Small, Medium, Large: How Government Made the U.S. into a Manufacturing Powerhouse, published by Polity Books in 2024, offers a bold reinterpretation of American industrial history. Challenging the myth of free-market supremacy, the book reveals how strategic state intervention—from wartime production to Cold War R&D—shaped the rise of U.S. manufacturing. It highlights the role of public investment, procurement, and policy in scaling firms and fostering innovation. Timely and incisive, this is essential reading for anyone interested in rethinking industrial strategy, reshoring production, or understanding how the state can drive economic transformation in an age of geopolitical and technological change.

Guerre commerciale : Trump frappe, la Chine contre-attaque en silence

Ce mercredi 2 avril, Donald Trump célèbre son "Liberation day" : ce jour de libération où il va taxer la terre entière. Mais ce n'est pas tant une libération qu'une revanche assumée contre le monde entier, déguisée en politique commerciale. Après les défaites électorales, la disgrâce judiciaire et la tentative d'assassinat, il revient d'entre les morts pour régler ses comptes. Trump impose des tarifs douaniers massifs, menace les pays qu'il qualifie de "profiteurs" et parle de réciprocité totale. Mais le ton est celui d'un règlement de comptes global. Ce faisant, Trump voulait frapper la Chine, mais il lui ouvre en réalité une autoroute. Pendant que les États-Unis insultent leurs alliés, la Chine renforce ses partenariats. Ces derniers mois ont donné l'illusion d'une Chine un peu à la peine, avec une croissance de seulement 5 %, une crise immobilière, une consommation plutôt atone et un chômage élevé des jeunes. Mais la Chine ne vit pas à l'heure du court terme occidental. Elle s'inscrit dans une autre temporalité. Et là où Trump construit sa revanche en 100 jours, Xi Jinping pense en décennies. Pendant que Trump agite ses épées tarifaires, Pékin aiguise ses lames industrielles. L'un joue la revanche, l'autre joue l'histoire. Et c'est toute la différence.

Martin Wolf is one of the most prominent voices in the world of politics and economics of our times. In an era of inequality, political polarisation, and global power shifts, he asks the uncomfortable questions: Has capitalism betrayed democracy? Is rising authoritarianism a failure of the market—or the system itself? And most importantly, can we turn the tide before it's too late?

After decades of double-digit growth, China's economy has been expanding at less than half that since the pandemic. A property market crash, youth unemployment and now a trade war with the US are all adding to the country's woes. So has the Chinese juggernaut finally run out of gas?

The world economy is emitting carbon dioxide faster than ever before, meaning our planet is heating up faster than ever before. Martin Wolf speaks to someone who has spent much of the past two decades at the forefront of the climate debate. Lord Adair Turner chairs the Energy Transitions Commission, a think-tank focused on climate mitigation, and was previously the first chair of the UK government's committee on climate change in 2008-12. While he fears that US President Donald Trump will act as a drag anchor on international progress in cutting emissions, he believes the EU and China can strike a deal to help the whole world transition to cheap renewable energy.Martin Wolf is chief economics commentator at the Financial Times.

Donald Trump's tariffs are a twentieth century tool that simply won't work in the 21st century global trading system. That's the view of today's guest, Richard Baldwin, professor of international economics at the IMD Business School in Lausanne, Switzerland. Speaking to the FT's Martin Wolf, Baldwin explains how the shift towards global manufacturing supply chains since the 1990s, and the more recent explosion in digital services exports, mean that the impact of across-the-board import taxes such as the ones proposed by the new US administration will be counterproductive and much more limited than in the past. Nonetheless, should we still worry about the harm that Trump's policies may be doing to the global trading system, and how should other countries respond?Martin Wolf is chief economics commentator at the Financial Times.

India is the world's most populous nation, and since the 1990s it has maintained almost Chinese levels of rapid economic growth. Prime Minister Narendra Modi aims to make India a high income country and, by implication, an economic superpower by 2047. But is that achievable? This week's guest, Arvind Subramanian, is a former chief economic adviser to Modi's government. He is sceptical that the necessary growth rate can be sustained. Instead, he tells Martin Wolf how he thinks the government has scared off the necessary business investment, and how a serious miscalculation by the country's central bank may be about to plunge India into a currency crisis.Martin Wolf is chief economics commentator at the Financial Times.

Increasingly elderly populations seen in countries such as Japan and Italy are set to become the norm everywhere in the coming decades. But will a more senior demographic make the cost of state pensions and healthcare unaffordable? And will it kill economic growth? Not necessarily so, according to today's guest, Andrew J Scott, professor of economics at the London Business School. He believes that the rapidly growing cohort of over-65s is something to celebrate. But he also warns that we need to radically rethink many of the policies that delivered this widespread longevity in the first place.

The Eurozone's economic recovery from Covid-19 has been anaemic compared with America's, despite achieving a soft landing from double-digit inflation. Indeed, Europe's relative underperformance stretches back even longer, perhaps 30 years, in terms of productivity and GDP growth. Christine Lagarde, president of the European Central Bank, gives her assessment of the past few turbulent years of monetary policy and explains what she thinks Europe needs to do next if it is to close the gap with the US. She also gives her view on how the EU can negotiate its way out from between the rock of the incoming Trump administration and the hard place of another Chinese export glut.Martin Wolf is chief economics commentator at the Financial Times.

Mass immigration is demographically essential but politically impossible – so argues Lant Pritchett, development economist and visiting professor at the London School of Economics. As populations age in the rich developed countries, immigrant workers will be needed to help with the burden of providing for the elderly. Removing the barriers might also be the quickest way to raise living standards for people in the developing world. But doing so would require swimming against a rising tide of anti-immigrant populism. Pritchett thinks he has a solution – allowing immigrants to come and work temporarily on strictly time-limited contracts. But does his idea stand up to scrutiny?Martin Wolf is chief economics commentator at the Financial Times.

Martin Wolf, chief economics commentator at the Financial Times, joins Nick and Goldy to discuss his new book, "The Crisis of Democratic Capitalism." They explore the important-yet-fragile connection between capitalism and democracy, particularly in the context of rising inequality and political instability. Wolf articulates how the perceived success of democratic capitalism has begun to falter under the onslaught of economic policies favoring the wealthy and eroding the middle class. Ultimately, Wolf advocates for stronger social safety nets to ensure that democratic systems, as well as working and middle-class families, can thrive in an era dominated by economic upheaval. Martin Wolf is the chief economics commentator at the Financial Times, known for his incisive analyses and authoritative perspectives on global economics and policy. With a distinguished career spanning several decades, Wolf has shaped public discourse on economic matters through his insightful columns and books.

This week on the show Fareed speaks to Vali Nasr, professor of Middle East Studies and International Affairs at Johns Hopkins University and Mina Al-Oraibi, editor-in-chief of The National, to discuss whether the U.S retaliatory attacks on pro-Iranian militia targets in Iraq and Syria are the start of America's entry into a broader war. Then, as Republicans continue to hold up aid to Ukraine, Fareed asks David Frum, staff writer at The Atlantic, why he considers this the GOP's great betrayal. Next, Financial Times chief economics commentator Martin Wolf tells Fareed why he believes China's economic miracle has ended and what the future holds. Finally, Fareed sits down with Shannon O'Neil, senior fellow for Latin America studies at the Council on Foreign Relations, to discuss Javier Milei's ascension to Argentina's presidency and his wild ideas to repair his country's economy.
