    The David McWilliams Podcast

    The aim of this weekly podcast is to make economics easy, uncomplicated and accessible. With the world at a political, technological and financial tipping point, economics has never been so important to all of us and yet, it’s made inaccessible and complicated by so many.

    I’ve always thought what is complicated is rarely important and what is important is rarely complicated.

    That will be our motto.

    Every week we are going to tease out some big economic or political issue facing us, not just here in Ireland but in Europe and further afield. Globalisation has brought us all together. We all face similar challenges whether you live in Dublin, London, Minnesota or Milan.

    A guide to understanding Germany Jun 25, 2019
    Show notes

    Why has Germany, the most important country in Europe, not had the political sway that matches its economic dominance and how that might change in the future.


    Why it's time to move Dublin Port Jun 18, 2019
    Show notes

    Dublin Port is 600 acres of prime residential land, beside the sea, close to all transport links and it should be developed in a new city on the water. The rest of the world is moving their ports, even Cork is, yet in Dublin, the legacy of a time when ports had to be at the mouths of rivers because rivers were a country's key transport links, dominates our urban thinking. It is time to move the port, reimagine the city, reconsider the gateway to the capital and reorientate our city to face the sea, Dublin's best natural resource, rather than turning our backs to it.


    International property cycles Jun 11, 2019
    Show notes

    The global markets have never been so connected, and economies tend to be cyclical - what does that mean for Ireland as we face the real possibility of a global economic slowdown?


    Trump's tariffs explained & the new tech cold war Jun 04, 2019
    Show notes

    As Trump lands in Ireland this week, we examine his trade war with China, his tariff policy and who it really hurts, plus why China and the US are heading for a major conflict and why the new Cold War is in truth a tech Cold War which the US believes it has to win and the implications of all this for politics, Silicon Valley and the world economy.


    Exploring the ramifications of a united Ireland May 28, 2019
    Show notes

    There's a wind of change in the air and its nationalism, you can feel it - it's in France, in the UK and even in Ireland. For the first time in a long time, Brexit and demographics in Northern Ireland have opened a real possibility of a united Ireland. But what would it mean, culturally, politically and economically?


    Special episode: A sit down with Bernie Sanders May 23, 2019
    Show notes

    This is going to be a bit of a different one - back in 2017 I had a chance to sit down with Bernie Sanders for a wonderful conversation - and as some of the topics discussed then are still making headlines now, we wanted to share this amazing conversation with you.


    US politics, the fed, AOC & quantitative easing May 21, 2019
    Show notes

    It's time to join the dots. We explore why the shift to the left from younger voters is simply a logical reaction to policies that were put in place to save the baby boomer's way of life, what that means for politics & for the economy now, and in the future.


    Shadow banks & Dublin's crane epidemic May 14, 2019
    Show notes

    Is Dublin about to experience a commercial property crash? For some, the skyline with swarms of cranes signals prosperity, to others it signals risk. Which one will it be?


    Black Irish & European elections May 12, 2019
    Show notes

    They say history repeats itself. Economic history certainly does. In this podcast, we are going to look at the upcoming European elections and in particular, the rise of populist parties, through the lens of Irish history and specifically, what happened in American politics in reaction to 1000 Irish emigrants a day arriving, poor and destitute into New York in the 1840s and 1850s. The story the Irish in the ghettos of New York and "nativist" political reaction to mass migration will help us understand what is going on in Europe right now. I hope you enjoy it.


    Is Brexit good or bad for Ireland? May 06, 2019
    Show notes

    How can Ireland make the best of Brexit? Join us as we explore the potential benefits and pitfalls of Brexit through soccer anecdotes, comparisons with Yugoslavia, and childhood bar stories to outline Ireland's path to success post-Brexit
