Volatility and Risk | Save Your Retirement with Pat Strubbe

Society has yet to fully grapple with the administrative chaos that has ensued from the growth of the urban. One such city allows tremendous insight into the process of urbanization in the new millennium: Bengaluru. During the past two decades, Bengaluru’s real estate sector and infrastructure investments have exploded in a massive transformation that stimulated rapid urbanization and unbounded growth. The coedited collection of writings Chronicles of a Global City: Speculative Lives and Unsettled Futures in Bengaluru explores how people caught up in the whirlwinds of change—construction laborers, street vendors, gig workers—experience, struggle, strive, and speculate to make a livable city for themselves.


Several contributors to this project are gathered here in conversation:


Vinay Gidwani is professor of geography and global studies at the University of Minnesota and author of Capital Interrupted: Agrarian Development and the Politics of Work in India.

Hemangini Gupta is lecturer in gender and global politics and associate director of GENDER.ED at the University of Edinburgh. She is author of Experimental Times: Startup Capitalism and Feminist Futures in India and coeditor of Feminist Studies: An Introductory Reader.

Kaveri Medappa is a postdoctoral researcher in human geography at the University of Oxford. 

Swathi Shivanand is assistant professor at the Department of Liberal Arts, Humanities, and Social Sciences in Manipal Academy of Higher Education, Manipal, India.

Michael Goldman is associate professor of sociology and global studies at the University of Minnesota and author of Imperial Nature: The World Bank and Struggles for Social Justice in the Age of Globalization.



Praise for Chronicles of a Global City:

“A nuanced investigation into the precise nature in which Bengaluru (and the global sphere) has embraced what the authors have dubbed 'speculative urbanism', a capital-led paradigm that has monopolised the imagination over public spaces and city-building.”
—Frontline Magazine



Chronicles of a Global City: Speculative Lives and Unsettled Futures in Bengaluru is available from University of Minnesota Press.

Has the city become history?

The U.S. unemployment rate has remained near historic lows amid massive uncertainty from trade wars. 
A long-term structural trend—surging retirements—is keeping the unemployment rate from rising drastically even during short-term cyclical deterioration in the labour market.

In this episode of the 10-Minute Take, RBC Economics’ Carrie Freestone and Claire Fan discuss:
• The mechanisms of how record retirements keep the unemployment rate low over the medium-term.
• Why the U.S. arguably needs more new workers than it needs new jobs.
• How these structural forces will play out with near-term cyclical forces (like a labour market deterioration).
• How immigration policy in Canada has blunted—but not fully eliminated—the cost of population aging.


Why is the U.S. unemployment rate low amid trade uncertainty?

US equity markets mixed to open the new month and quarter, with the S&P 500 and Nasdaq pulling back from record highs as investors continued to monitor trade negotiations and the progress of President Trump’s  "One Big Beautiful Bill" through Congress - Dow climbed +400-points or +0.91% Amgen Inc (+5.05%) and UnitedHealth Group Inc (+4.54%) rallied over >4%, while Merck & Co Inc  (+3.35%), Nike Inc (+3.34%) and Sherwin-Williams Co (+3.38%) gained over >3%. Nvidia Corp (down -2.97%) was the worst performer in the 30-stock index overnight.

This discussion covers the book "Barren Metal" by E. Michael Jones, whose analysis traces the origins and evolution of capitalism, particularly through the lens of usury and its impact on society. It examines the Florentine oligarchs and their financial practices, connecting them to moral decline and the rise of magic and Neoplatonism as justifications for profit-seeking. The text further explores the Fugger family's financial dominance in Germany, their complex relationship with the Habsburgs and the Church, and the economic consequences of the Reformation, specifically the looting of Church property in England and its role in establishing modern property laws and debt structures. Finally, the sources contrast Continental economic thought, emphasizing solidarity and national productive power (as seen in figures like List and the Jesuit Reductions), with the British Enlightenment's focus on individual self-interest and free trade, which is linked to figures like Newton and Adam Smith, culminating in a critique of capitalism's social ramifications and its contribution to events like the Irish potato famine.

I believe that The Keen Wealth Advantage helps folks feel more confident about comprehensive financial planning and their road to retirement. I also believe wholeheartedly in the consumer being as educated as possible on their various options before entrusting their planning and investing to any financial advisor. This is one of the key reasons we are now in our 10th year of producing this podcast and blog, answering listener questions and giving listeners a candid “look behind the curtain” on all things personal financial planning. When you're meeting with professionals who could be managing your life savings for the rest of your life, there has to be more than just a personality fit. While personality is important, you also need to know what questions to ask and what warning signs to look for. Do they have a disciplined process and the depth and breadth of experience and resources to undertake this most serious responsibility? Are you able to confidently discern what your overall client experience will look like and know that they take the appropriate steps to ensure your confidential information is protected and that rules and regulations are being complied with?&nbsp; On today's show, we answer two discerning listener questions that will help you have more productive meetings with potential advisors.
