Listen to the last episode:
AI is changing how we work. It's turning us all into managers. Be a good one.
The Economist’s management columnist, Andrew Palmer, takes on the bots in the third season of Boss Class. From cloning to coding, agents to entry-level jobs, he tackles the threat head on and figures out how to turn anxiety into opportunity. Along the way he meets bulls and bears and the people who can help you to master management in the age of AI.
Full Season 3 out 29th January 2026.
