(Interview recorded on 18 November, 2025)
In this Money Talks, Paul Brennan is joined by Simon Angelo, editor of Wealth Morning:
- Is the Kiwi dream of a quarter-acre section is being eroded by intensification and high levels of immigration? Simon argues that denser living is reshaping our community life, housing affordability, and even voting patterns. This is not the Kiwi way.
- Is America entering a new golden age? Simon explains how the United States continues to defy expectations by posting strong growth numbers. This American-led boom could provide a positive lift for global markets, including investors here in New Zealand.
- Is artificial intelligence paving the way for unexpected innovation? Simon explains how AI’s disruption of the Old Economy could create a New Economy. For investors, this turning point could present startling opportunities as agile businesses harness AI to scale faster, and capture markets that didn’t exist even a year ago.
