In this episode of What Matters Today, we examine the evolving landscape of global economics under the new Trump administration. We'll explore the potential shifts in inflation trends, fiscal policies, and trade relations that could shape both the domestic and international economic environment. We'll discuss how these changes might influence global trade dynamics, and economic partnerships, particularly focusing on regions closely tied to the US economy. Additionally, we'll take a historical perspective to compare this moment with previous periods of political and economic uncertainty, seeking lessons that might illuminate the path ahead. Our guest for this episode is Rui Esteves, Professor of International History and Politics at the Geneva Graduate Institute.
