On this week's edition we get an update on Israel's robust economy from Peter Hirschberg of Bloomberg's Jerusalem bureau, who explains how the country's conservative banks have managed to weather the economic storm. We also hear from our Milan correspondent, Ivan Carvalho, who's been doing the rounds at Europe's yacht shows, and Mark Forsyth of the UK's John Lewis department stores is in the studio to discuss the company's new retail initiative, "Make do and mend". Editor Andrew Tuck and culture editor Rob Bound also join our host and editor-in-chief Tyler Brûlé for comment, debate and this week's music pick.

The Monocle Weekly is a mix of smart discussion, previews, field reports and feature interviews. From our studio in London and our bureaux in Tokyo and New York, Monocle's editors focus on the horizon and explore the looming stories within the five areas that define our editorial agenda: global affairs, business, culture, design and consumer culture.

Hosted by editor in chief Tyler Brûlé, The Monocle Weekly also offers fresh angles on stories in the current issue and delivers in-depth follow-ups from past assignments. Culture editor Robert Bound is a regular with his weekly playlist of artists established and obscure.

Editor Andrew Tuck pulls in contributions from our correspondents in far flung corners and moderates debates. And from Tokyo and New York editors Fiona Wilson and Ann Marie Gardner deliver features and perspectives from Asia and the Americas.
