Future of Trade

“We might be able to stimulate our way back to stability, but we can only invent our way back to prosperity. We need everyone at every level to get smarter.”

“Sometimes, I worry, though, that what oil money is to Russia, our ability to print money is to America. Look at the billions we just printed to bail out two dinosaurs: General Motors and Chrysler.”

Tom Friedman’s op-ed in the NYTimes. Innovation clusters are hard to shift, but so far no one has been able to replicate the Si Valley code despite East Asian governments pouring lots of money into infra. What is trade like in a world of L-shape growth for SGP?

Hi everyone, it was nice meeting up today and let’s just kickstart it with posting and sharing articles, videos etc related to future of trade. I love Zhi Jia saying “It must make us uncomfortable!” and that’s the spirit of enquiry that’s very beneficial in pushing the boundaries beyond the known unknowns to the unknown unknowns for this topic. Gambatte!

There is a tag cloud that appears on the right. I’m tentatively just adding some starting tags, you can choose to use them to tag your post or just add your own if you find tags that are missing, or better. You can add as many tags for each post as you like.

When you are posting and you want to add a link to another article, just highlight and click on the ‘link’ icon. If you like to upload pictures/videos etc, just click on the icons next to the upload/insert above the ruler. These last two will make more sense when you start posting.

Happy posting!
