National Capitalism: A New Era of Economic Survival?

As the global financial system shifts under the weight of geopolitical tensions and Chinese economic policy reversals, Russell Napier introduces a concept that could redefine the next decade: National Capitalism. This podcast unpacks the startling implications of a system where governments force domestic savings to fund national priorities, effectively ending the free flow of global capital. With 57.2 trillion USD in U.S. assets owned by foreigners and 77% of U.S. GDP reliant on external creditors, the stakes are higher than ever. Could rising Chinese inflation, a faltering U.S. debt system, and Europe’s internal pressures spark a new financial architecture? From how Ireland might adapt to a national savings mandate to whether young people could finally claw back wealth from older generations, this episode dives into the economic, generational, and geopolitical ripple effects of a post-globalist world.

Om Podcasten

The aim of this weekly podcast is to make economics easy, uncomplicated and accessible. With the world at a political, technological and financial tipping point, economics has never been so important to all of us and yet, it’s made inaccessible and complicated by so many.I’ve always thought what is complicated is rarely important and what is important is rarely complicated.That will be our motto.Every week we are going to tease out some big economic or political issue facing us, not just here in Ireland but in Europe and further afield. Globalisation has brought us all together. We all face similar challenges whether you live in Dublin, London, Minnesota or Milan.If you would like to enjoy all of our content ad-free and have early access to episodes, subscribe to DMCW+ on Apple Podcast.If you would like to support the show, please consider becoming a patron at www.patreon.com/DavidMcWilliams.
