What is driving the global shift towards economic protectionism? Will Bain is joined by Jennifer Pak, NPR’s China correspondent, and Trevor Simumba, an international business consultant in Zambia, to discuss why the trend has accelerated since Donald Trump’s tariffs and why global trade remains resilient despite growing barriers. Plus, why Africa’s Lobito Corridor matters for trade, what AI means for jobs in China and beyond, and why drinks giant Diageo is cutting costs. And, two food heroes: China’s baozi and Uganda’s matoke.
