Ben Chu explores how isolationism weakens the global economy and lays out the dangers of the current obsession with isolationism. By focusing on some key internationally traded commodities – agriculture, energy, metals and high- technology – he demonstrates just how thoroughly enmeshed and almost unfathomably interconnected our economies have become.

In conversation with Francis Wheen
