Sarah Leedom — Co-founder & COO of Inkomoko Centering Dignity and Economic Power with Inkomoko's Sarah Leedom In this episode of Founder of Impact, the spotlight turns to Inkomoko with cofounder and COO Sarah Leedom, who shares how the organization is transforming the economic future of refugees and micro-entrepreneurs across East Africa. We explore the origins of Inkomoko's model, the realities facing displaced entrepreneurs, and the organization's commitment to centering dignity in every aspect of its work.

For centuries, the United States was the undisputed hegemonic power across the Western Hemisphere; however, that is no longer the case today. China is now the largest trading partner for the majority of countries in Latin America and is quickly filling the void left by a decades-long U.S. retrenchment. In his new book, "Economic Displacement: China and the End of U.S. Primacy in Latin America," Francisco Urdinez, an assistant professor at the Pontifical Catholic University of Chile, argues that U.S. neglect of the region has created a critical opening for China to expand both its economic and political influence in the Americas. Francisco joins Eric from Santiago to discuss the future of the U.S.-China rivalry in Latin America.

Command of Commerce: America's Enduring Economic Power Advantage over China (Oxford UP, 2025) provides a systematic reevaluation of the balance of economic power between the U.S. and China. The conventional wisdom is that China's economic power is very close to America's and that Washington cannot undertake a broad economic cutoff of China without hurting itself as much or more. This book demonstrates the conventional wisdom is wrong on both fronts. In peacetime, America's lead in economic power over China is more dramatic than commonly appreciated because the vast majority of the firms that drive global commerce, particularly in high-technology sectors, are based in the U.S. and its allies. China's economic capacity has also been overestimated because Beijing manipulates its economic data and because comparing China's uniquely structured economy with other leading economies is challenging. These facts are necessary to understand why Washington has been able to target and undermine individual Chinese companies and even entire sectors in recent years while facing so little retaliation from Beijing. America's advantage in economic power over China would be even more marked in wartime. Our analysis indicates Washington could impose massive, disproportionate harm on Beijing if it were to impose a broad economic cutoff of China in cooperation with its allies or via a distant naval blockade. Across six scenarios, China's short-term economic losses from a broad cutoff range from being 5 to 11 times higher than America's. And in the long run, America and almost all its allies would return to previous economic growth levels; in contrast, China's growth would be permanently degraded Learn more about your ad choices.

Dr Boyce talks about Shannon Sharpe, Marcus Garvey and more

After the 2008 financial crisis, and especially after the COVID pandemic of 2020, an increasing number of Americans are questioning the wisdom of unregulated markets and envisioning a more active role for the state. Scholars have coined a panoply of neologisms to capture this view of the political economy, including political scientist Kenneth Vogel's “marketcraft.” The term indicates that the state not only lays the foundation for markets through the protection of the rule of law and property rights, but it also shapes market economies through policy interventions and regulatory institutions like the Federal Trade Commission.Chris Hughes' new book, “Marketcrafters: The 100-Year Struggle to Shape the American Economy,” traces how governments led by both major parties have worked with the private sector since the country's founding to intentionally and strategically shape markets. The narrative reveals how Adam Smith's proverbial “invisible” hand has always been rather quite visible.Hughes is a co-founder of Facebook who left the company in 2007 to work for former President Barack Obama and is now completing his PhD at the University of Pennsylvania's Wharton School. Hughes joins Bethany and Luigi to discuss the government's historical role, both in success and failure, of marketcrafting to rebalance economic power and create fairer and more efficient markets. Their journey takes us from the creation of the Federal Reserve in 1913 in response to a series of banking failures to recent mass investment in the semiconductor industry. Together, they discuss how to stop marketcrafting from becoming a victim of the political process, how it is operationalized differently in times of normalcy versus times of crisis, and how it must navigate the limits of individual and institutional power. Finally, they also discuss whether it is truly possible to craft markets in advance or only to correct market flaws after a crisis, with Hughes' own prior stomping grounds at Facebook as their case study.Read an excerpt of the book on ProMarket here.

Hosts: Taylor Morgan and Rusty Cannon  Tariffs have been ever-present in everyone's minds over the past several weeks. Here locally, Utah Governor Spencer Cox is telling state agencies to make plans for a possible recession as a result of the tariffs. And now China is positioning itself it be the source of economic "stability and certainty." All of this comes while President Trump seeks to bring countries to the bargaining table as he tries to fix what he calls a trade imbalance. 

Beyond democratic freedoms, what factors into how Black Americans thrive socially and economically? It’s a theme that’s explored in the new book, “BLACK POWER SCORECARD: Measuring the Racial Gap and What We Can Do to Close It.” The book’s author, Professor Andre M. Perry is a nationally recognized expert on race, structural inequality, economic inclusion, and education. In his book, he studies the life expectancy for Black Americans across multiple cities. He also rates their power based on quality and access to property, business, wealth, education, health, and social mobility. Perry talks more about how each of these factors are linked to the social and economic power of Black People.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

On this episode of The People's Podcast, we're joined by Jameel E. Shabazz — entrepreneur, small business owner, and a strong advocate for self-sufficiency and ownership. Our conversation dives deep into the realities and challenges of fatherless homes, the impact of social conditioning, and the role economics play in shaping our communities. Jameel shares his personal perspective and offers insight on how we can empower ourselves and each other through accountability, knowledge, and economic independence. Fatherless homes have significant social and economic implications. Children raised without fathers are more susceptible to mental health issues, behavioral disorders, and academic challenges. Economically, these households often face higher poverty rates. Key Statistics: •Mental Health and Behavioral Issues: •Children from fatherless homes are five times more likely to commit suicide. •They are 20 times more likely to have behavioral disorders. •They are 14 times more likely to commit rape. •They are nine times more likely to drop out of high school. •They are 20 times more likely to end up in prison. •Educational Challenges: •Fatherless children are twice as likely to drop out of school. •Children with involved fathers are 40% less likely to repeat a grade and 70% less likely to drop out. •They are more likely to achieve academic success and engage in extracurricular activities. •Economic Impact: •Children in father-absent homes are almost four times more likely to be poor. Short Story: “The Unseen Struggle” In the heart of a bustling city, Malik, a bright-eyed 12-year-old, navigated life without his father. His mother, working two jobs, provided for their modest apartment but couldn't always be there for him. Malik often felt a void, a longing for guidance he couldn't name. At school, Malik's grades began to slip. He found it hard to concentrate, his mind wandering to questions about his father he dared not ask. His teachers noticed his withdrawn demeanor and declining performance. One afternoon, Malik's school counselor, Ms. Thompson, invited him to her office. She spoke gently, asking about his interests and dreams. Through their conversations, Malik discovered a passion for art, a talent he had never explored. Ms. Thompson encouraged him to join the school's art club, providing him with materials and support. As Malik immersed himself in art, he found an outlet for his emotions. His grades improved, and he began to smile more. While the absence of his father remained a silent ache, Malik learned that with support and self-discovery, he could navigate the challenges life presented. This story underscores the resilience of children facing adversity and the profound impact of mentorship and community support in their lives.

In this episode, Matt and Doug discuss the broader implications of Trump's economic plan, including his focus on tariffs and national security. They dive into whether national security threats are real or a governmental construct and analyze the underlying motivations behind Trump's economic strategies and defense spending. Doug calls into question the efficacy and real purpose of the tariffs and the trillion-dollar defense budget, suggesting that these moves might be aimed at countering China's growing economic power. They also explore the potential global consequences of these policies, including a possible lead-up to World War III, and highlight the current state of the stock and bond markets, gold prices, and the potential for a mining boom. Throughout, they put forth a call to action for listeners to review their personal financial positions, particularly in terms of gold and silver investments, amidst the evolving global economic landscape. 00:00 Introduction and Overview 00:08 The Trump Economic Plan and Tariffs 00:50 National Security Debate 03:23 Defense Spending and Priorities 04:32 China's Economic Power 05:27 US Manufacturing Challenges 07:48 Tariffs and Trade Deficits 08:52 Global Trade Dynamics 10:45 US Foreign Policy and Military Actions 17:16 Ukraine Conflict and US Involvement 22:32 Impact of Drone Strikes on Russia 25:06 The Trump Regime and Anti-Woke Sentiments 27:13 Impact of Tariffs on Manufacturing 29:01 Liberation Day and Economic Consequences 34:27 Stock Market and Investment Strategies 36:00 Gold and Financial Chaos 41:40 National Security and Global Order 44:29 Final Thoughts and Viewer Engagement

In times of uncertainty, leadership is key...but so is vision. As the climate crisis deepens, and people across the world are facing economic hardship and experiencing the increasing impacts of the climate crisis, mapping out an alternative to neoliberal economics, inequality and unmitigated climate breakdown has never been more vital. In our season opener, we speak to two women who are doing just that. Mayor Yvonne Aki-Sawyerr of Freetown is using an innovative, inclusive and data-driven approach to addressing the challenges her city faces, and is a powerful advocate for unlocking urban climate finance. Gaya Herrington is one of the world's leading voices in the wellbeing economics space, using her platform to argue for the transformation of our economic system away from unsustainable growth to one that prioritizes human and planetary wellbeing. Featured guests:Mayor Yvonne Aki-Sawyerr has served as the Mayor of Freetown, Sierra Leone, since 2018. She is also the Co-Chair of C40 Cities. Gaya Herrington is sustainability researcher, wellbeing economist, thought leader and author of “Five Insights for Avoiding Global Collapse”.Links:What happened at the U20 Summit in Rio?

For over a century, the Panama Canal has been a vital artery of global trade and a symbol of U.S. economic dominance. But in 2025, it's back in the headlines—Donald Trump is calling to reclaim it, and BlackRock has just acquired key ports on either side of the canal. This episode unpacks the history of U.S. control, why BlackRock is making moves, and how China fits into this high-stakes geopolitical battle. From trade wars to strategic assets like Greenland, we explore why control over shipping routes is more critical than ever.***The content of the video is for general and informational purposes only.

At the Mar-A-Lago conference in February 2025, Christian Briggs delivers a hard-hitting analysis of the growing threat posed by BRICS and its impact on the U.S. economy. With the dollar's dominance slipping—dropping from 90% of global transactions to just 49%—and gold poised to become the world's top reserve asset, America faces an economic crisis like never before. Briggs, who has spent years advising Congress and intelligence agencies, reveals how weak leadership under Obama and Biden has allowed BRICS to accelerate, undermining the U.S. dollar and pushing global commodities away from American influence. With Trump back in power, the focus is on breaking up BRICS, reinstating the dollar as the world's top reserve currency, and using tariffs to rebuild U.S. manufacturing. Will America reclaim its economic throne, or are we on the brink of financial disaster? Get the full breakdown in an upcoming congressional report—stay tuned!

As we commence Black History Month 2025, I aim to discuss Dr. Claud Anderson's insights on Powernomics and acquire a physical copy of his book. He begins by questioning the level of sensitivity and concern for the Black community, asserting that the Black race faces an insurmountable economic predicament. He predicts that by 2013, Black Americans will be relegated to a permanent underclass. Furthermore, he critiques the federal government's repeated interventions on behalf of Black Americans and poses a thought-provoking question regarding the role of technology as an information highway, emphasizing the importance of what is being conveyed. This marks the first part of the episode, with a second installment forthcoming.

When this episode goes live four days from now, Donald Trump will have been sworn in as the 47th president of the United States, after having served as the 45th president from 2017 to 2021.Many countries around the world are closely watching to identify changes in US policy and assess their impact. China is one of those countries. As presidential candidate Donald Trump threatened to impose 60% tariffs on Chinese goods imported into the United States. He also proposed revoking China's Most Favored Nation trading status and banning China from buying US farmland. He pledged to curtail Chinese espionage and theft of intellectual property. On some occasions Trump praised Chinese leader Xi Jinping, and predicted that they would get along very well. In the past few months, Trump and Xi have been in communication through their representatives.What approach will Beijing take toward Trump's presidency this time around? Is China in a stronger or weaker position than it was in during Trump's first term? What is the likely trajectory of US-China relations in the coming four years?To discuss these questions, host Bonnie Glaser is joined by Dr. Evan Medeiros, who is the Penner Family Chair in Asia Studies in the School of Foreign Service and the Cling Family Distinguished Fellow in US-China Studies at Georgetown University. He served seven years in President Obama's NSC first as director for China, Taiwan and Mongolia, and then as Special Assistant to the President and Senior Director for Asia.  Timestamps[00:00] Start[02:00] Lessons Beijing Learned from Trump's First Term [04:11] Perceptions on the Balance of Economic Power [07:30] China's Reaction to American Tariffs[09:39] China Hurting the United States without Hurting Itself[11:48] Starting Anew with the Trump Administration [13:38] An Early US-China Meeting[16:46] An Inverse Bilateral Relationship [18:56] China Helping with the War in Ukraine[25:18] Chinese Use of Force Against Taiwan [29:22] US Alliances Under the Trump Administration[35:00] What worries Evan Medeiros in the US-China relationship? 

We explore today's seismic changes in media and society, by tracing historical parallels between James Joyce's The Dead (1907) and today's digital age. Joyce's observations on in The Dead about generational divides, the rise of newspapers, and societal shifts echo loudly in 2025, as new gatekeepers like Musk, Zuckerberg, and Bezos wield unprecedented influence over the flow of information. How did media transform from a tool of advertisement to the battleground for ideas? What can we learn from Joyce's depiction of societal upheaval in 1907 as we navigate the tribalism and cultural revolutions of today? Join us from a snowy Ireland - as it was in The Dead - while we unpack history's lessons, from the industrial age's middle-class explosion to the rise of modernism and today's chaotic digital landscape. Are we witnessing a similar hinge moment, and what does it mean for the future? Join the gang! https://plus.acast.com/s/the-david-mcwilliams-podcast. Hosted on Acast.
