Manhattan transfer: New York’s finance folk flee

"The Intelligence" podcast presents three distinct segments: the shifting financial landscape of New York City, the global trends in alcohol consumption, and the rise of Chinese rapper Sky Is Your God. The first segment explores New York City's diminishing financial sector influence due to high taxes and cost of living, leading to a potential clash between the financial sector and the new mayor's policies. The second segment analyzes the global alcohol industry, noting a decline in consumption in Western markets due to health concerns and economic factors, contrasted by rising consumption in emerging markets and a focus on premium and non-alcoholic options. Finally, the podcast examines the international popularity of Sky Is Your God, a Chinese rapper whose music resonates globally through short-form video platforms, blending Chinese and Western influences.
