How global trade killed the liberal world order https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ptZs1l-RCq8 The United States, once hailed as the leader of the free world, is turning autocratic. While it`s easy to tie the shift specifically to Donald Trump, the conditions that enabled both his rise and that of other authoritarian leaders, have been developing for decades. The seeds of destruction lie in economic institutions established under a false assumption: that freer trade would lead to freer societies. This episode of Business Beyond examines the trend through the rise of China, the decline of US manufacturing, and the emergence of new regional groupings, like BRICS and ASEAN.
