COP27, the Latest on the Global Minimum Tax & Talking Davos Man with Peter S. Goodman of the New York Times

On this episode of Trade Splaining, hosts Ardian Mollabeciri and Robert Skidmore are joined by Peter S. Goodman, Global Economics Correspondent for the New York Times and author of Davos Man: How the Billionaires Devoured the World.

They talk about why he believes rising inequality and the concentration of wealth among billionaires has come not only at the expense of most of the world’s population but has not been by accident or natural result of “Globalization”, but rather a conscious push by “Davos Men”. We also talk about why he believes trade oftentimes incorrectly bears the brunt of this blame and carrys so many negative consequences.

Ardian and Rob also digest the latest news coming from COP27, Germany and Apples political and economic dilemma when it comes to China and the US, the OECDs Global Minimum Tax as well as big layoffs in the tech industry.

The co-hosts are also joined by TS producer Michelle Olguin as she also gives her thoughts on the vibe shift happening right under Boomers, Gen X....and even Millenial's noses.
