POPULARITY
This afternoon on the Jon Sanchez Show at 3pm, we will be joined by a very special guest, Dr. Caroline Freund, Dean of the UC San Diego School of Global Policy and Strategy. Dr. Freund is an expert in international trade and economic development and was the chief economist for the Middle East and North Africa at the World Bank. We'll find out her perspectives on the global tariff situation and what it means for the stock market and your money.
The inauguration of Donald Trump caps off an extraordinary political comeback. Trump's brand of anti-establishment populism, once thought an anomaly, is now at the apex of U.S.—and indeed global—politics. As the “Make America Great Again” movement seeks to rewrite the political rulebook, Talking Policy host Lindsay Shingler speaks with five University of California experts to unpack what this political revolution means for the world. Tai Ming Cheung, IGCC director and UC San Diego professor, examines the implications of a hawkish approach to China for Washington's relationship with Beijing. Caroline Freund, dean of the UC San Diego School of Global Policy and Strategy, looks ahead to what a nationalist trade policy could mean for the U.S. and global economy. IGCC postdoctoral fellow on technology and international security Nicolas Wittstock analyzes what an “energy dominance” agenda could imply for U.S. clean technology development and broader climate objectives. Rupal Mehta, chair of research and postdoctoral fellows program and senior fellow at the Center of Global Security Research at the Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory, discusses what “America First” could mean for the global security architecture and managing threats from U.S. adversaries. Finally, IGCC research director for democracy and global governance and UC San Diego distinguished research professor Stephan Haggard unpacks how Trump will manage U.S. leadership of the liberal international order amid heightened competition between democracies and autocracies.These interviews were recorded over the course of January 7th to January 17th.

When is economic decoupling not economic decoupling? When it drives your allies to tighter commercial links with your adversary. That's the situation the US finds itself in today, when it comes to its policies directed against China. Since the Trump administration put tariffs on Chinese imports in 2018, the US has been trying to extricate itself from commercial ties with the world's second-largest economy. President Biden has expanded the policy to keep China locked out of US supply chains in a few key high-tech industries. On the outside it looks like decoupling or de-risking is actually working. Business operations are relocating to other southeast Asian countries, India, and Mexico. But in crucial ways, the process is only skin deep. Take a closer look and the exodus from China is actually driving closer integration between the Chinese economy, and those of America's friends. On this week's podcast, hosts Mike Bird, Tom Lee-Devlin and Alice Fulwood, examine whether US policy towards China is really working. Caroline Freund, Dean of the UC San Diego School of Global Policy and Strategy, explains how the countries that are expanding their exports to the US are at the same time becoming more integrated in supply chains with China. And Chris Miller, Associate Professor of international history at Tufts University and author of “Chip War: The Fight for the World's Most Critical Technology” describes how reshoring, and lengthening supply chains is going to come at considerable cost.Sign up for our new weekly newsletter dissecting the big themes in markets, business and the economy at www.economist.com/moneytalks For full access to print, digital and audio editions, subscribe to The Economist at www.economist.com/podcastoffer Hosted on Acast.

President Trump heralded a “new chapter in American greatness” in his address to Congress last night. A pretty picture, says senior fellow at the Peterson Institute for International Economics, Caroline Freund, but not the likely outcome. The former World Bank economist predicted that the next four years are going to look very like Reagan’s presidency while the US economy experiences a short boom followed by a crash. Columnist Chris Johns said Trump’s speech was light on detail about the administration’s much mooted plans to reform tax and the president appeared to demonstrate a lack of understanding about what exactly VAT is. Both Freund and Johns agreed that the US corporate tax system is bad for domestic business and President Trump is right to have it in his cross-hairs, though that would spell bad news for Ireland. Also on the podcast, Laura Slattery and Mark Paul of the business team were in studio to discuss the rumours of exploratory talks on a possible take-over of The Examiner by Independent News Media.
