US Government > investment uncertainty in aircraft production

Quote from Video

I've referenced a US Army official history of World War II. This is a big debate in 1940 when the US was trying to get companies to invest ahead of the surge in demand in aircraft production. And there was a lot of debate that was similar to the debates you see today.

FT competition readers > Europe's post-World War I borders

Quote from Video

In 1914, an FT competition asked readers to predict what Europe's future borders would look like after the end of World War I. No one got it right. Why? Because by 1921, when the results were announced, borders had changed more than anyone could have imagined.
