WEBVTT - Former IMF Member Gita Gopinath Talks Oil Prices

0:00:02.520 --> 0:00:09.440
<v Speaker 1>Bloomberg Audio Studios, podcasts, radio news. Gaty Gopinath was an

0:00:09.480 --> 0:00:12.960
<v Speaker 1>academic at Harvard. She was known within the racket, we

0:00:13.039 --> 0:00:17.040
<v Speaker 1>all knew that, but found immense acclaim As the former

0:00:17.120 --> 0:00:22.160
<v Speaker 1>deputy Managing Director of the International Monetary Fund, she brought

0:00:22.200 --> 0:00:26.320
<v Speaker 1>an academic gravitas to it that was just absolutely wonderful.

0:00:26.600 --> 0:00:29.520
<v Speaker 1>As they do, they wanted her to stay at IMF.

0:00:29.600 --> 0:00:33.519
<v Speaker 1>She had to return to Harvard. Professor Gopinath joins us

0:00:33.880 --> 0:00:37.960
<v Speaker 1>in this time of international turmoil, geta thank you so

0:00:38.080 --> 0:00:39.240
<v Speaker 1>much for joining this morning.

0:00:39.440 --> 0:00:40.279
<v Speaker 2>What was it like.

0:00:40.280 --> 0:00:43.800
<v Speaker 1>Your first day back at Harvard? You go from Gorgieva

0:00:44.200 --> 0:00:46.640
<v Speaker 1>in four hundred PhDs telling you what to do with

0:00:46.720 --> 0:00:49.040
<v Speaker 1>the IMF? What was it like in front of the

0:00:49.159 --> 0:00:52.960
<v Speaker 1>kids at Harvard the first day? Hi?

0:00:53.120 --> 0:00:56.040
<v Speaker 2>Tom, always I was miss speaking to you, So it's

0:00:56.080 --> 0:00:58.240
<v Speaker 2>great to kick off with you. Know this kind of

0:00:58.240 --> 0:01:00.640
<v Speaker 2>a question that I don't usually get from anybody else.

0:01:01.560 --> 0:01:03.760
<v Speaker 1>Well, what was it like? I mean, did you Stanley

0:01:03.800 --> 0:01:08.800
<v Speaker 1>Fisher says that that Samuelson used to throw chalk? What

0:01:08.880 --> 0:01:11.600
<v Speaker 1>did you do with the dumb students after the fancy

0:01:11.640 --> 0:01:12.759
<v Speaker 1>people at the IMF?

0:01:14.720 --> 0:01:18.240
<v Speaker 2>It's actually been going great. I am enjoying very much

0:01:18.440 --> 0:01:21.520
<v Speaker 2>being back at Harvard. And it also helps to be

0:01:21.640 --> 0:01:25.160
<v Speaker 2>able to be able to speak a little more freely

0:01:25.200 --> 0:01:27.400
<v Speaker 2>than one does when when you're when you're at the IMF.

0:01:27.480 --> 0:01:31.520
<v Speaker 2>So I'm enjoying this moment a lot. And also I

0:01:31.560 --> 0:01:35.000
<v Speaker 2>love working with the students and getting back into research

0:01:35.200 --> 0:01:36.760
<v Speaker 2>and something I did miss.

0:01:36.800 --> 0:01:39.480
<v Speaker 1>Well, that's where I wanted to go. The research of

0:01:39.520 --> 0:01:43.080
<v Speaker 1>say Rudy Dornbush back ages and ages or can ro

0:01:43.160 --> 0:01:46.200
<v Speaker 1>go Off and others, is there is a cycle to

0:01:46.400 --> 0:01:52.960
<v Speaker 1>financial upset, a cycle to financial contagion with the private

0:01:53.040 --> 0:01:57.560
<v Speaker 1>credit percolation, and again a war is tangible. Are we

0:01:57.640 --> 0:02:01.720
<v Speaker 1>at another inflection point where we see crisis in finance?

0:02:03.240 --> 0:02:06.880
<v Speaker 2>The troubles in a with private credit were actually there

0:02:06.920 --> 0:02:12.639
<v Speaker 2>even without the right current war in Iran, we were

0:02:12.680 --> 0:02:17.120
<v Speaker 2>seeing signs of distress in terms of loan defaults. I mean,

0:02:17.120 --> 0:02:20.960
<v Speaker 2>this has always been an incredibly opaque sector. And when

0:02:21.080 --> 0:02:24.359
<v Speaker 2>we're worried about where we could see another crisis coming

0:02:24.400 --> 0:02:27.240
<v Speaker 2>around the corner, it was about this huge growth and

0:02:27.280 --> 0:02:31.040
<v Speaker 2>non bank financial institutions that now own over fifty percent

0:02:31.120 --> 0:02:34.000
<v Speaker 2>of the world's assets, and especially in a private credit,

0:02:34.040 --> 0:02:38.519
<v Speaker 2>private equity hedge funds which are highly leveraged and valuations

0:02:38.639 --> 0:02:43.840
<v Speaker 2>that are stretched. So it is a combination that really

0:02:44.360 --> 0:02:47.160
<v Speaker 2>can get you know, things can get pretty tenuous if

0:02:47.639 --> 0:02:50.080
<v Speaker 2>we have major shocks of the kind we're looking at

0:02:50.160 --> 0:02:52.400
<v Speaker 2>right now. And as I said, we've just had the

0:02:52.560 --> 0:02:57.640
<v Speaker 2>biggest oil shock in history. And you know, thankfully our

0:02:57.680 --> 0:03:00.320
<v Speaker 2>economies are not as dependent on oil as was in

0:03:00.360 --> 0:03:04.200
<v Speaker 2>the nineteen seventies, and therefore we could weather more of

0:03:04.240 --> 0:03:06.800
<v Speaker 2>it now than we did back then. But this is

0:03:06.880 --> 0:03:09.160
<v Speaker 2>a huge, major event to the global economy.

0:03:09.680 --> 0:03:12.240
<v Speaker 3>I want to bounce off what you were just saying

0:03:12.280 --> 0:03:14.919
<v Speaker 3>about the war and its effect on the global economy,

0:03:14.960 --> 0:03:17.760
<v Speaker 3>because even a long war, would that have a limited

0:03:17.840 --> 0:03:21.919
<v Speaker 3>consequence for global GDP or will there be longer term

0:03:22.040 --> 0:03:22.720
<v Speaker 3>damage done?

0:03:24.919 --> 0:03:29.600
<v Speaker 2>A lot depends upon how long oil prices stay high. Right,

0:03:30.280 --> 0:03:33.000
<v Speaker 2>had come down to oround eighty five yesterday and now

0:03:33.120 --> 0:03:35.000
<v Speaker 2>then it shot back up to one hundred and now

0:03:35.160 --> 0:03:38.600
<v Speaker 2>covering around ninety six. So you know, coming into twenty

0:03:38.640 --> 0:03:41.760
<v Speaker 2>twenty six, the assumption was that twenty twenty six would

0:03:41.760 --> 0:03:45.000
<v Speaker 2>be a year when oil prices would average sixty five

0:03:45.040 --> 0:03:48.280
<v Speaker 2>dollars a barrel. Right, I think in the best case scenario,

0:03:48.360 --> 0:03:51.320
<v Speaker 2>we're looking at it averaging now seventy five dollars a barrel,

0:03:51.600 --> 0:03:54.520
<v Speaker 2>which just from the oil channel shaves off about zero

0:03:54.520 --> 0:03:57.240
<v Speaker 2>point one two point two percentage point of global growth.

0:03:57.720 --> 0:04:00.720
<v Speaker 2>But this continues, and I don't think this will requires

0:04:00.720 --> 0:04:03.880
<v Speaker 2>We're not talking necessarily that everything gets sorted out in

0:04:03.920 --> 0:04:06.800
<v Speaker 2>a week. But if this continues well past a few weeks,

0:04:07.440 --> 0:04:10.520
<v Speaker 2>and we're looking at now average for the year hitting

0:04:10.560 --> 0:04:14.000
<v Speaker 2>eighty five, now that's beginning to shave off like zero

0:04:14.000 --> 0:04:17.200
<v Speaker 2>point three percentage point to global growth point four percentage point,

0:04:17.640 --> 0:04:21.839
<v Speaker 2>and global inflation starts going up by fifty basis point

0:04:21.920 --> 0:04:27.159
<v Speaker 2>sixty basis points. So this needs a solution relatively soon.

0:04:27.600 --> 0:04:30.400
<v Speaker 2>Otherwise we're all looking at countries around the world dealing

0:04:30.440 --> 0:04:33.000
<v Speaker 2>with many countries dealing with statuflationary shocks.

0:04:33.360 --> 0:04:36.919
<v Speaker 3>What about emerging economies, they would be vulnerable here to

0:04:37.040 --> 0:04:39.440
<v Speaker 3>persistent high energy prices, right.

0:04:41.640 --> 0:04:45.839
<v Speaker 2>Emerging markets have especially the ones of course that are importers.

0:04:45.920 --> 0:04:49.400
<v Speaker 2>I mean other countries who are exporters benefit from the

0:04:49.480 --> 0:04:52.680
<v Speaker 2>higher oil prices. But the ones that are importers, and

0:04:52.720 --> 0:04:57.159
<v Speaker 2>these include you know, India, many of the East Asian economies.

0:04:57.200 --> 0:05:00.320
<v Speaker 2>Of course, China also is a big importer of energy.

0:05:00.320 --> 0:05:02.520
<v Speaker 2>Do they have big strategic reserves, so they're kind of

0:05:02.560 --> 0:05:06.359
<v Speaker 2>a little more insulated. But yes, so they tend to

0:05:06.360 --> 0:05:10.600
<v Speaker 2>be importers. They also are much more energy dependent. Their

0:05:10.720 --> 0:05:14.400
<v Speaker 2>economic output is much more energy dependent than the rich

0:05:14.560 --> 0:05:17.200
<v Speaker 2>nations of the world are. And we've also seen the

0:05:17.240 --> 0:05:20.640
<v Speaker 2>dollar appreciate. So it's a combination of oil prices going

0:05:20.680 --> 0:05:24.160
<v Speaker 2>up and the dollar appreciating, and that's leading to really scarcity.

0:05:24.240 --> 0:05:27.840
<v Speaker 2>I mean, we seen rationing in many emerging countries around

0:05:27.839 --> 0:05:29.480
<v Speaker 2>the world. It's not that you can simply pass through

0:05:29.560 --> 0:05:30.720
<v Speaker 2>very high point prices.

0:05:30.760 --> 0:05:34.120
<v Speaker 1>An exceptional day for Bloomberg Surveillance. Edward Morse was with

0:05:34.279 --> 0:05:37.880
<v Speaker 1>us earlier. Charles Canter of Newburger Berman as well. In

0:05:38.040 --> 0:05:40.760
<v Speaker 1>our We're Honored with Gutik Openhath, where there's the former

0:05:40.839 --> 0:05:45.919
<v Speaker 1>International Monetary Fund Deputy Managing Director holding court at Harvard

0:05:46.000 --> 0:05:51.440
<v Speaker 1>Economics after her sojourn of public service. Gita, I look

0:05:51.480 --> 0:05:54.800
<v Speaker 1>at where we are, and my answer is currency is

0:05:54.839 --> 0:05:59.160
<v Speaker 1>the litmus paper of the system. Are the traditional dynamics

0:05:59.200 --> 0:06:02.760
<v Speaker 1>of foreign ext change in play now or is there

0:06:02.839 --> 0:06:04.919
<v Speaker 1>a new regime we have to get used to.

0:06:06.040 --> 0:06:09.480
<v Speaker 2>I think this episode has told us that the traditional

0:06:09.680 --> 0:06:14.400
<v Speaker 2>regime sustains. There have been a lot of questions about

0:06:14.440 --> 0:06:18.240
<v Speaker 2>the dollars dominance and whether we've seen some sort of

0:06:18.240 --> 0:06:21.839
<v Speaker 2>financial decision making shifts sufficiently in the world that things

0:06:21.880 --> 0:06:24.520
<v Speaker 2>are going to behave differently. But what we saw right

0:06:24.960 --> 0:06:26.760
<v Speaker 2>at the onset of the war, whether there was a

0:06:26.880 --> 0:06:29.600
<v Speaker 2>Hue spike and uncertainty, was it the dollar strength and

0:06:29.720 --> 0:06:32.040
<v Speaker 2>relates to pretty much all other currencies in the world.

0:06:32.360 --> 0:06:35.880
<v Speaker 2>Capital flows to emerging markets didn't. You didn't see a

0:06:35.880 --> 0:06:39.600
<v Speaker 2>whole scale reversal, but you saw lesser flows going into

0:06:39.680 --> 0:06:43.720
<v Speaker 2>emerging markets and their currency is depreciated. The US stock

0:06:43.800 --> 0:06:47.160
<v Speaker 2>market held it better than other countries also because I

0:06:47.200 --> 0:06:51.159
<v Speaker 2>mean frankly, US being a bigger net energy exporter makes

0:06:51.160 --> 0:06:53.440
<v Speaker 2>it less of a slight creationy shop for the US

0:06:53.600 --> 0:06:55.120
<v Speaker 2>than for many other countries.

0:06:54.720 --> 0:06:58.320
<v Speaker 1>In the world. Doctor Copinett, I think of my great

0:06:58.360 --> 0:07:02.000
<v Speaker 1>mentor at LC Meg to say, who we lost recently,

0:07:02.480 --> 0:07:05.920
<v Speaker 1>the work of Ragarajan at Chicago and your work as well.

0:07:06.440 --> 0:07:10.760
<v Speaker 1>And India is a balance and full crome point between

0:07:10.880 --> 0:07:14.520
<v Speaker 1>all these global tensions. Is there a new India now

0:07:15.000 --> 0:07:18.280
<v Speaker 1>or is it a traditional relationship in India with China,

0:07:18.680 --> 0:07:20.440
<v Speaker 1>with Russia and with America.

0:07:22.000 --> 0:07:24.680
<v Speaker 2>I think the word is complicated. It's really complicated at

0:07:24.680 --> 0:07:27.920
<v Speaker 2>this point in time. What good news is that India's

0:07:28.000 --> 0:07:33.440
<v Speaker 2>economy is growing strongly from internal demand and from internal

0:07:33.720 --> 0:07:36.520
<v Speaker 2>sources or that's pushing growth, you know, the build out

0:07:36.560 --> 0:07:41.680
<v Speaker 2>on infrastructure, the digital payment system. There is good growth

0:07:41.720 --> 0:07:45.640
<v Speaker 2>momentum coming from within India. What they have had to do,

0:07:45.760 --> 0:07:48.120
<v Speaker 2>which I think is actually positive over the last year,

0:07:48.480 --> 0:07:50.720
<v Speaker 2>is to go out and make more trade deals with

0:07:50.800 --> 0:07:53.840
<v Speaker 2>other countries. They just did that with the European Union,

0:07:53.920 --> 0:07:56.600
<v Speaker 2>but they also did that previously with the UK. I

0:07:56.600 --> 0:07:58.280
<v Speaker 2>think that's a good thing. I think it helps for

0:07:58.760 --> 0:08:01.600
<v Speaker 2>India to bring its tap a freight down and they're

0:08:01.640 --> 0:08:03.880
<v Speaker 2>going to have to keep this up. It's a complicated world.

0:08:03.960 --> 0:08:08.400
<v Speaker 2>It's people are unsure about who their friends are and

0:08:08.480 --> 0:08:08.960
<v Speaker 2>for how.

0:08:08.840 --> 0:08:12.040
<v Speaker 1>Long right now. Second headline coming out of Iran. This

0:08:12.160 --> 0:08:15.560
<v Speaker 1>is from some form of Iran TV. This is published

0:08:15.600 --> 0:08:18.960
<v Speaker 1>on the Bloomberg It's not speculation quote. Iran says it

0:08:19.000 --> 0:08:22.640
<v Speaker 1>began new wave of missile launches on Israel. Buttre's up

0:08:22.680 --> 0:08:25.200
<v Speaker 1>against the headline of about twenty years ago. Brent crude

0:08:25.280 --> 0:08:29.040
<v Speaker 1>ninety eight dollars thirty two cents. Alexis Christopherus with Gidy

0:08:29.080 --> 0:08:30.320
<v Speaker 1>Gopinett of Harvard.

0:08:30.920 --> 0:08:34.360
<v Speaker 3>So, you know, what about the beneficiaries or the winners.

0:08:34.400 --> 0:08:36.040
<v Speaker 3>And I guess I hate to use the word winners

0:08:36.040 --> 0:08:37.920
<v Speaker 3>in war because I don't think there're any winners in war.

0:08:37.960 --> 0:08:41.720
<v Speaker 3>But when you're talking about large net energy exporters outside

0:08:41.800 --> 0:08:45.760
<v Speaker 3>the Gulf, are they going to be benefiting? And I'm

0:08:45.760 --> 0:08:50.760
<v Speaker 3>thinking Norway, you know, Russia, of course, Canada, Yes.

0:08:50.679 --> 0:08:55.840
<v Speaker 2>Certainly, these absolutely, these countries benefit from oil being at

0:08:55.880 --> 0:08:59.520
<v Speaker 2>one hundred dollars a barrel. That's a huge windfall that

0:08:59.760 --> 0:09:01.800
<v Speaker 2>you know, it's very helpful. And I would say for

0:09:01.920 --> 0:09:05.040
<v Speaker 2>Russia right now, this is great because they could really

0:09:05.160 --> 0:09:08.720
<v Speaker 2>use the money that they're getting from their oil sales.

0:09:08.760 --> 0:09:10.840
<v Speaker 2>When oil was at sixty five dollars a barrel, it

0:09:10.880 --> 0:09:12.920
<v Speaker 2>was getting really hard for their economy and you could

0:09:12.920 --> 0:09:15.880
<v Speaker 2>see the strains. One hundred dollars a barrel helps them.

0:09:16.080 --> 0:09:16.200
<v Speaker 1>Now.

0:09:16.240 --> 0:09:19.880
<v Speaker 2>That said, if this now morphs into a more broader

0:09:20.559 --> 0:09:27.760
<v Speaker 2>financial crisis because of growth dropping everywhere, inflation going up,

0:09:28.200 --> 0:09:30.800
<v Speaker 2>we're already it's kind of clear we're moving into a

0:09:30.880 --> 0:09:34.920
<v Speaker 2>much more tighter monetary policies stance everywhere in the world

0:09:34.960 --> 0:09:37.040
<v Speaker 2>relative to what it would have been in the absence

0:09:37.440 --> 0:09:41.920
<v Speaker 2>of this massive oil price shock. You know that combination

0:09:42.240 --> 0:09:44.679
<v Speaker 2>is never good for the world as a whole, for

0:09:44.679 --> 0:09:46.280
<v Speaker 2>pretty much all countries.

0:09:46.640 --> 0:09:47.680
<v Speaker 1>Can I do an audible?

0:09:47.840 --> 0:09:48.280
<v Speaker 2>Please do?

0:09:48.480 --> 0:09:52.280
<v Speaker 1>I'm going to do a terrible time audible with geta Gopinath.

0:09:52.720 --> 0:09:55.240
<v Speaker 1>So we're on stage in Marrakesh and there's like planes

0:09:55.280 --> 0:09:57.960
<v Speaker 1>flying over. It's a tent. There's like eight hundred one

0:09:57.960 --> 0:10:01.320
<v Speaker 1>thousand people in there. You know, Geita is there. I

0:10:01.320 --> 0:10:05.080
<v Speaker 1>think I can't remember the details. I think substituting for uh,

0:10:05.280 --> 0:10:07.240
<v Speaker 1>the managing director because she had to go see the

0:10:07.320 --> 0:10:09.880
<v Speaker 1>King of Morocco or whatever. In Christine Laguard's there and

0:10:09.920 --> 0:10:12.560
<v Speaker 1>a bunch of other worthies And I never got this

0:10:12.679 --> 0:10:16.079
<v Speaker 1>question into Geita gopinazh. So we're going to do it

0:10:16.200 --> 0:10:19.280
<v Speaker 1>right now. Get to gopinaz You came out of Princeton

0:10:19.360 --> 0:10:22.120
<v Speaker 1>Holding Court at Harvard, Ken, Rogoff, and BERNANKI did part

0:10:22.120 --> 0:10:26.360
<v Speaker 1>of your PhD. I want you to explain the impact

0:10:26.920 --> 0:10:31.040
<v Speaker 1>of the Nobel Laureate Claudia Golden on economics. You and

0:10:31.120 --> 0:10:33.959
<v Speaker 1>I never got to talk about this. We're going to

0:10:34.040 --> 0:10:38.160
<v Speaker 1>do it this morning. Tell me what Professor Golden did

0:10:38.559 --> 0:10:42.719
<v Speaker 1>in labor economics, in our behavior in our society that

0:10:42.880 --> 0:10:43.720
<v Speaker 1>was so important.

0:10:46.040 --> 0:10:50.439
<v Speaker 2>Claudia, who won the Nobel Prize for her work recently

0:10:50.480 --> 0:10:55.800
<v Speaker 2>and was long over you, basically total brought us, I'm sorry,

0:10:56.040 --> 0:11:00.000
<v Speaker 2>brought us gender economics, which is to basically point out

0:11:00.120 --> 0:11:07.080
<v Speaker 2>out that there are salient differences between how women and

0:11:07.240 --> 0:11:11.440
<v Speaker 2>men participate in the labor force, what they get paid,

0:11:11.800 --> 0:11:16.720
<v Speaker 2>why they get paid differently, the importance of family and

0:11:16.840 --> 0:11:21.800
<v Speaker 2>child rearing, which has an impact on women, and it's

0:11:21.920 --> 0:11:25.560
<v Speaker 2>hugely important because for multiple reasons, besides the fact that

0:11:25.600 --> 0:11:28.160
<v Speaker 2>we all want to live in a society where you

0:11:28.200 --> 0:11:32.439
<v Speaker 2>get rewarded for your skills and talents at a fair level,

0:11:33.320 --> 0:11:36.880
<v Speaker 2>we're in a situation where worldwide fertility rates have come

0:11:36.920 --> 0:11:42.839
<v Speaker 2>down and you cannot fix that problem without recognizing that

0:11:43.040 --> 0:11:47.560
<v Speaker 2>it is tied to how women engage with the labor

0:11:47.600 --> 0:11:50.000
<v Speaker 2>force and what it takes. And if by having a

0:11:50.080 --> 0:11:54.280
<v Speaker 2>child you are restricted and that impedes you because you

0:11:54.320 --> 0:11:57.120
<v Speaker 2>get very little support from your partner to be able

0:11:57.120 --> 0:12:01.560
<v Speaker 2>to engage in work. You know, the incentives to do

0:12:01.600 --> 0:12:06.600
<v Speaker 2>that get damp, and so you know it's her contributions

0:12:06.679 --> 0:12:08.760
<v Speaker 2>have been tremendous and Tom, I think we have to

0:12:08.840 --> 0:12:11.120
<v Speaker 2>keep in mind that for a long time. It was

0:12:11.160 --> 0:12:14.560
<v Speaker 2>not cool to be working on you know, gender issues.

0:12:14.559 --> 0:12:16.959
<v Speaker 2>When I say a long time is when Claudia was

0:12:17.040 --> 0:12:20.520
<v Speaker 2>much younger. At that time, as an economist, you wanted

0:12:20.559 --> 0:12:23.960
<v Speaker 2>to be working on you know, monetary policy, macro policy,

0:12:24.080 --> 0:12:27.679
<v Speaker 2>those were the big topics to focus on. So for

0:12:27.760 --> 0:12:30.160
<v Speaker 2>Claudia to go against the wind and say no, I'm

0:12:30.160 --> 0:12:33.760
<v Speaker 2>actually going to work about gender and women in the workplace, right,

0:12:34.840 --> 0:12:37.800
<v Speaker 2>that was a huge you know, stepping out of line

0:12:37.920 --> 0:12:39.400
<v Speaker 2>and courders to help for that.

0:12:39.320 --> 0:12:41.199
<v Speaker 1>One quick question, get to go. But as we got

0:12:41.240 --> 0:12:42.800
<v Speaker 1>to go with the rant in the news. But I

0:12:42.880 --> 0:12:45.680
<v Speaker 1>have to ask, are you letting your students use AI?

0:12:46.000 --> 0:12:49.520
<v Speaker 1>Is AI constructives tool in the classroom?

0:12:51.040 --> 0:12:53.959
<v Speaker 2>Yes? Right now I'm teaching a class to pH d

0:12:54.120 --> 0:12:57.880
<v Speaker 2>students and I think that they should absolutely use AI

0:12:58.080 --> 0:13:00.480
<v Speaker 2>in a particular way. But at the same time, I

0:13:00.520 --> 0:13:03.559
<v Speaker 2>want to make sure that they're also developing their own

0:13:03.559 --> 0:13:05.679
<v Speaker 2>cognitive skills. I think the risk is that we're going

0:13:05.720 --> 0:13:09.800
<v Speaker 2>to outsource everything to a smarter friend and in the

0:13:09.880 --> 0:13:11.880
<v Speaker 2>end don't learn anything. So we have to strike the

0:13:11.920 --> 0:13:13.320
<v Speaker 2>balance right one.

0:13:13.280 --> 0:13:15.679
<v Speaker 1>Hundred percent agree. Thank you so much for that. Professor
