Trade Splaining

On this episode of TradeSplaining, hosts Ardian Mollabeciri and Robert Skidmore are joined Ian Goldin - Director of the Martin School and Professor at the University of Oxford. They talk about why globalization gets such a bad rap, where it can be improved and how it can be a solution to many of the worlds issues. Ian also muses on why the world also needs more vegan kebabs.

Ardian and Rob also talk about the latest economic news coming out of China (Hint:debt is involved), rising interest rates and the real and growing potential for a global food crisis as well as how trade still seems to find a way to function despite the fragmentation of the global trading system
