I was fortunate to interview Lyric Hughes Hale for the CFA Society Chicago. Lyric Hughes Hale is editor-in-chief of EconVue, a publisher of online economic news and analysis by independent experts. She is producer of the Hale Report, a Chicago-based podcast series on economics with featured guests from around the world. A consultant to multinational corporations, she has contributed to a range of publications including the Yale Books Blog, the Huffington Post, the Financial Times, Los Angeles Times, USA Today, Current History and Institutional Investor. China Takes Off, published in Foreign Affairs in 2003 and written jointly with her husband David Hale, is one of the most oft-cited surveys of China’s economic ascendency. Their book, "What’s Next? Unconventional Wisdom on the Future of the World Economy" was published by Yale University Press.
We spoke about China and Japan and how those major economies would evolve in 2023. The events in the second and third largest economies will certainly impact all of us. Lyric did not disappoint as she is not only very knowledgeable about these markets, but also very well-connected there as well. When Lyric speaks, I listen.
I hope you enjoy the conversation as much as I did.
Stay Vigilant
Looking forward
