"It's Gloves Off": Tina Fordham on the New Era of Superpower Competition

Geopolitical strategist Tina Fordham joins Economic Security Watch to explain why businesses, investors and governments are entering a fundamentally different world.

From the weaponisation of trade and investment to US-China rivalry, the war in Iran, Europe's rearmament and the future of globalisation, Tina, founder of Fordham Global Foresight and the former Chief Global Political Analyst at Citi, argues that we're living through a geopolitical supercycle and there is no return to the old normal.

In this episode:

• Why business leaders must think differently about risk

• The new era of superpower competition

• How trade, technology and investment are becoming geopolitical weapons

• Why resilience is replacing optimisation
