Debrief: What's Next?
We ask "What's next?" for three of our biggest stories in foreign policy, the U.S. economy and politics. What is "winning" in Ukraine? Why some believe higher inflation and gas prices are next. And a question about how, and if, American voters will change this election season. What do you think will define our next era? Something to consider: Co-president of Morgan Stanley Ted Pick recently said: "It's an extraordinary moment; we have our first pandemic in 100 years. We have our first invasion in Europe in 75 years. And we have our first inflation around the world in 40 years. When you look at the combination, the intersection of the pandemic, of the war, of the inflation, it signals paradigm shift, the end of 15 years of financial repression and the next era to come."Support this podcast at — https://redcircle.com/smarthernews/exclusive-contentAdvertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brands
