For several decades economists, business gurus and politicians have been talking about globalization like it is here to stay. But Mike O’Sullivan is convinced that while it raised the quality of life for many around the world, it has worn itself out, and he has a strong idea of what comes next.
Who is Mike O’Sullivan? In his own words: “I am the author of a book called The Levelling which points to what's next after globalization and puts forward constructive ideas as to how an increasingly fractured world can develop in a positive and constructive way. The book mixes economics, history, politics, finance and geopolitics. Markets are the best place to watch and test the way the world evolves. Most of my career has been spent in investment management, the last 12 years at Credit Suisse where I was the chief investment officer in the International Wealth Management Division. I started my career as an academic, at Oxford and Princeton.”
Mike did a TED Talk without the usual audience due to the pandemic in which he addresses these issues. I urge you to watch it. Just click in the image below and make sure your sound is turned up.
The Corona virus has us all thinking one day at a time. Mike will get you looking at the future.
