Donald Trump and the New Economic Order

Since the end of World War II, the hierarchy of economic priorities has been relatively clear: build a prosperous and open world order first, then try to generate inclusive and sustainable national growth patterns. Now, a reversal seems to be underway, with far-reaching consequences for the global economy.

HONG KONG – Since the end of World War II, the hierarchy of economic priorities has been relatively clear.
