CSFI Economic Outlook: Not really a surprise - but I doubt the Democrats will learn

Why you should watch: The US election wasn't really as big a surprise as pundits claim. It was always a fair bet Trump would 'win' on the night - and lose thereafter. But it ought to have been a wake-up call for Democrats. However, they are slow learners - and too much wedded to the Hate Trump narrative. Meanwhile, the global economy is being pushed back into the deep freeze by dodgy 'science' and the pusillanimous need politicians have to 'do something'. One other thing to watch: China's retreat back into ideology: pragmatism is taking second place to resurgent Maoism.

In his Weekly Economic Outlook, Andrew Hilton, the CSFI’s Director, discusses the current crisis, its impact on the global economy, and what we may be missing.

Andrew is a former World Bank economist, who also ran a small economic consultancy advising international clients, particularly in the Middle East. He has an MA from New College, Oxford, an MBA from Wharton, and an MA and PhD from the University of Pennsylvania, where he was a Thouron Scholar and Kent Fellow.
