In this episode, host Charlotte Daly discusses with Dr. Goran Ridic the potential of entering a new economic era. They start with the basics of economics and then dive into how economists define major shifts in the global economic landscape. The discussion then turns to recent developments, including new U.S. tariffs and the potential resurgence of protectionist policies. What do these changes mean for micro, small, and medium-sized enterprises (MSMEs)? Is the era of global free trade coming to an end?
