How the U.S. Is Threatening Canada's Future

from TLDR · host mark blyth, sarah rieger, devin friedman, matthew karasz

For months, the biggest economic story in the world has, seemingly, been tariffs. But according to Mark Blyth, a political economist at Brown University, that’s only a small part of it. On the week’s TLDR, Blyth breaks down how the U.S. is reshaping the global economic and political order — and what it might mean for Canada. Plus, we take a look at luxury goods markets: what’s up? What’s down? And why? And, we examine what happened when some religious scammers created their own cryptocurrency. (It didn't end well.)This episode was hosted by Devin Friedman, business reporter Sarah Rieger and former hedgefunder Matthew Karasz.
