In his book "Power and Plenty", Kevin O'Rourke explains how war and conflicts affect the world's economy and trade prosperity. By highlighting insights from his research and using several economic crises as examples, he shares lessons learned from economic history to better understand the relationship between globalization, trade and war. He also shares his thoughts on the economic challenges the world is facing today and what an entity regulating world trade – the WTO – can do to address them. The discussion also brings him to answer a very important question: "Is the world as bad as it looks, or has humanity survived worse?" Tune in to find out more!
