Episode 78
Madame El Presidente, Buyout Britain, Ankara’s Away
Mexico has a new President.
She’s the first woman President.
She’s the first Jewish president.
But most importantly, she’s the second Andrés Manuel López Obrador President.
As the outgoing leader’s hand picked successor takes over, what does the continuity version of his wiley non-orthodox socialism look like when it comes to Mexico’s global standing?
Meanwhile, for once America’s not going for a Mexican. It’s going for a British. The world’s least fashionable takeaway destination is also presently the world’s most underpriced stock market. As American money swoops in, it’s not clear whether they’ll leave the bones.
Finally, news is that Turkey is drifting closer to BRICS membership.
Nato’s most fragile member seems to be ever-further out of alignment with the West. It’s certainly the dawning of a golden age of Multipolarity.
But will it improve on the acronym?
