About this listen
“I’m not one hundred per cent convinced it’s true we are living in this world of geopolitical chaos”
In this episode, Manas Chawla interviews Matt Peterson, Ideas Editor for Barron’s. The two embark on a timely exploration of 2024's key geopolitical risks and their economic ripple effects. Matt discusses his recent work on energy, particularly within the context of the US election, and examines the impact of a potential Trump presidency on the Ukraine conflict and climate agreements. Peterson also delves into the intricate relationship between rising insurance costs and climate spending before turning to the looming US debt crisis, which can no longer be wilfully ignored come November 2024. Ending on an optimistic note, Matt highlights the positive developments in renewable energy and the economy at large, acknowledging the potential disasters avoided along the way.
Matt Peterson is the Ideas Editor for Barron’s Group. He has previously held positions at the Atlantic, Eurasia Group, and Yale University building a wealth of experience in the economy, politics, and global affairs spanning over 15 years.
