06:32,960 Speaker 1: C D and everyone has come out and said beware, beware, beware. Well, 117 00:06:33,080 --> 00:06:36,039 Speaker 1: they do have the swap lines in place. Dollars would 118 00:06:36,040 --> 00:06:42,480 Speaker 1: be available. Mark Karney can issue a statement and soaking 119 00:06:42,560 --> 00:06:45,080 Speaker 1: Janet Yell and saying you know we stand by to 120 00:06:45,160 --> 00:06:50,960 Speaker 1: meet any liquidity needs. How much wood markets really panic? Well, 121 00:06:51,000 --> 00:06:53,400 Speaker 1: I don't know the answer to that, um, I mean, 122 00:06:53,880 --> 00:06:56,240 Speaker 1: I don't know the answer to the cause and nobody does. 123 00:06:56,880 --> 00:07:00,240 Speaker 1: UM that in some sense I still think my that 124 00:07:00,279 --> 00:07:05,240 Speaker 1: a that a Brexit change has not been priced in today. 125 00:07:05,320 --> 00:07:07,800 Speaker 1: The market has moved away thinking that actually this is 126 00:07:07,800 --> 00:07:12,040 Speaker 1: going to be like a Scottish event. But supposing on Thursday, 127 00:07:12,080 --> 00:07:15,440 Speaker 1: Thursday night, we actually get a Brexit vote, I mean, 128 00:07:15,480 --> 00:07:17,720 Speaker 1: in some sense that would be a shock. I think, 129 00:07:18,160 --> 00:07:21,440 Speaker 1: um and that concern. I think the shock and the 130 00:07:21,520 --> 00:07:23,720 Speaker 1: and the fact that it's not priced in by the market. 131 00:07:24,080 --> 00:07:26,760 Speaker 1: I mean they were pricing in two days ago. Now 132 00:07:26,760 --> 00:07:28,960 Speaker 1: it's moved the other way. But if it suddenly swings back, 133 00:07:29,120 --> 00:07:33,600 Speaker 1: presume the advantasy volatility. Let's do this, professor, Let's come back. 134 00:07:33,640 --> 00:07:36,280 Speaker 1: Danny Blanche of course, former member of the Bank of 135 00:07:36,320 --> 00:07:39,960 Speaker 1: England from Dartmouth College.

You've got wage curves and other European countries. 172 00:09:45,559 --> 00:09:49,640 Speaker 1: You talk of Canada, South Korea, Australia and other nations. 173 00:09:49,679 --> 00:09:52,520 Speaker 1: This morning in the Times of London there is simply 174 00:09:52,559 --> 00:09:57,160 Speaker 1: a discussion of Norway and of the Canadian model of 175 00:09:57,200 --> 00:10:01,960 Speaker 1: a United Kingdom x Europe. What should we be afraid 176 00:10:02,000 --> 00:10:05,920 Speaker 1: of or worried about in our analysis of the United 177 00:10:06,000 --> 00:10:12,040 Speaker 1: Kingdom versus Norway or Canada. Well, that's a great question. 178 00:10:12,200 --> 00:10:15,200 Speaker 1: I mean, I think the reality is that the people 179 00:10:15,240 --> 00:10:18,920 Speaker 1: who have been advocating leave have been unable to say 180 00:10:19,000 --> 00:10:23,080 Speaker 1: what a post Brexit world would look like. Is it Norway? 181 00:10:23,280 --> 00:10:26,520 Speaker 1: Is it Switzlerserland? And actually one of them actually advocated 182 00:10:26,559 --> 00:10:29,120 Speaker 1: that the model ought to be Albania tom so imagine 183 00:10:29,160 --> 00:10:32,319 Speaker 1: that rather than Norway or Switzerland. I mean, the question 184 00:10:32,480 --> 00:10:35,920 Speaker 1: is what sort of arrangements could be made once you 185 00:10:36,080 --> 00:10:39,560 Speaker 1: leave the external the free market with its external barrier, 186 00:10:40,200 --> 00:10:43,120 Speaker 1: um what arrangements would be made with it, with the 187 00:10:43,160 --> 00:10:46,559 Speaker 1: European Union and elsewhere, And the answer is we simply 188 00:10:46,679 --> 00:10:50,240 Speaker 1: don't know, and the leavers have been unable to enumerate that. 189 00:10:50,559 --> 00:10:53,960 Speaker 1: So I think, much as anything, that is the dominant 190 00:10:54,040 --> 00:10:57,160 Speaker 1: argument of why you shouldn't leap into the unknown. I mean, 191 00:10:57,160 --> 00:10:59,800 Speaker 1: I think it's literally as a leap into the unknown, 192 00:11:00,480 --> 00:11:03,720 Speaker 1: in many cases, you'd actually have to pay the paider, 193 00:11:03,960 --> 00:11:06,880 Speaker 1: if you like, pay the prices paid, the cost of 194 00:11:07,000 --> 00:11:09,160 Speaker 1: being in there and being able to unable to impact 195 00:11:09,400 --> 00:11:13,640 Speaker 1: and influence what happens. Generally, want to be inside a 196 00:11:13,760 --> 00:11:17,280 Speaker 1: free trade area, not outside subject to the trade barrier. 197 00:11:17,440 --> 00:11:20,040 Speaker 1: And let's not forget the parts of the UK you 198 00:11:20,080 --> 00:11:22,360 Speaker 1: can actually see France, and a big chunk of the 199 00:11:22,440 --> 00:11:25,400 Speaker 1: UK actually has a land border. With the European Union. 200 00:11:25,440 --> 00:11:28,120 Speaker 1: It's called Northern and Southern Ireland, and we have to 201 00:11:28,160 --> 00:11:31,760 Speaker 1: think what would happen there. So I think it's actually 202 00:11:33,160 --> 00:11:35,960 Speaker 1: the uncertainty. And I think back to Mike's earlier question. 203 00:11:35,960 --> 00:11:38,160 Speaker 1: I was just looking at the market reaction, as I say, 204 00:11:38,160 --> 00:11:40,200 Speaker 1: in the last four days, when it starts to look 205 00:11:40,280 --> 00:11:43,520 Speaker 1: like the remains going to win, and I just think 206 00:11:43,640 --> 00:11:46,679 Speaker 1: that's what markets are thinking. They think, golly okay, this 207 00:11:46,760 --> 00:11:49,360 Speaker 1: is looking better. And I do still think we have 208 00:11:49,520 --> 00:11:52,120 Speaker 1: to think what would happen on Friday morning if a 209 00:11:52,200 --> 00:11:55,840 Speaker 1: Brexit boat comes, which is a surprise, presumably the markets 210 00:11:55,840 --> 00:11:58,040 Speaker 1: are going to tank. And I think that's very like 211 00:11:58,280 --> 00:12:01,760 Speaker 1: that the improvement we see the six days, I've seen 212 00:12:01,760 --> 00:12:05,920 Speaker 1: one instantly reverse on Friday morning. My tank is an 213 00:12:05,960 --> 00:12:13,280 Speaker 1: Ivy League phrase senior year, you know, seminars in macroeconomics. 214 00:12:13,600 --> 00:12:15,679 Speaker 1: We should point out a couple of quick things here. 215 00:12:15,720 --> 00:12:18,160 Speaker 1: The markets of open in the Dow goes more than 216 00:12:18,240 --> 00:12:21,559 Speaker 1: two hundred, almost two hundred and fifty points higher, almost immediately. 217 00:12:22,920 --> 00:12:27,080 Speaker 1: Supreme Court is releasing some decisions there at the end 218 00:12:27,080 --> 00:12:29,240 Speaker 1: of the term, and they have some major decisions to release, 219 00:12:29,320 --> 00:12:33,920 Speaker 1: and they have just released one that allows New York 220 00:12:34,040 --> 00:12:38,120 Speaker 1: and Connecticut's assault weapon bands to remain in place. They 221 00:12:38,120 --> 00:12:41,079 Speaker 1: did not strike down the assault weapon bands that were 222 00:12:41,080 --> 00:12:43,640 Speaker 1: passed by New York and Connecticut in the wake of 223 00:12:43,760 --> 00:12:46,360 Speaker 1: the shooting of the children in Connecticut a couple of 224 00:12:46,440 --> 00:12:50,600 Speaker 1: years ago. And so that is an interesting development. Remember 225 00:12:50,600 --> 00:12:53,240 Speaker 1: this court's divided four to four, but they let the 226 00:12:53,280 --> 00:12:58,640 Speaker 1: assault weapon ban in those states stand. Interesting. Well, I 227 00:12:58,679 --> 00:13:01,280 Speaker 1: think we'll probably do more of that and a bit. 228 00:13:01,360 --> 00:13:05,240 Speaker 1: Let us continue with David Blancheflower. Right now, this is 229 00:13:05,240 --> 00:13:07,240 Speaker 1: all about economic growth. At the end of the day. 230 00:13:07,520 --> 00:13:10,000 Speaker 1: We can all agree that. You know, I think of 231 00:13:10,040 --> 00:13:13,160 Speaker 1: the economist Jeffrey M. L to Geo once said, look three, 232 00:13:14,320 --> 00:13:17,319 Speaker 1: real growth would solve a lot of problems. When's it 233 00:13:17,360 --> 00:13:19,839 Speaker 1: going to happen, Professor, I don't see it down the 234 00:13:20,280 --> 00:13:24,520 Speaker 1: pike for America, the United Kingdom, etcetera. Well I don't. 235 00:13:24,600 --> 00:13:27,280 Speaker 1: I mean, I've probably been one of the people mostly 236 00:13:27,400 --> 00:13:31,280 Speaker 1: saying I don't see growth coming. I see that the 237 00:13:31,440 --> 00:13:34,600 Speaker 1: I the idea that the Central Bank should be raising rates, 238 00:13:34,640 --> 00:13:36,520 Speaker 1: and I pulled the scorn on that for a very 239 00:13:36,600 --> 00:13:39,520 Speaker 1: long time. Um think in the US we've seen these 240 00:13:39,640 --> 00:13:43,480 Speaker 1: very bad job numbers, we've seen slowing in the UK 241 00:13:43,640 --> 00:13:46,560 Speaker 1: and many respects. Particularly in the last twelve months, we've 242 00:13:46,559 --> 00:13:49,640 Speaker 1: seen a big decline in business and consumer confidence. I 243 00:13:49,760 --> 00:13:53,800 Speaker 1: think it looks like many of these economies are slowing again. Um. 244 00:13:54,000 --> 00:13:56,839 Speaker 1: We saw some decent employment numbers in the UK this week, 245 00:13:56,880 --> 00:13:59,160 Speaker 1: but when you dig deeper, what you find is it's 246 00:13:59,160 --> 00:14:03,160 Speaker 1: all part time. Can actually total hours has fallen. So 247 00:14:03,280 --> 00:14:06,040 Speaker 1: I don't think that these economies are in any way 248 00:14:06,160 --> 00:14:08,800 Speaker 1: resilient to a shock. To think about the shock we've 249 00:14:08,880 --> 00:14:11,760 Speaker 1: just been talking about. We're not in a position to 250 00:14:11,880 --> 00:14:15,600 Speaker 1: cut rates. It doesn't look like fiscal authorities are going 251 00:14:15,679 --> 00:14:18,040 Speaker 1: to leap in and do lots and lots of stimulus. 252 00:14:18,080 --> 00:14:20,680 Speaker 1: So supposing we have a shock which looked like what 253 00:14:20,840 --> 00:14:23,000 Speaker 1: happened in two thousand and eight or something like it, 254 00:14:23,440 --> 00:14:25,880 Speaker 1: how prepared are these authorities And the answer is they're not. 255 00:14:26,240 --> 00:14:28,720 Speaker 1: Central banks can't cut rates in the way that they did, 256 00:14:29,120 --> 00:14:31,680 Speaker 1: So resiliency for shocks isn't there. And I just looked 257 00:14:31,720 --> 00:14:34,760 Speaker 1: at the numbers for the UK. UK GDP per capital 258 00:14:34,880 --> 00:14:37,640 Speaker 1: today is one percent above what it was in two 259 00:14:37,720 --> 00:14:41,360 Speaker 1: thousand and eight. So people are hurting, um, and that's 260 00:14:41,360 --> 00:14:43,440 Speaker 1: a lot of the reason people are You know, people 261 00:14:43,680 --> 00:14:47,160 Speaker 1: are unhappy about Remain and go on. But the economies 262 00:14:47,200 --> 00:14:50,320 Speaker 1: are not resilient. We are in in a sense it's 263 00:14:50,320 --> 00:14:53,520 Speaker 1: an unfortunate timing because I think another shock is on 264 00:14:53,600 --> 00:14:56,800 Speaker 1: its way. What would bring that shock on? What do 265 00:14:56,840 --> 00:14:59,320 Speaker 1: you mean a shock? That elation? I think the business 266 00:14:59,360 --> 00:15:01,760 Speaker 1: cycle turn, Mike, I means we know very well that 267 00:15:01,880 --> 00:15:05,480 Speaker 1: there are that the business cycle comes um and this 268 00:15:05,680 --> 00:15:09,200 Speaker 1: potential shock is coming at a time, probably in the UK, 269 00:15:09,560 --> 00:15:12,520 Speaker 1: when the economy is slowing anyway. So I just think 270 00:15:12,600 --> 00:15:15,760 Speaker 1: that's that that's a particular problem if and if there 271 00:15:15,840 --> 00:15:17,880 Speaker 1: is a Brexit vote, I think it's going to have 272 00:15:17,920 --> 00:15:20,320 Speaker 1: a major shock on the UK, major effect on Europe 273 00:15:20,320 --> 00:15:24,880 Speaker 1: and probably on the global economy. The question um that 274 00:15:25,280 --> 00:15:28,080 Speaker 1: one hairs is though, what brings us to the end 275 00:15:28,160 --> 00:15:32,720 Speaker 1: of the business cycle. The traditional argument is that somebody 276 00:15:32,760 --> 00:15:36,760 Speaker 1: like a central bank brings you there. Well, I don't know. 277 00:15:36,920 --> 00:15:38,920 Speaker 1: I mean, I think I've been on your program many 278 00:15:39,000 --> 00:15:42,080 Speaker 1: times saying I look back at the previous cycles and 279 00:15:42,200 --> 00:15:45,360 Speaker 1: tightening cycles as here all you're Often times if you here, 280 00:15:45,440 --> 00:15:48,720 Speaker 1: guests say in the previous cycle, and Blancheman normally says, well, 281 00:15:48,760 --> 00:15:51,080 Speaker 1: we haven't had a previous cycle like this, We've never 282 00:15:51,160 --> 00:15:53,120 Speaker 1: been at the zero lower abound before. We've not been 283 00:15:53,120 --> 00:15:56,160 Speaker 1: in a situation where many central banks around the world 284 00:15:56,200 --> 00:15:58,920 Speaker 1: are in negative rates. So I just think this is 285 00:15:59,000 --> 00:16:01,440 Speaker 1: a new one. This is a one where the global 286 00:16:02,000 --> 00:16:04,640 Speaker 1: such global growth as we have, is being propped up 287 00:16:04,720 --> 00:16:08,600 Speaker 1: by monetary steamlus particularly, but there's very little room to 288 00:16:08,760 --> 00:16:12,240 Speaker 1: respond to a really potentially bad shock. It's just not 289 00:16:12,400 --> 00:16:14,640 Speaker 1: shocked resilience in the way that it was in the past. 290 00:16:16,520 --> 00:16:19,520 Speaker 1: When you look at the debates that we are having 291 00:16:19,720 --> 00:16:24,160 Speaker 1: very quickly, your professor, i'm the coming days. What will 292 00:16:24,280 --> 00:16:28,560 Speaker 1: you listen for from people like you who are pro Brexit? 293 00:16:29,120 --> 00:16:32,960 Speaker 1: To me, they've been quiet recently. I'm not pro Brexit, 294 00:16:33,120 --> 00:16:35,680 Speaker 1: but no, no, I want to I mean I really 295 00:16:35,760 --> 00:16:39,080 Speaker 1: want to hear some serious analysis. I mean I think, um, 296 00:16:39,160 --> 00:16:42,440 Speaker 1: they have not. There has not been a much serious analysis. 297 00:16:42,680 --> 00:16:44,360 Speaker 1: I mean. The other thing to that I want to 298 00:16:44,440 --> 00:16:46,680 Speaker 1: hear is how you're going to deal with the political 299 00:16:46,760 --> 00:16:49,560 Speaker 1: crisis that will inevitably follow. I mean, if there's a 300 00:16:49,600 --> 00:16:54,000 Speaker 1: Brexit vote on Thursday night, presuming the government falls on Friday, 301 00:16:54,400 --> 00:16:56,800 Speaker 1: so there's been to be political crisis, we have to 302 00:16:56,840 --> 00:16:58,880 Speaker 1: see a new government. We're going to see a new 303 00:16:58,920 --> 00:17:02,000 Speaker 1: Prime minister Um, how do you deal with an economic 304 00:17:02,120 --> 00:17:09,320 Speaker 1: policy when the policymakers themselves are in disarrection?
