Ben Chu: Exile Economics

Includes continental breakfast and a signed book.

Globalisation is under strain from the pandemic, energy crises, trade frictions and great power rivalry. In Exile Economics, Ben Chu explores the emerging vision of nations turning inward - rejecting interdependence, reducing multilateral collaboration and pursuing self-sufficiency. Examining globally traded commodities from silicon to soya beans, he reveals the intricate web that binds nations together and highlights the risks of isolationism. A vital guide to the promise and peril of this new economic order.

Chaired by Toby Lichtig.
