In this clip from Makin Sense, Simon Lincoln Reader and Dr Frans Cronje discuss a future scenario for the United Kingdom (UK) that has been proposed by the CEO of Goldman Sachs, Jamie Dimon, and the CEO of Blackstone, Stephen A Schwarzman. Dimon and Schwarzman propose that the UK electorate’s reaction to the deleterious policies of their Labour government will be to elect a government that has the opposite policy platform. They posit that the new government, probably led by Nigel Farage, could bring about a series of hardline reforms necessary to stabilise the UK's budget and restore social trust. The discussion concludes on the note that, in the panic of the current moment, analysts might be underestimating the long-term upside of the UK. Makin Sense is the flagship podcast of The Common Sense, a new South African media organisation that offers independent analysis on South African and global news stories. Our foundational value is respect for the time our subscribers invest in reading, listening to, and watching our content. We stress the bridge issues that unite people and not the wedge issues that are used to divide and celebrate all the things that are good about South Africa and the world because it is in so many respects a wonderful time to be alive.
