The Economist
The Economist videos give authoritative insight and opinion on international news, politics, business, finance, science, technology and the connections between them.
We're also producing full films such as The Disrupters, an original series exploring how major industries—from music and cars to hospitality—are currently being disrupted by the latest wave of digital innovation. As well as enjoying privileged access into the world biggest tech start ups we show how industry giants respond when faced with such tech-driven innovation—do they adapt—or die?
Subscribe to our channel to be among the first to see the new films in the series when we post them.
