The Intelligence: The next stage of the tech wars
The battles for supremacy in chipmaking and green technology industries are raging on. Re-electing Donald Trump will likely make America’s approach even more anti-China, and a move towards autarky comes with costs. How the landmarked Seaport Tower has pitted preservationists against developers (10:18). And a tribute to the zoologist who really, really loved giraffes (18:18).

Checks and Balance: Bill comes due
America's national debt now exceeds $34 trillion. The budget deficit–inflated by having to pay interest on all that debt–has averaged 9% of GDP over the past five years. Does that spending threaten America’s economy? And why do so few politicians seem to care?
Charlotte Howard hosts with Adam O’Neal and Idrees Kahloon. Doug Elmendorf, the Dean of the Harvard Kennedy School, and The Economist’s Simon Rabinovitch also contribute.

The Intelligence: Singapore’s “4G” era
Lawrence Wong will only be the city-state’s fourth leader since its independence. Our foreign editor asks him how he hopes to balance diplomatic relationships with America and China, maintain economic success, and strengthen the country’s democracy.

Money Talks: Can the Singapore miracle continue?
Singapore is about to get a new prime minister: Lawrence Wong. Only three people have previously held the job since the country gained independence from Malaysia almost 60 years ago—and they have overseen what is nothing short of an economic miracle. The city-state surfed the wave of globalisation and became wealthy in the process. But the tide may be turning on a more open world—and open markets. Can Mr Wong maintain the country’s success?
Hosts: Mike Bird, Alice Fulwood and Tom Lee-Devlin. Guests: The Economist’s Patrick Foulis and Lawrence Wong.

The Intelligence: Supercharging India’s economy
Narendra Modi’s reputation for prosperity is likely to propel him to a third term. But for India’s economic successes to last, the country needs a set of new reforms. Despite a host of sanctions from the West, Russia still has a booming arms industry. Where are all the weapons coming from (09:50)? And, the perils of trying to work on a plane (13:54).

Babbage: Why disinformation is more dangerous than ever
Disinformation—falsehoods that are intended to deceive—is on the rise. AI is making it easier to create deceptive content, while social media enables it to spread faster than ever before. With half the world’s population heading to polls in 2024, this presents a growing threat to democracy. There is a glimmer of hope, though. Scientists are starting to understand the technology and tactics behind disinformation campaigns, opening up new possibilities to fight them. Can countries and companies come together to fend off fake media?
Host: Alok Jha, The Economist’s science and technology editor. Contributors: Tom Standage, The Economist’s deputy editor; Hollie Berman, a news editor at The Economist; Ainslie Johnstone, our data and science correspondent.

Thanks!
I listen to and enjoy everyone of your podcasts. They are a great complement to my reading of the magazine. I had no faith in The Secret History if the Future but have found it fascinating. Please do another series after the last program of this one!
Economist radio equals oral excellence
Have been an admirar of the Economist and recently added Economist Radio.
It has very well educated, informed, and clear commentators help me understand the news, plus the vastly tematic .
Eternally grateful.

extraordinario
La venerable revista The Economist es la más influyente en el planeta. Los podcast cubren verdaderamente todos los tópicos relevantes del mundo. Además, se agradece escuchar el acento inglés inglés y su particular humor.
El secreto de estas adorables instituciones que resisten el paso del tiempo, parece ser la estabilidad, las responsabilidades difusas y los acuerdos tácitos. Algo muy cierto también para el Times Literary Supplement, otro tesoro del Reino Unido.
