In his maiden column for The Manila Times, Dr. Dan Steinbock, an internationally recognized expert of the multi-polar world, writes how world trade, investment and migration have come to a standstill. He says globalization is not dead but its drivers are moving from the transatlantic axis to Asia. Dr Steinbock focuses on international business, international relations, investment and risk among the major advanced economies and large emerging economies; as well as multipolar trends in stocks, bonds, currencies,and commodities. Altogether, he analyzes some 50 major world economies—particularly major advanced economies (G7), large emerging economies (BRICs) and a dozen strategic small- to medium-size nations, across all world regions. He is also an expert of the global ICT, competition and innovation. For more, see https://www.differencegroup.net/
