GoodFellows: Conversations on Economics, History & Geopolitics

The podcast explores the intersection of Trumpism and globalism, questioning whether Trump's policies disrupt or reconfigure the international order. The discussion highlights Trump's unconventional approach to global affairs, including tariffs and diplomatic tactics, and examines how European leaders respond to his policies. Panelists debate whether Trump's actions are a genuine threat to the transatlantic alliance or a catalyst for Europe to pursue strategic autonomy. The conversation shifts to domestic issues, analyzing the rise of populism and socialism in the United States, exemplified by New York City's new mayor. The panel also discusses the potential impact of AI on the job market, particularly for elite professions, and its broader implications for social and economic structures.
