CHAPTER

WTO, Tariffs, and Geopolitical Trade Dynamics

The chapter explores the role of the WTO in managing tariffs and global trade rules, emphasizing that it acts as an agreement among nations rather than a policing entity. Discussions delve into the implications of protectionist policies, the trend of trade alliances aligning with political regimes, and strategies to address China's excess savings, including weakening the dollar. The conversation also covers the potential impacts of de-dollarization on global trade, inflation, and the rise of alternative assets like Bitcoin.
