Thought for the Week: Why Attitudinal Transformation Matters
Author of 'Capitalism in the 21st Century' Thomas Piketty proposes an unconditional 'inheritance' endowment for all young people on reaching 25 years of age. Grants often appear to offer instant solutions to problems of inequality, but unless they are accompanied by conditional incentivised learning they will not achieve inter-generational rebalancing. In contrast, Muhammad Yunus has built accountability into his design for micro-finance, thereby enabling young people to look forward with a constructive approach towards achieving their potential in our fast-changing world. Attitudinal transformation takes time and commitment to take hold, but it does achieve results. Background music: 'World's Sunrise' by1 Jimena Contreras Image source: Wikipedia

This Is Money: How far would you go to avoid your personal tax raid?
Tax is an increasingly taxing subject for many people who feel hard done by as Britain’s complicated system catches them out. From quirks of the system, such as the 60 per cent tax trap and child benefit removal, to the childcare cliff edge, frozen thresholds, and pensions soon to be dragged into inheritance tax, there’s a whole host of things to drive us mad. And, it’s getting worse. The Tories and now Labour have both chosen to ratchet up the things that trip people up to raise money, rather than sort out a tax system that most economists say is a total mess. So how far would you go to avoid your personal tax raid? And is tax changing people’s behaviour? Lee highlights how. Georgie Frost, Lee Boyce and Simon Lambert dive into how the British tax tail is wagging the dog. Plus, as the Switch 2 arrives and the video game industry goes from strength to strength, should you invest in video game firms? How much do you need for a comfortable retirement – and what does that get you? And finally, you put up an eight foot fence for privacy, your neighbour has gone from non-plussed to threatening to call the council over a planning breach, what do you do? The team have some answers. Are we allowed an eight foot fence? Our neighbour says we've broken planning rules.

Modern Mindset: Shaun Forrester on the Importance of Physical Money
Daniel Clewlow is joined by Shaun Forrester from Loomis UK. They discuss new research carried out by Loomis UK regarding physical money. Despite the UK's ongoing shift towards digital payments, a significant portion of the population continues to value and rely on cash. This new research reveals that nearly 8 in 10 Brits believe all UK businesses should be legally required to accept cash and over 3 in 5 Brits oppose a fully cashless society. https://www.loomis.com/en

Modern Mindset: Michael Follett on the Active Uniform Alliance
Rory McGowan is joined by Michael Follett, Founder & Director of OPAL and an International Play Consultant. They've found some new research that shows widespread support from the public for UK schools to change their policies and adopt an always active uniform. The Alliance, founded by Outdoor Play and Learning, the Youth Sport Trust, Play England, and the Centre for Young Lives claims traditional uniforms restrict movement, limit opportunities for active play, and don’t reflect the needs of modern learning environments. https://outdoorplayandlearning.org.uk/

The Hypnotist: Defeating the Nemesis of Public Speaking Anxiety
The challenge of being the centre of attention such as with public speaking can be difficult, but preparatory states can also be resourceful: think of Novak Djokovic tapping the ball on the ground before he serves. This episode helps you to condition that preparation to benefit from a sense of anticipation and excitement rather than fear.

The Business of Film: Karate Kid – Legends, The Salt Path & A Widow's Game
James Cameron-Wilson is impressed that the box office has fallen only 20% with Lilo & Stitch and Mission Impossible #1 & #2. #3 is Karate Kid: Legends with Jackie Chan (the sixth in the series). It is formulaic but moves at a good clip. Independent film The Salt Path is #4, packing out screens where it is showing. It's an unbelieveable but true story with Jason Isaacs & Gillian Anderson and is worthy but lacking cinematic oomph. On Netflix James caught the Spanish crime drama A Widow's Game, which can be seen subtitled or dubbed. Sadly, it is all too obvious who the guilty party is.

The Financial Outlook for Personal Investors: Financials and banks
Russ Mould of A J Bell points out that financial stocks have been performing really well of late, partly because things have been boring for them, with nothing untoward happening, while the yield curve is working in their favour. Banks will benefit from supply chains being brought home. They're difficult for private investors to analyse and there's a risk of performance chasing but, if they generate double-digit returns, there could be more to go. Russ highlights the banks value investors might favour and those offering decent yields, especially the big banks, which are also engaged in buybacks.

Gadgets & Gizmos: Albert Einstein's business card, concrete coffee makers & the world's smallest violin
Steve Caplin is excited by Jony Ive's new venture, even though nobody yet knows what it is. He wonders how much Albert Einstein's business card will fetch. There's a face sticker that can monitor employees' tiredness, but there's a catch. Living tattoos have been developed for buildings. The UK's first flying taxi has had a real world flight over the Cotswolds. Who might want to buy a concrete coffeemaker? Loughborough University has created the world's smallest violin. Knee pain might be reduced with in-ear treatment. And you will soon be able to buy your own spaceplane – for a mere $30m.
