The joy of working as a market economist is, and has always been the constant need to research and learn about the changing landscape of the way that the world works, going far beyond the limited scope of economics and financial markets; be that in respect of how globalization, energy transition and technology has and is transforming nearly all aspects of communication, culture, energy and how we interact with the environment on all levels.
