Turbulence and trade-offs: Why economics matters
By Faisal Islam, economics editor, BBC News
What we are seeing right now in global politics is, at least partly, the culmination of a decade-long Roadrunner moment after the trauma of the financial crisis. That moment could and perhaps should have given rise to an immediate global round of trade protectionism, economic nationalism and turbulent diplomacy.
It did not then. But it was merely postponed rather than entirely prevented. The consequences appear to be with us now in the form of a slow motion global trade war, with tariffs, tensions and declining co-operation.
What the papers say
Political intrigue fills the news stands, with the Metro describing a Foreign Office “hunt” for the “mole” who leaked those memos setting out the UK ambassador to Washington’s less-than-complimentary views of the Trump administration. The FT quotes insiders suggesting the government is “no longer functioning”, while the Times describes open rebellion in the Conservative Party to stop a no-deal Brexit. Others focus on what the Daily Mail describes as “civil war” within Labour over attempts to “gag” staff as part of an ongoing row about the party’s handling of anti-Semitism and bullying claims.
