  • 139 - Back on Track: A special edition of New Business Paradigms

    Recorded on May 13, 2021 It’s been ten months since we dropped an episode, and the world looks very different than the last time we sat down with Rinaldo S. Brutoco, Founding President & CEO of the World Business Academy to hear his take on the politics, society, and the economy.  Many of our long-time listeners have expressed their sadness over our break, and so we are bringing you all this special edition of New Business Paradigms!    On this episode of New Business Paradigms, we focus exclusively on the changing economy as we emerge from the COVID-19 pandemic. Rinaldo and the Academy’s Executive Director, Kristy Jansen discuss the real economy, interrogate inflation fears and examine the adjusted April jobs report, which is actually not bad when you dig into the numbers. Also in consideration: the labor shortage affecting the hospitality industry; the value of women’s labor, and why this moment is not serving women very well; some policy changes needed to get America back to work. Hint, think about a living wage for all! Be sure to let us know you are listening!  Email: info@worldbusiness.org!  Support us at www.worldbusiness.org/donate.

  • 136 - Reassessing the situation – we can’t wait until November

    Recorded on July 4, 2020 In this episode of New Business Paradigms, Producer Benjamin Schwartz and President Rinaldo Brutoco discuss the positive actions the business community has gotten behind lately via the recent announcement from the Business Roundtable on the urgency of police reform and the widespread boycott of advertising on Facebook. Rinaldo contrasts these positive examples of businesses being responsive to the shifting mores in society to the old-school story of Bayer paying billions to settle Roundup lawsuits. The show concludes with some economic indicators, global signposts, and a discussion on the danger of a president who is being held hostage by a foreign leader. Listen now to learn more!

  • 135 - Dead men cash no checks...

    Recorded on June 27, 2020 On this episode of New Business Paradigms, Academy Chief of Staff, Kristy Jansen, and Academy President, Rinaldo Brutoco discuss how an effective federal government ideally would offer economic support to help states get back on their feet. Rinaldo touches off his discussion of how we might dig ourselves out of this economic collapse by comparing his perspective to one recently expressed by Paul Krugman.  Rinaldo notes that he agrees with Krugman about the absolute necessity of getting the pandemic under control before we can heal this economy but disagrees with Krugman over direct stimulus to individuals.  While Krugman argues it’s too expensive to keep funding additional unemployment insurance payments or to do ongoing direct payments to all adults, Rinaldo argues that we can’t afford NOT to keep American households solvent.  More direct payments, a transition to single-payer health insurance, and more investment in regular people are key for minimizing this downturn.  We reject these approaches at our peril. In addition, we address economic indicators, focusing on when gold might reach its true price – answer some listeners' questions – and spend a bit of time on Global Signposts. The show concludes with a discussion about the state of the Affordable Care Act and Rinaldo lambasts Governor Newsom for a failed reopening in California.
