The Meb Faber Show: “The Real Threat to America Isn’t China”
Today’s guest is Rebecca Anderson, a Senior Fellow at the McKinsey Global Institute, McKinsey’s business and economics research arm. She leads research on economic growth and the financial system, in the United States and globally.
In today’s episode, Rebecca shares her McKinsey report on what has powered America’s economy for 250 years: natural endowments, a culture of entrepreneurship, and the institutions that harnessed them. She examines labor force dynamism in the age of AI, the $2 trillion cost of reindustrialization, and a global balance sheet stretched to record highs.
