Simon Johnson Launches Power and Consequences with Gary Gensler

Congratulations to Nobel Prize-winning economist Simon Johnson on the launch of “Power and Consequences,” a new podcast series with former U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission Chairman Gary Gensler.

Last fall, Genaesis Founder and CEO Erin-Michael Gill hosted Professor Johnson at the Cosmos Club in Washington, DC for a discussion on AI and the global economy. That conversation centered on AI’s promises of productivity and shared prosperity, and on its default trajectory toward automation and concentrated gain.

“Power and Consequences” offers a broader audience insights on political power, economic policy, and what they mean in practice. As economic issues reshape how transactions are valued and structured, insights from economists who understand the policy forces driving those shifts are increasingly important.
