The End of the World?
What businesses need to know about the future of globalization
Is globalization dead? After decades in which the world became ever more interconnected - delivering unprecedented growth and an astonishing rise in human living standards - experts agree that world trade is buckling under the pressure of populist discontent and geopolitical fragmentation.
But there are reasons for optimism. By following the epic evolution of global trade, from its ancient origins to today’s technology-enabled flows of goods, money, and ideas, Karl will explore how one of humanity’s greatest accomplishments might yet defy its critics to emerge stronger than ever - creating unparalleled opportunities for businesses with the willingness to take risk and manage uncertainty.
