Economist and geopolitical analyst Tom Luongo joins the Economic Review to break down what he believes is the real economic strategy behind the Trump administration’s policies. We discuss why these changes are being pursued, who stands to benefit, and which powerful interests are pushing back against them. We also explore Tom’s view of the ongoing struggle between the City of London financial establishment and the rise of the technocrats, and why understanding that dynamic may change who we see as friends—and who we see as enemies. Finally, we discuss the forces that have fueled instability throughout the Middle East for decades, and why Tom believes preventing the conditions for a third world war is a central objective behind the broader strategy.
