Statements like: "M&A isn't busy right now" "Interest rates are too high" "The economy is slow" I don't like entertaining those broad macro statements because they're demoralizing. If things are bad, what's the point? It makes you want to curl up and wait for better times. The reality is that things are always being done. Even in a "bad" job market, people still get jobs. Yes, there are outliers like the Great Depression but otherwise, there's a constant flow of opportunities/capital. It's much better to just assume the universe is conspiring in your favor and to be on offense, ESPECIALLY when others are buying into the macro narrative and retreating. Tune out the world and be on your front foot.

NEW SUBSTACK: New Labour's optimism was crucial in winning power. Yet today I’m struck by the challenge we’ve got taking on the politics of pessimism and defeating the ‘three impossibles’: 1. Isn’t a new golden age is impossible? 2. Isn’t a share of progress for ordinary people impossible? 3. Isn’t it impossible for you (Labour) to deliver, when to coin a phrase, there is no money? And we can’t see the difference between you anyway. Confronting pessimism is important because evidence suggests optimists favor progressive parties. So: if we’re too offer a vision of the future, a bit of Harold Wilson white heat if you like, there’s five key trends we might talk about more often. And it’s important if we’re to avoid the trap explained by Keynes in the 1930’s when he wrote; “I predict that both of the two opposed errors of pessimism which now make so much noise in the world will be proved wrong in our time—the pessimism of the revolutionaries who think that things are so bad that nothing can save us but violent change, and the pessimism of the reactionaries who consider the balance of our economic and social life so precarious that we must risk no experiments.” In fact we should avoid both the snares of reactionary or revolutionary politics. Because what is needed is a reformation, animated by a confidence that five big changes are going to transform the future:   1. The size of the global economy is set to double in just the next 35 years, and 2. Global gigabit connectivity will connect together this market like never before 3. Artificial intelligence will offer a £6 trillion prize 4. Genetic medicine will transform healthcare and foster new industries, and 5. The shift to a green economy will create hundreds of thousands of new well-paid jobs.

If I could bottle up economic sentiment and how the market has 'felt' in the last three years, this is it! The numbers tell the story... What's even better is that the Q1 '24 figures exceeded expectations. Yes, there is a lot of ground to make up. Yes, people are still feeling the pinch. Yes, there will be conflicting feelings and opinions. But by and large, this exactly mirrors what we're hearing from our clients and partners in the market. And on top of that, we're hearing about a surge since the start of April, so hopefully this will continue as an upward trend. Does this mirror what you're seeing/feeling in the market? Let's discuss in the comments below -- after all, economic confidence is just that. Confidence. Let's share some! #Economy #Recruitment #EconomicOutlook

Although still new to Substack, we are not new to discussions surrounding economics, interest rates, and monetary policy. Quite the opposite in fact. In another capacity, we first began penning daily commentary in 2003, back when getting an email was still sort of exciting. We’ve covered the economy and related topics pretty much daily ever since then, including branching out into our own endevour almost a decade ago. Over that time, we’ve seen and read about all sorts of narratives about near-term bubbles and unsustainable paths and euphoria and anything else that can drive a click, but never about the actual longer-term economic fundamentals driving results. And that’s okay with us, because that’s where we come in to play..."

“This is the economic constitution of our entire modern society: the working class alone produces all value.”  The strength and resilience of US employment, and the growing sense a recession has been dodged, hides fundamental imbalance: if consumers are too broke to consume, then how are corporate earnings set to rise?

Post 1: 🤝The Primary Economy – The Power Behind the Big Players🤝 It’s shocking how little we know about the Primary Economy and its massive influence on our everyday lives. We’re talking about the Investors, Business Owners, and Governments—the ones pulling the strings and deciding how resources are collected and distributed. Imagine a family where the head makes all the key decisions for the well-being of the entire household. Sounds familiar, right? Well, that’s exactly what the Primary Economy does for our society. But here’s the real question: How much do we know about the way this system affects us? I’m diving into the structure and impact of the Primary Economy in my latest blog post. If you’re curious about how it shapes our world and your role in it, Trust me, this is something we should all know. I will be posting these posts in 3 different sections for better understanding and visibility. #NetworkingPower #EconomicGrowth #BusinessSuccess #SustainableEconomy #GlobalConnections
