Picking back up from the inaugural Portfolio Construction Forum da Vinci Lecture the prior day, renowned journalist and editor Michael Stutchbury sits down with Oliver Hartwich to discuss the five interconnected crises threatening the foundations of the Western order discuss the practical implications for Australia and NZ, which depend on global trade, laws, stable currencies and open technology. When big powers shake up these systems, it is usually the smaller countries that feel it first. The world we created from the Peace of Westphalia to Bretton Woods owes much to thinkers like Grotius, Locke and Smith. Now that structure is coming apart. The old rules are fading away and nothing seems to be stepping in to fix things by itself. What happens next depends on us. This is not merely a philosophical choice. It is an investment one.
