This week on Taking Stock Mandy Johnston talks to Martina Lawless of the ERSI about a possible looming trade war between the UK and The EU and what that might mean for Ireland. Author Bernard Marr talks about his latest book which has been named as Business Book of the year for 2022; ‘The 25+ Trends That Are Redefining Organisations’. And we hear about the Committee examining last year’s attack on the US Congress when Mandy is joined by Financial Time journalist Kiran Stacey from Washington to tell us about what has been happening and what does it all say about the state of American Democracy.
