Es ist schon fast ein Ritual und liebgewonnener Inhalt: Christof und Julian sprechen über den 146 Seiten (= 4588 Zeilen) starken Koalitionsvertrag der neuen Bundesregierung aus CDU, CSU und SPD unter Kanzler Friedrich Merz. Und das natürlich in gewohnter PmbH-Manier: Mit Fokus auf die Wirtschaftsthemen, dem ein oder anderen absurden Aspekt und natürlich mit geschränkter Haftung.

Everywhere you look, you can see the decline of Western hegemony, as the world is increasingly multipolar. Ben Norton analyzes the rise of China, development of Global South economies, and increasing unity in Asia. A symbol of this was the historic ASEAN-GCC-China Summit held in Malaysia, which supplements BRICS in pursuit of dedollarization, South-South economic integration, and infrastructure construction.

Michael Every of Rabobank discusses the evolving global financial and geopolitical landscape. He explores the potential transformation of the dollar system from one based on financialization to one focused on industrial production, possibly involving Bitcoin as a strategic reserve and dollar stablecoins, with the aim of reducing inequality both within and between countries. The conversation also touches on the concept of multipolarity and the emergence of regional blocs, while questioning whether any alternative currency or system can truly replace the dollar's global acceptance. He examines the potential for military conflict in this great interregnum period and explains neo-mercantilism as the key takeaway.

Michael Every: Neo-Mercantilism & the New World Order #563

When I wrote this, it was during a time of frustration and worry about not being a patient and good enough father. To overcome this, I thought of my grind as fighting to maintain good mental health, showing up everyday doing the little things for my family that I could while I had no immediate income coming in. 

It was a tough time and currently it still is with the economy and US relations, but I am gonna keep grindin everyday, one day at a time. 

If you are always worried about the future, you are not alone.

If you are grindin for your kids in a way a lot of people might not see, you might feel this song.

These Days

Lions & Tariffs & Bears, Oh My!

How tariffs are impacting businesses and consumers in the Gunnison Valley

More than 4,000 bills were introduced during the 2025 General Assembly session, with only 286 gaining final legislative approval.  
The CBIA BizCast team sat down with CBIA vice president of public policy Chris Davis to break down the session and some of the important bills that will impact the business community.  
“There were a lot of long nights right at the end of session, especially in those last few days,” Davis said.  
Much of the focus in the last days of the session centered on the state budget.  
The $55.8 billion budget adopted by the state legislature uses fiscal guardrail workarounds and business tax hikes to increase state spending by $2.6 billion over the next two years.
Davis said the workarounds to the fiscal guardrails are troubling for businesses.  
“For us in the business community, they’re not just talking points these caps,” he said.  
“They are truly what gives us predictability, sustainability, and stability. 
“Boosting up that spending beyond what we can really afford is what gives us a lot of pause, because that’s going to lead to future tax increases, something that we know that businesses simply can’t afford here in Connecticut.” 
The budget did create a new endowment that will pay for early childhood development programs. 
“We’re happy to see that this expansion happens because getting more people back into the workforce, having them have the ability to afford that childcare in order to go back to work is very important,” Davis said.  
“We just felt like there was much better ways that we could have funded it and be more sustainable over a longer period of time.” 
Davis said the session did feature some important “wins” for the business community and state economy.
Those bills include reforming the apprenticeship hiring ratios for trades industries, raising the R&D tax credit for bioscience companies, and addressing potentially costly changes to the workers’ compensation system.
Davis also highlighted the importance of key permitting reforms and replacing the outdated Transfer Act with new release-based cleanup regulations. 
“We really see this as one of the biggest economic wins that we’ve had in decades here,” he said.  
“We’re really looking forward to working with our partners in state government in order to implement them.” 
Davis did note that there was a lot of focus on preventing costly labor mandates and healthcare policies from being enacted.
While the 2025 session may be over, that does not mean the work ends for CBIA’s policy team.
They’re working with state agencies to implement the new regulations and other bills.  
And the team will also spend the coming months engaging with members and legislators. 
That includes coordinating legislator visits at businesses around the state, listening tours, and reviewing CBIA’s annual Survey of Connecticut Businesses.   
Those conversations and feedback will help inform CBIA’s policy solutions for the 2026 legislative session.
“It’s important for businesses to know that we are here getting your feedback, not only from things that just passed this past session, but also things that you would like to see change going forward,” Davis said.

Christof und Julian nehmen Euch mit auf die Reise durch die wundersame Welt der Wirtschaft. Absurdes, Abenteuerliches und Aberwitziges sind in diesem Wirtschafts-Podcast keine Randnotiz, sondern füllen ganze Episoden - denn jedes Mal philosophieren Christof und Julian über nichts Geringeres als über die zum Scheitern verurteilten Ideen zur Rettung der Welt und über die schönsten und gleichzeitig moralisch fragwürdigen Geschäftsmodelle.

Vielen Leuten geht es so, dass sie das Gefühl haben, zu wenig oder gar nichts über "diese Wirtschaft" zu wissen oder nur an trockene, öde Aktienkurse oder noch schlimmer an die Steuererklärung denken. Wenn es Dir auch so geht, dann wird dich unser Podcast "Wundersame Wirtschaftswelt - Der Podcast mit beschränkter Haftung (PmbH)" vom Gegenteil überzeugen. In jeder Episode nehmen sich Christof und Julian jeweils ein moralisch fragwürdiges Geschäftsmodell und eine zum Scheitern verurteilte Weltidee vor, diskutieren darüber und spinnen diese weiter und ordnen für Euch ganz nebenbei Fachchinesisch und aktuelle Geschehnisse ein. Wir sind nicht der erste Business-Podcast, aber mit Sicherheit einer der unterhaltsamsten. Wenn Du über absurde, abscheuliche, abenteuerliche und aberwitzige Episoden des Wirtschaftsleben Bescheid wissen willst, dann ist die "Wundersame Wirtschaftswelt - Der Podcast mit beschränkter Haftung (PmbH)" genau das Richtige für Dich.
