Relative Return Unplugged: ‘The largest trade war in modern history’
In this week’s episode of Relative Return Unplugged, Dr Vladimir Tyazhelnikov from the University of Sydney’s School of Economics joins the show to break down the shifting sands of global trade dynamics and attempt to understand the way US President Donald Trump is employing tariffs.
An expert on international trade and global value chains, Tyazhelnikov explains why the current approach has led to such an extreme reaction from the US’ trade partners and the alternative options that are available to avoid a trade war that is so economically damaging for all involved.
Join us to hear about:
- Why the fluctuations in commodities prices could have benefits for some sectors despite broader concerns.
- How Chinese TikTokers are helping consumers skirt around trade restrictions.
- What the volatile nature of the policies means for businesses trying to keep up with the changes.
