Show Info: The World Business Academy is a non-profit business think tank and network of business and thought leaders founded in 1986 with the mission to inspire and help business assume responsibility for the whole of society. Our monthly show focuses on the state of the political economy including trends we see emerging in markets and how our listeners can prepare for them.
Ping-ponging markets and loose talk of military conflict are the latest manifestation of an increasingly uncertain global situation rife with risk and opportunity. While the latest tax bill has lightened the load on the upper echelons of corporate America, the burden has been passed off to the middle and lower classes. The blatant corporate kleptocracy and the ever-growing economic disparity in the US has sparked a recent rise in class consciousness. Rinaldo and Matt cover the instability and volatility within the US economy, and how investing in the lower and middle classes could change the ‘trickle-down’ mindset and rebuild our economy. Tune in as we run through some of the biggest socioeconomic issues and end with thoughts on how individuals can protect themselves in these times.
