Globalization: Trade, Trump, Brexit, and the Great Convergence with Richard Baldwin

We cover a lot of ground in this episode, beginning with a discussion about the history of globalization and how it’s ebbed and flowed over time. We also talk mercantilism, Trump’s trade policy, the rapid growth of China, and Richard’s globalization theory, the Great Convergence. Richard and I also talk about the state of Brexit and what’s likely to happen economically in Britain’s near future.
