TrumponomicsLive from Davos: The Real Conversations Around Trump's ReturnThe World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland, once a hub of globalism and progressive ideals, is now seeing a shift towards embracing the ideology of US President Donald Trump. With CEOs and other business leaders trying to get in line with his views, many are abandoning previous initiatives around equality, diversity, free trade and climate change. On this week’s episode of Trumponomics, we discuss how and why so many of the global elite at Davos are pressing “unsubscribe” on their previous commitments in favor of (like Trump’s book) the art of dealing with the new White House occupant.2025-01-2237 min
