Is the US Repeating Brexit's Mistakes? with Gillian Tett

Is the U.S. facing a Brexit-like polarization from the rest of the world? Zachary and Emma speak with Gillian Tett, journalist, author, Chair of the Financial Times’ Editorial Board, and Provost of Kings College, Cambridge. They discuss the intentions and longevity of Trump’s tariffs, the positives and negatives of AI on education, and how echo chambers have impacted world politics. Gillian also talks about Europe’s response to US-China trade tensions and the global rise of customized consumer culture.

What if instead of being on the brink of disaster, we’re on the cusp of a better world? No one can deny the challenges the world faces, from pandemics to climate change to authoritarianism. But pessimism and despair are too easy a response. Each week, Progress Network Founder Zachary Karabell and Executive Director Emma Varvaloucas convene a diverse panel of experts to discuss the central issues of our era, including sustainability, polarization, work, and the economy, and make the case for a brighter future. They emerge from their conversations with a counterintuitive but informed take: progress is on its way.
