The Productivity Podcast with Fexingo: Output, Efficiency, and Long-Term Economic Growth
For two centuries, productivity growth has been the engine of rising living standards, yet the past decade has seen a perplexing slowdown. In this show, Lucas and Luna examine the forces that drive — and inhibit — long-term economic output. Each episode focuses on a specific lever: from R&D investment and education reform to infrastructure spending and the diffusion of digital technologies. They avoid political rhetoric, instead grounding every discussion in historical data and named case studies — Japan’s lost decade, Germany’s Mittelstand, the post-2000 US productivity boom. Lucas, with his journalist’s eye, lays out the evidence; Luna, the engaged interlocutor, presses on the policy trade-offs and real-world frictions that academic models often ignore. The listener is someone who wants to understand not just why productivity matters, but what actually works — and what doesn’t — when it comes to making an economy more efficient over the long haul. By the end of a typical conversation, you’ll have a clear, number-backed argument about one driver of growth, and a sharper sense of the choices societies face.
