Pentagon Declassifies More UFO Files, Tune In NOW As Alex Jones Reviews Them! Plus, Contractor Says FBI Ordered Him To Quickly Coverup Charlie Kirk's Murder Scene

Global trade is the world economy's “hidden wiring:” Instead of trading finished goods, countries exchange product components and services, linking nations across the world through spread-out supply chain models. But this also means far-away economic shocks can now have a much greater impact on U.S. prices, jobs, and investment decisions. Risks like extreme weather events, geopolitical flare-ups, and cybersecurity threats are shaking up the international economic landscape – and could lead to greater isolation. What might that mean for the future of global trade?

Episode 5385: World Economy Shaken; Senate Defies President Trump

Europe's NATO members have pledged 3.5% of GDP to rearmament. The political argument is already about which social programmes will be sacrificed to pay for this, when the government chooses guns instead of butter. What does history tell us about what politicians will do?Christoph Trebesch and Johannes Marzian spent four years assembling the Global Budget Database: 150 years of primary government budget documents from 20 countries, with 116 identified military spending booms in peace and war. They find that governments almost never cut social spending when they rearm; they expand both military and welfare budgets simultaneously. The bill arrives later, as higher taxes. Top income rates typically rise by 10 to 15 percentage points in the decade following a military boom, funded mainly through broad-based income and value-added taxes. With rearmament underway, will history repeat itself?The research behind this episode:Marzian, Johannes, and Christoph Trebesch. 2026. "Guns and Butter: The Fiscal Consequences of Rearmament and War." CEPR Discussion Paper 21193. [Gated]To cite this episode:Phillips, Tim, and Christoph Trebesch. 2026. "Guns and Butter." VoxTalks Economics (podcast). Assign this as extra listening. The citation above is formatted and ready for a reading list or VLE.About the guestChristoph Trebesch is Director of the Research Center on International Finance at the Kiel Institute for the World Economy and Professor of Macroeconomics at Kiel University. His research spans sovereign debt, financial crises, China's role in global finance, the economics of populism, and the long-run fiscal history of military spending. He is a Research Fellow of the Centre for Economic Policy Research (CEPR). In 2024 he received the Hermann Heinrich Gossen Award, Germany's leading economics prize for economists under 45.Research cited in this episodeThe Global Budget Database is the primary dataset introduced in this paper. Marzian and Trebesch constructed it from primary archival sources, including national parliamentary budget documents, for 20 countries from 1870 to 2022. Unlike existing datasets that rely on planned rather than realised expenditures, it records what governments actually spent, broken down by ministry and purpose. The Switzerland case illustrates the stakes: standard sources record Swiss military spending at around 2% of GDP during the World Wars. The archival record shows actual spending reached 10% once off-budget items are included; five times the apparent figure.The Correlates of War (COW) Military Expenditures Dataset is one of the most widely used secondary-source datasets for historical military spending, maintained by the Correlates of War Project. Trebesch uses the Swiss case to illustrate the limitations of secondary-source data: the COW series misses off-budget military items that primary archival documents capture, producing a significantly distorted picture of wartime mobilisation in a number of countries.Credit booms methodology provided the template for identifying military spending booms. Trebesch and Marzian define a boom as an increase of at least 6.5 percentage points of military spending as a share of GDP over two consecutive years, ending when spending growth falls to zero. This approach, adapted from the literature on financial credit expansions and their economic consequences, allows systematic cross-country and cross-period identification without relying on retrospective classification alone. Each algorithmically flagged episode was then verified against historical sources.Local projections are the main statistical technique used to trace the long-run fiscal path following military booms. The method estimates how a variable (here, tax revenues and top income rates) evolves over time following an identified shock. It is well suited to the protracted dynamics Trebesch and Marzian observe: tax rates rising over a decade or more after a military buildup and, critically, not returning to pre-boom levels once the spending episode ends.Exogenous military shocks are the basis of the paper's causal identification strategy. To separate the fiscal effects of military spending from broader economic conditions, the authors distinguish episodes triggered by external geopolitical events from those driven by domestic factors. France's rearmament in the mid-1930s, forced by Nazi Germany's military expansion regardless of French domestic politics, is used as an example of an exogenous peacetime boom. Germany's own rearmament in the same period would not qualify as exogenous, since Germany initiated the shock. The same logic applies to wars: a country attacked faces an exogenous event; the attacker does not.More VoxTalks Economics episodesIn Can Europe Defend Itself?, featuring Moritz Schularick, Christoph's colleague from the Kiel Institute, we examine whether Europe has the industrial and strategic capacity to convert its rearmament commitment into credible deterrence, and what European rearmament could mean in practice. Related reading on VoxEUDefence spending: no free lunch, a VoxEU column arguing that increased military expenditure adds modestly to near-term economic activity while adding to fiscal pressure; lasting economic benefits from rearmament are far from guaranteed.Macroeconomic impacts of defence spending, a VoxEU column modelling the EU-wide effects of raising NATO members' defence spending to 5% of GDP by 2035; projected GDP gains are modest and come at the cost of higher debt-to-GDP ratios.Converging military spending and its fiscal consequences, a VoxEU column examining long-run trends in military expenditure across countries and the fiscal footprint they leave behind.The economic effects of military support for Ukraine: evidence from fiscal multipliers in donor countries, a VoxEU column finding that spending multipliers for military expenditure can exceed those for other categories of public spending.

Join RaboResearch Senior Market Strategist Ben Picton and Global Strategist Michael Every as they unpack the rapid changes that are underway in the global economic system. Mike takes us through his concept of "America Perestroika," whereby the United States under Donald Trump is seeking to shift from a consumption-based economy to a production-based economy with a national security overlay. We explore what these changes mean for the global economy, why it is happening, and where the challenges and opportunities may lay for commodity producers in New Zealand and Australia.

Ukraine has won time for Europe. A vast amount of time. But the price of this time has been tremendous. It is measured not in money, but in human lives. Dozens of towns and hundreds of villages have been destroyed. Occupied territories, occupied people, occupied lives—an occupied future. Europe helps, and it helps a lot. The Ukrainian economy would be in a far more difficult situation without European financial aid. Europe has also provided armaments and political support. Yet, many in Ukraine feel that the time we won for Europe is not being used properly—or is even being wasted. It seems Europe has yet to learn from the Ukrainian experience, our successes, and our mistakes. The continent remains far from becoming a true security union, and its defense industries still behave as if we are living in a time of peace—or as if they are preparing for the wars of the past, not the future. Is this diagnosis correct? And what must Europe do to respond to these challenges more effectively?

Ukraine has won time for Europe, but is Europe using this time properly? 03:59 - Is Europe's financial support for Ukraine growing, and why does its defense potential not match its perceived strength? 07:59 - What are the fundamental inefficiencies undermining Europe's significant defense spending? 11:59 - How can Europe "spend smarter" by leveraging its economic strengths in defense? 15:59 - How can Europe overcome national protectionism and unify its fragmented defense industry? The challenge is to move beyond expensive national procurement and "interoperability" to achieve true "interchangeability" and standardization across European militaries. 19:59 - Why is Europe's procurement process so slow, and how does it hinder adaptation to wartime needs? 23:59 - Can promoting horizontal cooperation and flexible funding overcome bureaucratic hurdles in European defense? Suggestions include establishing fast-track wartime procedures and promoting direct, horizontal relations between European startups and Ukrainian military units, possibly with flexible funds managed by private entities. 27:59 - What is the economic rationale for joint European defense financing through shared borrowing and assets? 31:59 - How has Russia financed its war effort, and what short-term mechanisms has it relied upon? 35:59 - What are the current vulnerabilities and long-term economic fragilities facing Russia's war economy?

In this episode of the National Crawford Roundtable podcast the guys review the latest events happening in the war with Iran--what is going on in the Strait of Hormuz? Will there be a deal with Iran that includes NO nuclear aspirations? They also discuss the Voting Rights Act and redistricting-what is "unconstitutional racial gerrymandering", and how does the recent SCOTUS ruling help or hurt the GOP? The guys also look into the "affordability issue"--the legacy media and Democrats are hammering this issue. Is Trump winning or losing on this issue? How will affordability, especially gas and grocery prices, affect him in the midterms?

SEND ME A TEXT MESSAGE NOWThe U.S. and Iran are trading shots near the Strait of Hormuz, and everyone's acting like this is just another headline. It's not. This is one of the most important choke points in the world, and when tensions rise here, it doesn't stay “over there.” It hits energy, markets, and eventually your wallet.At the same time, voter roll purges are being pushed right up against Election Day. Not months out. Not with time to fix mistakes. Right at the moment when people show up expecting to vote and could be told they're no longer on the list. That's not routine cleanup. That's timing with consequences.There's also a claim floating around that sounds simple on the surface, like something you've heard a hundred times before. The problem is, once you actually stop and think about it, it doesn't really hold up the way it's being presented.Then there's the reaction to Rudy Giuliani being in critical condition. Not just the headline, but how people are responding to it. It's not the kind of response you would've seen years ago, and that shift didn't happen by accident.And just to round it out, GameStop is trying to pull off a move that sounds bold until you look at the numbers. A company worth a fraction of its target trying to buy something four times its size. At some point you have to ask if this is strategy or something else.Different stories, same underlying problem. Decisions being made in plain view, with real consequences, and not a lot of concern about what happens next.This IS A World Gone MadAWorldGoneMadPodcast@gmail.com

There are basically two big things governments control that affect the economy and therefore all of us: spending and stability. They're not to be taken for granted, but too often they are. Romanians are going to bed right now, unsure of who will run their country. The Government's just lost a confidence vote. The socialists have sided with the far-right, of all groups, to collapse the Coalition. This is bad for their economy because business relies on stability and predictability. Their absence kneecaps investment decisions and therefore growth. It's the same reason investors are jittery in the UK. Long-term bond yields are the highest they've been since 1998. Why? Because Starmer is going to get a hiding in local elections. His replacement, either Angela Rayner or even the outsider Andy Burnham, are left of him and that could mean more spending and borrowing. Something markets, unsurprisingly, think the motherland can ill-afford at present. Which brings us neatly to spending - look no further than across the Tasman. The RBA yesterday hiked the cash rate, pushing mortgage costs up, for the third time this year. And it comes with a warning to Jim Chalmers, their Nicola Willis equivalent and her jogging buddy in DC, watch your spending cobber or you'll make this worse. Too much spending is fuel on the fire, and the fire is burning, heading for 5%. Pretty much every economist there, including our mate Paul Bloxham (Rockstar economist), says the key risk to Aussies right now is the threat a budget —due Tuesday— bazookas the cash more than expected. That could force rates even higher and Australians would get poorer. All of this is to say there are plenty of lessons around the world, just in the last 12 hours, let alone modern history, that say politicians' main job is basically to be responsible. Get along with one another. And don't be tempted to buy votes with cash you can't afford in the short-term that we all pay for in the long-term.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

The US-Israeli war on Iran has caused the largest oil supply shock in history, according to the International Energy Agency (IEA). Ben Norton explains how the attacks by Trump and Netanyahu, and the ensuing blockade of the Strait of Hormuz, have unleashed an energy crisis that could destabilize the global economy.

It's almost two months since the United States and Israel went to war with Iran. And in spite of a ceasefire the vital Strait of Hormuz through which 20 per cent of the world's oil and liquefied natural gas passes on tankers, is still effectively closed. The oil price remains high, affecting economies around the world. The most recent assessment from the International Monetary Fund warned that the war could throw the world economy “off course” and a prolongued conflict risked causing a global recession. David Aaronovitch asks what this means for us now and whether an end to the conflict could re-set the world's economies or have conditions changed for good?Guests: Joseph Stiglitz, American economist and recipient of the Nobel Memorial Prize in Economic Sciences and Professor at Columbia University Duncan Weldon, author and economist Diana Choyleva, economist and founder of Enodo Economics.

How will this affect Trump, the midterms, the World economy and National Security if one or all don't happen?

Crude oil prices rose again on Thursday as the ceasefire announced by US President Donald Trump and Iran shows signs of fragility. In this edition, we speak with Ilian Mihov, Professor of Economics at INSEAD, about whether the war and the resulting oil shock could trigger a global recession. He explains that supply shortages can affect economic activity more than price hikes and outlines the delicate calculations central banks will have to make.

Panel warns a massive oil supply shock could trigger global collapse, forcing nations to dump U.S. assets and sending rates soaring. With energy shortages spreading, this debate breaks down how quickly markets, economies, and global stability could unravel

Vast sums of money was traded before President Trump's now famous attempt to announce an Iran peace deal on Monday. The speculation was that those with prior knowledge had capitalised by insider trading. Today we're joined by Nobel Prize winning economist Paul Krugman to explain why this sounds highly plausible, and why there's no ethics investigation even if it's true.

Trump Surrenders to Iran? - Strikes Stop for 5 Days | World Economy | Vibhuti Jha, Gen Sudhakar Jee

China became the world's largest bilateral creditor to developing countries over two decades, and for most of that time the scale of what it was doing was effectively a state secret. Its state-owned banks lent close to $1 trillion to developing-country governments, structured roughly half those loans against commodity export revenues held in offshore accounts, and concentrated the riskiest lending in countries such as Venezuela, Angola, and Russia. Net financial flows turned negative in 2019, and the countries that borrowed now repay more to China than they receive in new lending.Sebastian Horn of the Kiel Institute tells Tim Phillips that despite the opacity and the distinctive collateral structures, we've seen this movie before, in the 1920s and 1980s: in the bust, serial short-term extensions of grace periods that defer payments without resolving the underlying debt, while affected countries cut spending to stay current. What Horn calls a "silent crisis" is underway in a cluster of highly indebted developing countries, too small to trigger global contagion but large enough to matter profoundly for the people living through it.The challenge is whether China's lenders, debtor governments, and the broader international financial architecture can coordinate the kind of relief that will make a difference.The research behind this episode:Horn, Sebastian, Carmen M.

Hour two of Larry Conners USA: RUMBLE: https://rumble.com/c/c-1568182 WEBSITE: https://www.larryconnersusa.com/ FACEBOOK: https://www.facebook.com/larryconnersusa NEWSTALK STL: https://newstalkstl.com/larry/ The post Iran Is Desperately Trying To Hold World Economy Hostage /7p 3.12.2026 appeared first on Larry Conners USA.

As the conflict in the Gulf continues, energy prices have risen sharply. Chris Holdsworth Chief Investment Strategist, at Investec Wealth & Investment International, examines the impact on global inflation and growth, as well as on President Donald Trump's popularity ahead of the US midterm elections later this year. Investec Focus Radio SA

For a Prime Minister obsessed with driving down the cost of living, the ongoing conflict in the Middle East is shaping up to be something of a nightmare. Oil prices have surged, the Bank of England is now expected to raise, rather than cut, interest rates, and the AA is telling drivers to consider cutting down on non-essential journeys due to the price of the pumps.The war has shown no sign of winding up - indeed over the weekend Donald Trump seemed to leave open the idea that it could last more than six weeks. Remarkably, his press secretary failed to rule out a return of the draft, not seen in America since the Vietnam war. Why? Because the desired endgame for the Trump administration is still very difficult to see. A new Supreme Leader has been installed and appears to be as hardline as his predecessor father. Iranian missiles are still raining down on the region. And if gas prices continue to squeeze Americans, could Trump find himself blinking first?Later, Tony Blair's off the record remarks about Keir Starmer became very much on the record after his criticisms of the current Prime Minister's resistance to joining the US efforts in Iran made their way into the press. Jon and Lewis discuss why Downing Street is unlikely to be losing any sleep from the advice being dished out by its former occupant.The News Agents is brought to you by HSBC UK - https://www.hsbc.co.uk/

Despite headwinds from US tariffs and Chinese competition, the European Bank for Reconstruction and Development's latest report shows stronger-than-expected GDP growth, particularly in sub-Saharan Africa as decelerating inflation boosts consumer spending power. In Business, we spoke to the report's lead author, EBRD chief economist Beata Javorcik.

You've heard me say it numerous times. Energy is the economy. If you don't believe me, just look at Cuba. The country is being starved for oil and the country is unable to function. At first it was just the United States imposing sanctions on countries that it sees as violating international law. That includes Russia, Venezuela, Iran, North Korea, and certainly a few others. But those sanctions have been largely paper exercises involving money and financial instruments. It's only when a physical blockade of oil tankers severed energy trade routes that we started to see a real tangible impact. Other countries have joined in and impounded vessels that were carrying sanctioned oil. When it comes to global oil prices, the usual metrics of supply and demand seem to rule the day. The measure surplus or shortage is based on inventories consisting of tank storage and “oil on the water” which is oil in the hold of a ship. But what about the dark fleet that doesn't report its inventories? They are called “dark" because they turn off their AIS transponders which allows for position tracking. They participate in ship-to-ship (STS) transfers in international waters, and these ships frequently change country of registration to make tracking more difficult.That is how a “shipping problem” becomes an “oil price problem,” even when there is plenty of crude in the ground.An oil tanker crunch is coming. New ships are not being built fast enough and these older ships are going to be very difficult to bring back into good standing with the world's major insurers. We could see a global oil shortage because of a shortage of insurable ships. --------------**Real Estate Espresso Podcast:** Spotify: [The Real Estate Espresso Podcast](https://open.spotify.com/show/3GvtwRmTq4r3es8cbw8jW0?si=c75ea506a6694ef1)   iTunes: [The Real Estate Espresso Podcast](https://podcasts.apple.com/ca/podcast/the-real-estate-espresso-podcast/id1340482613)   Website: [www.victorjm.com](http://www.victorjm.com)   LinkedIn: [Victor Menasce](http://www.linkedin.com/in/vmenasce)   YouTube: [The Real Estate Espresso Podcast](http://www.youtube.com/@victorjmenasce6734)   Facebook: [www.facebook.com/realestateespresso](http://www.facebook.com/realestateespresso)   Email: [podcast@victorjm.com](mailto:podcast@victorjm.com)  **Y Street Capital:** Website: [www.ystreetcapital.com](http://www.ystreetcapital.com)   Facebook: [www.facebook.com/YStreetCapital](https://www.facebook.com/YStreetCapital)   Instagram: [@ystreetcapital](http://www.instagram.com/ystreetcapital)

“We are in the midst of a rupture, not a transition,” Prime Minister Mark Carney of Canada announced last week at the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland.It was one of the most significant foreign policy speeches in years, sending shockwaves through the international community. He was describing a dynamic that's been building for decades — what the scholars Henry Farrell and Abraham Newman call “weaponized interdependence” — that has now reached a tipping point.I asked Farrell on the show to explain this dynamic, why this is a “rupture” moment and how other countries are responding. He is an international-affairs professor at Johns Hopkins University, is an author of the book “Underground Empire: How America Weaponized the World Economy” and writes an excellent Substack, Programmable Mutter.Note: This episode touches on the clashes over immigration enforcement in Minneapolis and the killing of Renee Good, but it was recorded on Friday, before the killing of Alex Pretti.Mentioned:“Davos 2026: Special address by Mark Carney, Prime Minister of Canada”Underground Empire by Henry Farrell and Abraham Newman“Programmable Mutter” by Henry Farrell“The nature and sources of liberal international order” by Daniel Deudney and G.

How did one economist cause the 2008 financial crisis, get hired to fix it, protect his corrupt mate whilst Harvard paid millions in settlements, suggest women might be genetically inferior at science, and still remain one of the most powerful figures in American economics for decades?In this episode of History's Greatest Idiots, we explore the spectacular career of Lawrence Henry Summers, the man who failed upwards for nearly five decades, leaving economic destruction, hurt feelings, and dodgy friendships in his wake. This is the story of how brilliant people can be catastrophically wrong about everything whilst sounding extremely clever, and how it all came crashing down in November 2025 when emails revealed he'd been using a high-profile buddy as his personal dating coach.Part one of this epic two-part series covers Larry's rise from golden child to economic disaster architect.The Golden Child: How Larry was born into economics royalty (both parents were economics professors, two uncles won Nobel Prizes) The three-year-old who argued with everyone and drove his mother crazy Writing to his Nobel Prize-winning uncle at age 13 to solve maths problems (the audacity!) Skipping grades, enrolling at MIT at 16, and becoming one of Harvard's youngest tenured professors at 28 Winning every major economics award before age 40 (perhaps a bit too confident)The Clinton Years: How to Deregulate an Economy and Call It Progress: The infamous 1991 "toxic memo" suggesting dumping pollution on poor countries (economics or eugenics with dollar signs?) Championing the repeal of Glass-Steagall in 1999, removing Depression-era banking protections Crushing Brooksley Born's attempts to regulate financial derivatives Pushing through the Commodity Futures Modernization Act, banning regulation of derivatives (what could go wrong?) His fundamental disagreements with Nobel laureate Joseph Stiglitz, who was actually correct about regulation The Russia disaster: "shock therapy" privatization that created oligarchs, sent poverty from 2% to 40%, and caused a 43% increase in male death rates Why Summers, like most economists, only thought five years ahead instead of 15, 20, or 30 yearsLarry Goes to Harvard (And Everything Goes Wrong Again): Becoming Harvard's 27th President in 2001 and lasting exactly five years (one of the shortest tenures in modern history) The Cornel West affair: calling a renowned philosopher's hip-hop album an "embarrassment" and sparking an exodus to Princeton The Andrei Shleifer scandal: protecting his corrupt protégé from the Russia privatization disaster whilst Harvard paid a record $26.5 million settlement January 2005: suggesting women are underrepresented in science because they don't want to work hard enough and might be genetically inferior (listing discrimination third) MIT biologist Nancy Hopkins feeling physically ill and walking out of his speech The faculty vote of no confidence (218 to 185) and his eventual resignation in February 2006 Why being the smartest person in the room means you should be able to read the bloody roomThis is only part one. In part two, Larry gets to witness the worldwide economic collapse caused by his deregulation policies, gets parachuted in by Obama to help fix the problems he created, and we reveal the massive 2025 scandal that ultimately ruined his already damaged legacy.⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.patreon.com/HistorysGreatestIdiots⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.instagram.com/historysgreatestidiots⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://buymeacoffee.com/historysgreatestidiots⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Artist: Sarah Chey⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.fiverr.com/sarahchey⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠

The Cold War Cinema team returns to discuss Grigory Chukhray's 1959 war drama Ballad of a Soldier.  Alyhosha is 19-years-old private on the Eastern Front during the Great Patriotic War (A.K.A. World War II). After destroying two German tanks, Alyosha, played by Vladimir Ivashov, is rewarded with a short leave to return home to see his mother and repair her roof. Over the next six days, the young soldier travels home across the countryside, often crossing paths with his countrymen in both mundane and profound ways: A one-legged soldier running from his wife, the wife of another private, found living with another man, and a tender vagabond girl, Shura (Zhanna Prokhorenko), who he meets while hiding out in a rail car. Throughout his quiet picaresque, Alyhosha learns about the sacrifices and tenderness of a nation torn apart by war. Join hosts Jason Christian, Tony Ballas, and Paul T. Klein as we discuss:  The film's treatment of individualism versus collective responsibility.  The train as a metaphor in both the Soviet and US contexts.  The Soviet romance versus Hollywood romances.  The Soviet treatment of nature and rural spaces in this film and others.  _____________________ We love to give book or film recommendations on the podcast, so here are ours for this episode:  Paul recommends the film The Best Years of Our Lives (1946, William A. Wyler) and the book The Foreign Film Renaissance on American Screens 1946–1973 by Tony Balio. Tony recommends the book Peasants and Capital: Dominica in the World Economy by Michel-Rolph Trouillot Jason recommends the film The Forty-First (1956, Grigory Chukhray). _____________________ Like and subscribe to Cold War Cinema, and don't forget to leave us a review!

Economic sanctions are the big geoeconomic bazooka. But what does history tell us about how well they work, and their relevance today. And does the theory match the data? Moritz Schularick of the Kiel Institute for the World Economy and CEPR talks to Tim Phillips about the evidence of the history of sanctions on what they can achieve, whether we expect too much too soon from small sanctions – and whether politicians are prepared to impose the sanctions that bite.

Chinese Premier Li Qiang has urged the Group of 20 economies to stay committed to solidarity, firmly uphold free trade and build an open world economy in the face of a sluggish global economic recovery.
