    Why the Rise of ‘Counter-Elites’ Spells Bad News for the UK

    Why the Rise of ‘Counter-Elites’ Spells Bad News for the UK

    The idea that history is cyclical is hardly new. But exactly what drives those cycles is up for debate. On this week’s Merryn Talks Money, Peter Turchin, author of End Times: Elites, Counter-Elites and the Path of Political Disintegration, suggests he’s solved the puzzle.

    Market update: 10 April 2020

    Market update: 10 April 2020

    Rob & Rob are back again with another Friday market update for you. 

    This week the property market has been a bit quiet, which isn’t always a bad thing. Nobody seems to be panicking when it comes to buying and selling, and they’re certainly not slashing prices either. 

    However, we’ve said many times that there will be deals to be made for those that need to sell their property sooner rather than later. And despite many holding out to see if prices would drop, there aren’t any indications of this happening right now.

    One thing Rob & Rob have noticed however, is a change in rental prices. Many landlords are taking their chances with reduced rents rather than no rents at all - which is a wise move. 

    Rob & Rob have also been doing a fair bit of reading this week, and Rob B has been reading up on the history (and the value of gold) after making a small investment himself. 

    So, what did he find out and how did his gold investment do? Well you’ll have to tune in to find out the answers - it’s actually pretty interesting. 

    Enjoy - and we’ll be back next week!

    P.S See if you can spot the mistake in this week's episode.... the lockdown is clearly having an affect on one Rob in particular!

     

    We’d love to hear what you think of our new market updates over on Facebook, Twitter or Instagram. You might even have a question you’d like us to cover in the future - if so, pop us a message on social and we’ll see what we can do.

    #174: The Thinking Man's Guide to Style

    #174: The Thinking Man's Guide to Style

    Since I started the site in 2008, I've read a lot of books about men's style. And one of the most fun, engaging, and witty books on the topic I've come across is called Men's Style: A Thinking Man's Guide to Dress. It's by a columnist and novelist named Russell Smith. Today on the show we discuss the philosophy of style, the history of it, why the great men of history were concerned about how they look, and why we should care today. We also get into practical tips on suits, shirts, shoes, etc.
