The Small Business Black Holes with Alan Pentz Confronting China's Economic Strategy: A New Global Order
Oct 22, 2024
45:29
The conversation delves deep into China's economic strategy and its implications for global trade. Pentz outlines how China's Communist Party views its mission through a historical lens, seeing the industrial revolution as a temporary aberration in China's central role in world history. They discuss how China's current economic model, focused on massive state investment and export-driven growth, is becoming unsustainable for the global economy.
The discussion examines various policy responses, including tariffs, capital controls, and strategic realignment with allies. Pentz argues that the US needs to fundamentally rethink its approach to global trade and potentially implement capital controls rather than rely solely on tariffs. The conversation also touches on the role of Wall Street, Germany's export dependency, and the changing nature of US global leadership.
