Middle-class wilt: what’s happened to Asia’s middle-earners?

Guests: The Economist’s Ethan Wu; Wolfgang Fengler, CEO of research firm World Data Lab; and Ibrahim “Ben” Suffian of the Merdeka Centre for Opinion Research.

AI for science: Demis Hassabis, Jennifer Doudna and James Manyika

The most transformational impact of AI will probably be to make science faster and more productive. Solve that problem and you can do more great things even faster—alleviate disease, tackle climate change or help astronomers explore new worlds. In this episode, we speak to both the makers of AI models and the researchers who are already seeing the benefits of AI in their laboratories. Alok Jha, The Economist’s science and technology editor, interviews Demis Hassabis, CEO of Google DeepMind, and James Manyika, senior vice president of research, technology and society at Google. Jennifer Doudna, founder of the Innovative Genomics Institute, tells us how AI is already making a difference in her labs. The Economist’s Alex Hern considers the future of the field. For more on AI in science, check out our previous episodes of Babbage: how AI promises to revolutionise science (September 2023), our two-parter on AI and health (May 2024) and our series on the science that built the AI revolution (March 2024).

Rio brand: why Brazil is courting China

Trade ties between the two countries have been increasing for over a decade. The election of Donald Trump for a second term means the relationship could now become even closer. Going to space could harm human health (7:57). And why Britain has such miserable mobile-phone service (14:43).

Climate change: could China lead the world’s fight?

LONGi is one of the world’s biggest solar manufacturers. At its headquarters in Shaanxi province, robots turn slices of silicon into solar cells around the clock. Companies like LONGi have helped China become a clean-energy powerhouse. The solar panels and lithium-ion batteries the country produces are crucial for greening the world’s economies. But China is also the world’s biggest emitter of carbon dioxide. Shaanxi province is home to a thriving coal industry. And China’s love affair with the stuff is far from over: last year, on average, two new coal-fired power plants were approved every week. The country has work to do if it’s to hit Xi Jinping’s target of being carbon-neutral by 2060. In the final days of the COP29 conference, Alice Su, The Economist’s senior China correspondent, and Gabriel Crossley, our correspondent based in Beijing, examine China’s climate policy and ask: what’s stopping the country from leading the world’s fight against climate change? For more on COP29, check out the latest episodes of our sister podcasts: “Babbage” looks at how to wean countries off coal, while “Money Talks” counts the cost of the energy transition.

The long game: how will US missiles help Ukraine?

America feared that letting Ukraine use US weapons to attack far-off targets in Russia would escalate the conflict. Why has President Joe Biden finally changed his mind? Markets soared when Donald Trump was elected, but the longer-term impact of Trumponomics may be less positive (9:42). And why airships are back in our skies (18:12).

Great brief of world events.

As another reviewer notes, the bad reviews come from people who can't stand Trump *and* people who can't say a bad thing about Trump. That tells you everything you need to know. This is a direct, balanced report on major news.
All the low ratings

When the low ratings are from different sides of the spectrum you know you found something worse listening to. Idk if I always agree, but the coverage is balanced, useful and thought provoking

I want to like the Economist more, because it has some good programming with interesting stories, but the political reporting is always slanted. Why? Anything conservative or right leaning seems to be bashed by the Economist’s reporters. It really is off putting and why I am giving the program two stars.
I subscribe….

The Economist is getting my scathing 1* review because it’s actually just a sub par predictive news agency. The fact they spent a half year yapping about a close thing that was a Trump blowout showed me that they are just like all the other entertainment news agencies out there and are, in the best interpretation, just not very good or, in the worst interpretation, knowingly misleading.
