  • Thomas Friedman on the Future of America and the World: The Post-Election Dissection, Part One

    Thomas Friedman on the Future of America and the World: The Post-Election Dissection, Part One
    Nov 20 2024
    With Donald Trump now declared winner of the 2024 presidential race, the United States stands on the brink of a new era. Yet, as New York Times columnist and Pulitzer Prize-winning author Thomas Friedman has warned, the implications of Trump’s ambitious agenda may be far from harmonious. Trump has vowed to end the war in Ukraine on his first day in office, impose tariffs on China, and pressure Israel to conclude the war in Gaza. But will these bold promises stabilise global tensions — or further stoke them? In November 2024, Friedman returned to the Intelligence Squared stage in London for his first appearance since the pandemic. In conversation with broadcaster Ritula Shah he explored whether Trump’s policies will serve America’s interests or undermine its alliances and role in global affairs. This is the first instalment of our full-length in-depth discussion.

Junk material covering junk industry

I have to stop disgusted after forcing myself to listen for 5 minutes, wanting the wasted 5-minute back. The story is informative in the sense of telling what a destructive concept the "influence economy" represents n general. I'll never listen to anything remotely related to this subject again! Hence 2 stars for the story and 1 (or 0) star for overall value.
