    EP 65: What Does Shareholder Wealth Creation Tell Investors? (with Sandy Nairn & Michael O'Connell)

    Many of our listeners are interested in what financial history can tell us about the returns of financial assets – and particularly of equities. We are therefore delighted as Sandy Nairn and Michael O’Connell join Russell Napier to discuss their new paper for the University of Strathclyde – ‘What Does Shareholder Wealth Creation Tell Investors?’. Michael is an Accountancy and Finance Researcher at the University of Strathclyde. Sandy is Executive Director of Global Opportunities Trust plc, and was previously Chairman of Templeton Global Equity Group and Chief Investment Officer of Scottish Widows Investment Partnership. You can download the full report here: www.libraryofmistakes.com/blog/what-does-shareholder-wealth-creation-tell-investors (This episode was recorded around an office table during the Edinburgh Festival, and excitable pedestrians in the street outside joined in the fun by providing occasional background noises.)

    EP 64: The Unanchored Central Banker (with Manoj Pradhan and Charles Goodhart)

    Manoj and Charles join Russell Napier to discuss their view that "real interest rates will rise because increasingly ageing societies will create a persistent and still-underappreciated deterioration in the government’s fiscal position". Can AI offset these demographic headwinds? The pair aren't convinced – suggesting that the glory days of central banks may be behind us. Lauded by Russell for once again "annoying the right people in the right places", he describes the book as "a quick read that makes you think for a long time". www.libraryofmistakes.com

    EP 63: Mistakes On Maps (with Tom Paper) Shelf Life #17

    As the Library of Mistakes prepares to host its first Edinburgh Fringe performance, we speak to the show's creator, Tom Paper. Mistakes On Maps is a witty, visually immersive journey through 20 historical maps, each featuring a fascinating flaw. Encounter sea monsters in the 1539 Carta Marina, the phantom continent of Terra Australis, California drawn as an island, the Open Polar Sea, canals on Mars, and the Mountains of Kong. Were these errors accidents, ambition, propaganda or fear of empty space? Along the way, see how trade, empire, faith and imagination bent geography. Through projected maps, story and music, this show reveals how cartographers got it wrong, and what their errors reveal about us. This episode was presented by Fraser Allen & Leila Johnston Mistakes On Maps runs every day at the Library of Mistakes in Edinburgh from 7-30 August 2026 inclusive (except 17, 18, 24 and 25 August).

    EP 62: Kaboom! Does history show that market valuations for AI are nuts?

    LIVE RECORDING Welcome to a special episode of the podcast recorded live at the Library of Mistakes and featuring a debate between two distinguished former investment practitioners – Andrew Milligan and Sandy Nairn. The question they debate is: 'Does history shows that current market valuations for AI are nuts?' Andrew, with his experience as a global strategist over many years, believes their value might be overextended, while Sandy, with his keen knowledge of technology, believes AI could herald a seismic change that might justify some of the excitement. Listen in and join in the fun, ably hosted by Robbie Mochrie and compered by David Clarke, with plenty of lively contributions from the floor. You can also watch this debate on our YouTube channel, as well as many other fascinating lectures.

    EP 61: We Know You Can Pay a Million (with Anja Shortland) Shelf Life #16

    We have a real treat for you this time as we speak to financial crime expert Anja Shortland.

    EP 60: Blue Blood (with Robert Pickering)

    Blue Blood tells the story of Cazenove & Co., the prestigious stockbroking firm founded in 1823. Former CEO Robert Pickering reveals what happened in 2000 when the firm decided to abandon its traditional partnership structure, raise external capital and prepare for a stock market flotation. He then describes to Russell Napier the difficult years that followed as the firm reshaped its business, entered a joint venture with J.P. Morgan and ultimately moved towards a full takeover by the US banking giant (and what it felt like when the two working cultures collided). www.libraryofmistakes.com

    EP 59: How to Get Rich the American Way (with Joseph S. Moore)

    There are plenty of books suggesting ways in which wealthy people can invest their money, but very few for people who lack the investment funds in the first place. After suffering his own financial challenges, US academic Joseph S. Moore dipped into history to conduct a series of experiments in how to get the rich 'the American way'. That resulted in a funny, eye-opening and optimistic book, sparking an illuminating discussion between Joseph and Russell Napier for our latest episode. www.libraryofmistakes.com

    EP 58: Observatoire des Erreurs (with François Boutin-Dufresne) Shelf Life #15

    Join us in Montreal as we speak with François Boutin-Dufresne who, together with Karl Gauvin, is co-founder of the Observatoire des Erreurs – Canada's very own version of the Library of Mistakes. Inspired by a trip to Edinburgh, the Observatoire embraces the same ethos as the Library of Mistakes, and joins other extensions of our activity in Pune (India) and Lausanne (Switzerland). The Observatoire is currently an online community but is hoping to establish a physical presence – and François is a really interesting listen. We also hear from Didasko CEO David Clarke on summer activites in Edinburgh, while our Librarian, Helen Williams, dips into books about the oil industry. Enjoy! Presented by Leila Johnston & Fraser Allen. www.libraryofmistakes.com
