Hello and welcome to the homecoming episode of Slate Money, your guide to the business

and finance news of the week I'm Felix Amand of Axios, Emily Peck is also here for

Hello, hello, in the studio and as a spy has is in the studio and also in the studio we have

an amazing wonderful brilliant gorgeous fabulous person, Rana Farouha, welcome. Thank you so much,

Felix, I love you, love all of you. You're about to get annoyed at me, pushing back against the

thesis of your book. Please just started well. But before we do that, tell us what is this book that

you have out? So the book is called Homecoming, The Path to Prosperity in a post-global world,

and I am arguing that we are leaving the neoliberal era and entering a new world which is going to be

somewhat less global, more regional and more local. One of my favorite journalism stories when

they first started out as a training at EuroMoney magazine back in the 1990s was one of our star

reporters Ben Edwards filed a piece of copy and the first sentence was the world is becoming

increasingly global. And we all kind of laughed at him, but now I feel like your thesis is the world

is becoming decreasingly global. Decree it is, the world is not flat. So we're going to talk about

the the unflatness and decreasingly global nature of the world. We're going to talk about

rare earths, pharmaceuticals, China, Africa. It's a glorious conversation. You're going to love it and

we also have a sleepless segment on workplace surveillance so it's all coming up on sleight money.
