Sarah Bowerly-Danzman

Joining the discussion is Sarah Bowerly-Danzman, a political economist and former CFIUS case officer. The conversation dives into the hotly debated acquisition of U.S. Steel by Japan's Nippon Steel, especially the implications of the ‘golden share’—a rare control mechanism allowing government oversight. Sarah unpacks the historical context of golden shares, weighing their potential benefits for attracting foreign investment against concerns of government overreach. It’s a lively examination of the intersection between national security and economic interests.
