Daniel's showreel and videos

Topics, sessions and talks

Monetary Policy and Implications on Markets

Daniel Lacalle, author of Escape from the Central Bank Trap, discusses the impact of monetary policy on markets. He argues that the Federal Reserve's actions, such as lowering rates and expanding its balance sheet, can lay the groundwork for a crisis rather than causing downturns. Lacalle highlights that recessions stem from underinvestment and excessive risk-taking driven by cheap money. Attendees will learn how to navigate monetary policy to mitigate risks and prevent market bubbles.

Energy Transition, Security of Supply and Competitiveness

Daniel Lacalle, author of The Energy World Is Flat, discusses the critical need for energy policy to prioritise safety, diversification, and competitiveness. He advocates for a shift from subsidies to tax incentives, emphasising the development of local energy sources like renewables, hydro, nuclear, and natural gas. Lacalle also highlights the importance of improving interconnections between countries to enhance supply security. Attendees will learn practical strategies to address energy challenges from an industrial and technological perspective, rather than an ideological one.

Global Macro and the Failure of Stimulus

Daniel Lacalle, author of Freedom or Equality and Escape From The Central Bank Trap, discusses the shortcomings of aggressive stimulus policies over the past thirty years, highlighting their contribution to rising debt, stagnant growth, and declining real wages. He argues that the multiplier effect of government spending is negligible and that bloated government sizes demand more resources from the economy. Attendees will learn practical and effective strategies to address these issues and promote sustainable economic growth.
