Burgess COMMENTARY Peter Burgess | |||||||||
| You 12:18 PM I graduated from Cambridge as an engineer some 60 years ago. I also learned some economics and qualified as a Chartered Accountant. I am bothered by why there is so little clarity about cost, price and value in almost all the discussion about really important products like oil. The public would be well served by having this information easily accessible ... You 12:59 PM Why don't markets work? I am appalled by the concentration of economic power over the past many decades. Why is this? Simply because a pure market would do a huge amount of damage to corporate profit / investor wealth ... and there is little political enthusiasm to address this ... You 01:09 PM I am fascinated by the role of oil and gas in MENA region ... and the associated resultant state of both society and the environment. Some of the most richly endowed countries are essentially using a variant of Universal Basic Income to reward their people (and not so sure abut 'basic'). You 01:18 PM GREAT WEBINAR ... THANK YOU VERY MUCH | |||||||||
