Podcast | [SPECIAL] Trade War 2.0: Towards a new global order?

In this special episode of “Be finance”, we explore the new trade war and its profound economic, political, and strategic implications.

We start with an introduction to the key concepts: tariffs and trade deficit, and then ask ourselves whether we are facing a simple change of cycle or a change of geoeconomic paradigm.

Together with Josep Ramon Aixelà, head of macroeconomics of financial markets at the Institute of Financial Studies and the Barcelona Finance School, we analyze the role of the media in the dominant narrative, the effects on the economy, and the responses of key players such as China and the EU.

We also delve into how trade wars intertwine with currency wars, possible dedollarization, the rise of bitcoin, and the strategic use of raw materials and safe-haven assets.

From game theory applied to diplomacy (or lack thereof) to the role of Elon Musk, gold, and cryptoassets on the global board, this episode offers a provocative dialogue about the possible end of the world economic order as we know it.
