Ed Conway on the Hidden Supply Chains That Run the World

About this episode

Merryn Somerset Webb speaks with Ed Conway, economics and data editor at Sky News and author of Trade World , about the vast and often invisible supply chains behind the things we buy. They discuss whether decades of globalisation have made economies more resilient or dangerously dependent, China’s manufacturing advantage and whether the UK and Europe can rebuild their industrial base without giving up the cheap goods consumers have come to expect.
