The constant talk of economic turmoil can be overwhelming for leaders. It’s easy to get caught up in the headlines, but Philipp Carlsson-Szlezak, Global Chief Economist at Boston Consulting Group, is here to offer a fresh perspective.

In this episode, Philipp explains why clinging to the Master Model Mentality—the belief that one-size-fits-all economic models can guide us through uncertainty—is a recipe for trouble.

Instead, he advocates for Economic Eclecticism, a flexible approach that pulls insights from various fields, helping leaders navigate the unpredictable landscape with confidence.

We’ll dive into how AI is quietly reshaping costs, the persistent tightness in the labor market, and why you might not need to panic about inflation after all.

Plus, we tackle a big, thought-provoking question: is the American Dream truly dead, or is it just in need of a new interpretation?

Philipp sheds light on these crucial topics, helping leaders stay grounded while others get lost in the noise.
