Populism and business - with Evan Lucas
Evan Lucas and Merriden Varrall discuss populism and implications for business on Exchanges
In this episode of Exchanges, Evan and I explore the rise of populism and its far-reaching implications for markets, trade, and institutional trust. We unpack how populism’s anti-establishment sentiment and ‘us versus them’ mentality are driving a new wave of protectionism, reshaping global politics and economic policy. I talk about some of the growing challenges faced by international institutions, and the role businesses must play in rebuilding public trust. The exchange also dives into Australia’s position in global trade, what rising populism means for economic diplomacy, and how politics, policy, and perception are converging to define the next era of global cooperation.
