YouTube Description

as posted by the channel

The UK had its so-called Liz Truss moment in 2022 – but that’s meant to happen to small economies, not large ones like the US. Ed Balls and George Osborne reflect on the US tariffs, the trade war between the world’s two economic superpowers - and the market turmoil that has followed. Beyond the panic - and relief - on trading floors around the globe, bigger questions are now at play.

Will America still provide a reliable reserve currency? What is pushing President Donald Trump to tear at a financial system the US helped create?

On the Political Currency podcast, Ed Balls and George Osborne take us behind closed doors into the rooms where decisions are made. Having battled it out across the despatch box, the former Chancellor and shadow chancellor now meet in the studio to discuss the decisions that affect the nation’s pockets.

Our frenemies have the knowledge and experience to explain how good politics follows the economics, and expose how the powerful become powerless when faced with market forces and political currents they can’t control. New episodes available every Thursday. Our bonus EMQs - questions episode - drops on Mondays. Find Political Currency wherever you get your podcasts.
