Selected Interviews with Economists and Industry Leaders through Jun’s Economy Lab
The global economy is undergoing significant transformation. The rise of crypto currency has the potential to reshape financial markets and everyday transactions, including in developing economies. We have yet to fully comprehend the implications of the rapid diffusion of AI across industries for labor markets, industrial structure, and future growth models. How AI technology and crypto currency may accelerate each other is another topic of growing interest. On the fiscal side, mounting public debt and persistent inflation continue to challenge households and policymakers around the world.
Through conversations with leading economists, central bankers, and technology executives, I explore these developments from the perspective of those closest to the change. These interviews provide grounded insights into the forces reshaping the global economy and offer a window into where the next phase of economic and technological evolution may lead.
