War of the Worlds: The Dark Networks Within

The New Fund Order

Welcome to the New Fund Order. An Orwellian journey into the Darkside, the Frontier and the Fringe of Finance.
In a feature-length Radiocast we venture into the Science and Science Fiction of Asset Management as luminaire and writer Tom Chatfield explores our 'MetaCognition' and the wars in our world between people, and between humans and technology. Framed with original clips from the famous Mercury Theatre ‘War of the Worlds’ production by non other than Orson Wells.
How do we reconcile protest in Finance? Why are people revolting against established structures? How is data being used by us and against us? What is ‘surveillance capitalism’? Are markets efficient or manipulated? Do we collectively face a war of the worlds, in social media, data and society?
