About this episode

Richard Baldwin discusses the impact of AI and globalization on the future of work and trade.

In this episode of the AllInCrypto Podcast, we sit down with Richard Baldwin , Professor of International Economics at IMD, founder of VoxEU, and one of the world’s leading thinkers on globalization, trade and technology. Richard explains why the next major shift in the global economy may not be about manufacturing, but about services, AI and white-collar work moving across borders . We discuss how generative AI could level up workers in emerging markets, why office jobs may become increasingly globalized, and why the future of trade could be driven by services rather than goods. Richard also shares his views on Trump’s tariff strategy, the decline of manufacturing as a job engine, the future of globalization, capitalism, inequality, stablecoins, blockchain, CBDCs and whether crypto can become part of the global financial system. This is a fascinating conversation about where the world economy may be heading next — and what it means for workers, investors, businesses and emerging markets.
