IL39: Is Trump Making Europe Great Again? ft. Koen De Leus & Philippe Gijsels
Top Traders Unplugged
Intro
This chapter explores the positive effects of Trump's presidency on Europe and the ensuing call for reform. It also introduces a guest speaker who discusses investment strategies in light of historical trends and their implications for the global economy.
We're diving deep into some serious discussions about the shifting dynamics in Europe, particularly how the political landscape, especially with Trump's influence, is shaking things up. Economists Koen De Leus & Philippe Gijsels who authored a compelling book on the New World Economy, argue that Trump's policies might actually be a wake-up call for Europe, pushing it to innovate and stand on its own. We explore the concept of multi-globalization, where emerging markets are stepping into the spotlight as global trade partners, and how the geopolitical climate is driving this change. We also touch on the implications of these shifts for global markets and the economy, especially in terms of energy and raw materials. It's a thought-provoking chat that challenges our views on dependency and the future of Europe in a rapidly changing world.
